General ummm what to do???

1st off id like to say Hello to everyone,
Im Tom and new to the Forum and hoping to own a GPS very soon hopefully this week,

My question is........

Iv been and viewed a Red GPS on a 2006 has done 45k which was nice but parts have started to Fade in colour, but that isnt to much of a problem.
but..............

Then seen at a Auction near me a 57 Plate WHITE GPS has 26k is going through tommorow which looks amazing in white but has a couple more marks on it but again isnt a biggie.

My question is How much do you think the white one is worth? as if i dont decide i think the Red one will be sold and then ill be stuck.

Thanks Guys

At an auction I would say anywhere between £5700 - £6500 would be a fair price.

Which ever one you get you're gonna love it.

trouble buying at auction is, you have to pay their fees even if you are only buying. be aware and add that on to your final bid ....

yeah i know so min of £5700 then?

use this a rough guide

for the £ you are paying i would go to a dealer, you will have a years warranty on the car, they are desperate to sell cars so bargains are to be had.

On the paintwork issue - this is more likely with colours in the red end of the colour spectrum. If you see one without faded paint, just make sure you take care of it well! Vauxhall is the worst I know for red paint fade.

yeah its not that bad to be honest but i am a Paint Detailer by Trade anyway so no issues with that, but really wanted the White one as i think they look awesome but feel it would fetch to much but we'll see tommorow. Wish me Luck but hopfully either way should have one tommorow!
