Hey guys,
Where would I go to get an opinion of how much a car is worth? As in to sell. My problem being that the snakeoil salesmen are a little on the dodgey side, and generally unreliable. Added to that the fact that the ute is a rather rare factory gas MANUAL AU3 SE. Meaning that Carsales etc are not much of a gauge as you rarely find the same model on there. Any thoughts?

Red book is a rough guide only and prone to being highly inaccurate. I've seen red book values of 4wd's of 11K for cars selling on the open market for 18 to 25K and my coupe they said was wort 2200 to 4900. the market has ones in my cond for 30K plus. Red Book sux your better off doing research on carsales dot com and trading post to see what others are selling for. |

Redbook is handy as a rough guide to popular recent models where there is a lot of volume in the market, perhaps I should have pointed this out when I posted, I didn't have a lot of time. Of course there will always be exceptions, especially with rare or collectable cars. It is totally pointless to say "my coupe is worth X and redbook says Y" something as (now) rare as an XA - XC coupe (I presume that's what you mean) is worth what ppl are prepared to pay. Most that I've seen advertised recently are rolling shells, maybe that skews the figures in Redbook's data? I've used Redbook as a guide prior to selling 2 cars and buying 1, in every case the deals were done at prices within Redbook's range. As I said, a handy rough guide, not a bible.

from rego ... and also what people put down when they sell/transfer rego as well ... and a lot of people put lower prices on them ... just so the transfer fee is less ... so that screws things up as well..
They also go on market averages too. Due to my kays ... I have been told my ute (even with all extras on it) ... is close to about $5-6K ... and it's only 6 years old.

I was looking at upgrading to a newer ute ... but haven't been bothered. I had it advertised for about $11K though ... but got nothing ... and there were quite a few AU EGAS utes out there for sale ... and all of them had been on the market for a while too. I guess because of the ages of the vehicle ... people are after the B-series EGAS models more now.

dont use redbook.
use this one instead, its powered by GlassGuide which is what ALL caryards use. if you want an EXACT figure on YOUR car, then use GlassGuide, pay for the service (one off fee) and you get to put in EVERY SINGLE detail of YOUR car and it will take everything into consideration and spit out a figure for you. this one is www.drive.com.au (its under value my car) http://www.drive.com.au/buy/market_v...ries=XLS:AUIII |
