Leon 52 plate sale prices?

[TINCAN]

I have a Facelift Leon Cupra 52 plate. Comes with leather interior, folding mirrors and all the other normal stuff, climate control etc etc. Does have full service history just got to get Seat to stamp the last few It has 105k on the clock and i'm thinking about selling soon and wondered looking at the for sale section would me selling at £4k be about right or is that too high/low?

Any ideas appreciated as in the new few weeks it will be listed in various places all being well.

As a side note, does anyone have a guide on other car prices. Also going to sell her car.

It a Fiat Stilo, 53 plate. 1.6 Dynamique comes in yellow and has on 35k on the clocks. Full service history.

Any comments welcomed. Selling to buy one car for the wife as i will be getting a lease car soon.

I have often been told in the past to see what prices similar cars are up for on Autotrader and Piston Heads, but my personal opinion is that these are just the prices that the owner is asking for. What they actually get is anyone's guess.

Personally, if it's any help, I paid £4,700 for my 52-plate LCR in March. 93k miles on the clock at the time and FDSH up to 90k when the selling garage serviced it. I think £4k is a reasonable price based on that, but I don't know, that's just my opinion

I paid 3k for my 51 plate Cupra with 73k miles back in June.....

I think some dealers and sellers aren't in touch with what these cars are actually selling for these days

The best guide to use is Autotrader website as this shows what cars are getting advertised for & you are bound to find similar cars to yours so you can make a realistic valuation. Funnily enough my car sounds very similar to yours - a 52 plate with 99k & i'd value mine at around £3k so with your leather interior i'd say £3k - £3.5k but thats just my guess. Good luck with the sale

I still stand by my original statement

You have a valid point as with any advert it shows the price being asked not the price of sale. You will never get a perfect guide as there are too many factors influencing a price. However, as Autotrader has a large number of cars for sale its unlikely that all cars will be overpriced or underpriced. You need to look at a few prices to get a fair guide only then will you be able to establish what the high, low & average prices are. Also note that it states whether the seller is a trader or a private seller. A trader's price will usually be higher as he has to make a profit as well as include a warranty thus you usually pay more at a dealer as you have comeback if there are problems.

You are also likely to get more realistic prices on a site where you are charged to advertise as people are less likely to advertise at a silly high price as they are paying for the advert!

Agreed

£4k? Sounds a bit steep to me that.

In your educated opinion then what should it be, if you know its a bit steep what is a good price ?

You might luck out & find someone who wants it at 4k, but I doubt it - that's the going rate for one with 2/3rds the mileage (give or take)

£3.5k would be a sensible price to advertise at, with £3250 as your back stop.
