At trade value you will get around £200 - 400, if you are lucky i would say 600, stick out for what you told them the car is worth and argue that if you are to buy the same car again it would cost you x amount, see what they say?

Good luck dude - (I only say £200 because this is all i was offered as per trade deal and mine is a 2000 1.6 100 sx with 70k

T reg? That make it a '99? Not sure whether it's worth arguing the toss on a "scrappage scheme" valuation, which would put it at £2000.

Probably won't work, but can't say it's not worth a try

not the best because i doubt you will find a cra as tidy for that type of money

do you have legal protection? if so i would be on the phone to them and inform them you were looking at trading it in on the scrapage scheme, hence a saving of 2k, afterall this is the value the goverment have put on all cars over 10 years old!

you dont ask you dont get!

id say more than 200 , i was offered 600 on my 1.6, fortnight ago, with 108000 on the clock

thanks for the replys.i should find out tomorrow.i will be pissed off if they dont offer around £900 as i wont find a motor as good for less,and at the end of the day it wasnt my fault but i could end uo worse off

£900?!

Highly unlikely I would have thought. £500 mark I would have thought or thereabouts.

might be worth arguing that trade value on a 10 year old car is £2k at the moment
