VR6 Auto 1996

I will be selling my much loved VR6. Its a five door hatchback. Whats the best source of information to estimate its value?

 

Body work is in great condition for age. It will needs a New exhaust Also there is a Drain on the battery AND the ABS light is on.

My personal view is;

 

A lot of enthusiasts are anti-auto so they can be hard to sell compared to a manual.

 

Needs air con and leather ideally, although red is a good colour provided it has not faded.

 

Not enough sold and condition varies widely (as expected on a 20 year old car) to fix a firm price.

But I think the range is £1000 for a decent runner to £3500 for a minter. A fixer upper is sub £500.

You see cars advertised for more, but they don't sell. There are a lot of (manual) show cars out there at the moment.

 

Original examples with sensible mods might start appreciating in 4-5 years time (a bit like Corrados are now).

 

Battery drain is normally a defective after market alarm. For an exhaust go for a used performance one that is not too loud.

Pete,

 

thankyou very much much for your advice.

 

i have just put the car for sale on eBay with a starting price of £350 ( which hurts as have just spent £440 on new battery, alternator, leads but I guess that's cars...)

 

thanks
