I have a Punto 55S 1996 N reg., approx. 74000 miles, bodywork ok, serviced regularly, no leaks, good reliable nippy car. What should I expect to get for it in a private sale, I was offered £500 for a trade in?

3 or 5 door? £500 is about right anyway, you may be lucky and get £750

It's a 3 door. Do you think I could ask for £750 in a private sale dave?

you can try, young drives are attracted to 3 doors and it falls into low tax and insurance
