Hi all!
I currently own a GP Sporting T-Jet. Its done 24k and has been excellent for me, i love it to pieces and has so far been faultless!

However, With a baby on the way my sensible side is coming out and i have just spotted an 07 Bravo 150 Sport, 20k miles. for £8k

So i have come across to your board to ask any owners of this model what they think of it? And if i was to go for it what i could expect to get for my GP.
Ideally i'd be looking at £500-£750 to change up.

Thanks

Part-exchange Price:

Average condition:
£4720

You'll be looking at a hell of a lot more than £750 to change.
Even if you haggle some money off the bigger car it'll be over £2k you need to find.

What about a private sale?
Just rang the garage where the Bravo is and they have had 3 people phone about it already! So i doubt i could sell it in time. shame :(

Quick look on autotrader and the GP T-Jet's are still quite rare. i'd never trade it in for £5290 though thats quite depressing really!

The reason there are so few is because no one wants to sell them at the current value. Fiat's always lose a lot of money in the first 2/3 years so although you're car may be 'rare' it's only because it would be a waste of money to sell it now.4

My Bravo cost me £7500 16 months after the original owner payed £14500+ for it.

Sorry to say that, but as other already point out, you be shock when you hear what they will offer to your car. For a 8k car, I be very supraise they want anything less than 2.5-3k + your car.

You'd probably advertise it at a bit under £7k and expect to get £6400 or so for it.

There's no great difficulty in getting Bravos so you shouldn't find it too hard to get one if you do sell privately.

Ouch.
Makes the cost of fuel pretty irrellevant when they lost that much on depreciation , doesn't it.

Yup, hence why worrying about the MPG and the fact a derv does an extra 5MPG means sod all unless you plan on keeping the car a while or doing moon mileage.

People forget to fact in depreciation.

So a second hand car doesn't depreciate?

Against list price, my Bravo cost the first owner about £400 / mile in depreciation. ( 7 months old, 14 Yes FOURTEEN miles on the clock ). Even if my car is worthless now, depreciation would ( for me ) be only about £1 / mile. Yes it will depreciate, but its not so painfull.
