Im looking to trade in my MX5 but not sure what its worth! All the car value sites (parkers etc) seems to want me to pay £3.50 but not sure which one to use and if its worth it! Dont wanna get ripped off with the trade in value, looking at an 03/04 ish mk2.5 value around £6k.
I have a;
1998 Mark 2 (Basic Model), Mileage around 84k, MOT & Serviced in May
2 Owners, FSH, Alloys, Remote Central Locking/Cobra Alarm
General Good Condition but the odd scuffs/dints as its getting on
If someone could give me an idea what I should get for it or recommend a car value site it would be great!
Trade in values will vary according to where you buy your next car from, and what type. Some dealers will figure a trade in price based on what you are buying from them (how much profit they have etc). The car supermarkets might operate in a different way though, as they are looking to get shot of trade in’s straight away. I found AvailableCar.com to be very fair in valuing a BMW; they can give you a guide price by return phone call, with the proviso much will depend on the condition of the car. Their valuation is irrespective what you want to buy from them, and is good for 2 weeks.
I reckon you’d be lucky to see £2k on a trade in against a relatively cheap Mk2.5; the Mk2.5 probably owes the dealer £3-4k.
