Honest Opinion Needed. How Much Is My Car Now Worth

[58 Avensis T180]

I'm having to sell my 58 (2nd generation) Avensis 2.2d T180 D-CAT. It's a 2 owner with full service history and only 47, 780 on the clock. I Paid £6,700 a year ago. It's in really good conditon apart for a few scraped alloys and small dent in the rear bumper. How much can I get for it if I sell it privately? Got a shock with what the garage offered me as a trade in.

Sorry to say but you brought that car really expensive and its current value is anywhere between below value of £4,900, average value will be around £5350 and cln value if sold at a good price will be around £5600. Dont think you will get any more than £5700 personally if your selling privately.

Your best bet would probably be to get a paid valuation from either:

Thanks for letting me know. My local garage only offered me £4,500 as a trade in...Gutted. Seemingly during these difficult times there isnt much of a demand for big cars and high fuel bills, everyone seems to want a small/medium car. Thinking of getting a Honda Jazz but the handling and refinement isnt meant to be all that great.

Honda Jazz ? rather keep the avensis.

Its funny how this thread has been created. Iv been thinking for the past week or so to sell mine. I dnt want to and neither is there anything wrong with it. I just need a hatchback or an estate as I have 3 boys and the youngest is still in a pushchair. This avensis is a saloon.

Dnt know what else to get that can give a similar sort of mpg and and comfort and space.

In addition to the Jazz, have a look at the Kia Venga/Hyundai ix20, Urban Cruiser and Verso S.

I was offered £2600 trade in for a top of the range T180 2.2L estate in metallic grey with loads of toys! In immaculate condition with a new engine from Mr T with 20k on clock! Didn't take it! But glad to be rid of the piece of crap!...

The VW up is getting a lot of awards and can seemingly get 60mpg easily, might be worth checking out
