ive got my trooper up for 2200 fair price very clean car,9 months mot left on,dont think im being very unfair on the price going by the autotrader. its got a big mileage but its got 60 odd on a new engine and turbo, receipts and full service print outs of everything thats been done to it...

So these car dealers moaning they aint making any money.. is it any surprise when you only offer rock bottom prices for good motors,
i was going against a mitsi galant vra with 80 on the clock, 93 miles away so was gonna make then journey...
SO WHAT DID THEY OFFER ME FOR MINE  ???????

"WE WOULD NEEED YOUR TROOPER AND 1400 AGAINST A Y REG GALANT"
THEN THEY QUOTED THE GUIDE BOOKS .
RECKON A 99 WITH 85K IS  BOOKING £875... JOKERS AINT THEY CHAPS....
I WAS EXPECTING 1500 AND GIVE THEM 500.. WOULD HAVE LET IT GOP FOR THAT BUT NOT 600 QUID....

RANT OVER !! LOL OH AND I ASKED A DEALER BY ME THAT I KNOW AND HE SAID 2500 FOR MINE IS NOT FAR OFF A GOOD PRICE !!!

To be honest a lot of the Troopers on eebuygum and Auto trader are not selling unless there at a bargain price. With the way the economy is, nobody is buying, especially big 4x4's. Also the problem is the 3 litre has got a pretty bad repetation for it self due to the amount of problems they have had, hence the reason the garage offered you £875, at least they will take it in exchange, a lot of the garages near me will not touch them.

I paid £1100 for a 97 3.1 Diesel with 98000 on the clock, 10 months MOT and 12 months tax, and that was in November.

Its not just 4x4 that are suffering, I traded in my 99 Golf gti a while ago, and only got £1200, I paid £4500 2 years ago.  Sad

ahh but your forgetting about the things the dealers have to put on the car to resell it, we have to add a £600 warranty with any second hand cars we sell plus we have to sort out any bodywork within reason of course prep it re mot it the list is endless.
