Fuel type? Model type? Body type? I thought 1997 was a P reg as well - but it's late, so I can't be bothered to think straight atm.

Your best bet may be to search through a Glass's Guide, which should give you the value of your car. There may be an on line version.

[wolfman999]

its petrol, i did say coupe, 1997 is R aswell as P, if you cannot be bothered to think straight then why reply also I said I searched online, didnt you read the question.

and 'its worth wot you're prepared to accept' doesnt give me any indication on its value because I would accept £10,000 but I know its not worth as much as that.

This websites called anwserbank you anwser a question if you can advise or help please do not repeat my questions or post useless anwsers.

Apologies wolfman - you DID state that it's a Coupe, but Glasses've been giving valuations for years, and I thought you may not've tried them.
Here you go, if it's of any help...

And you could try being a little more polite, because no one can help you much if you don't give more info. I presume you've checked out car mags and garages, and your local Hyundai dealer should be able to give you a rough idea as well.

[tamborine]

Ooooops sorry.....Most dealers look up 'book prices' and offer you less - that's what I searched. However, I have a 15y old Nissan Sunny (from new) I wouldn't part with as it NEVER lets me down, no matter how long I leave it standing.

[wolfman999]

hi Ice.....we're in the dog house? leave this to the guys to sort!

[Ice.Maiden]

We're all tired hun. Was just trying to help, and I obviously didn't read your description properly.
You're right about dealers tamb, but they can give you an idea of what to expect. I think i'd get a valuation, and then advertise with a bit more added, sold "as seen" or nearest offer over....

[chas2008]

as a motor repairer we stopped using glasses guide years ago, we just log onto Autotrader and compare whats being asked for similiar vehicles (doesnt mean thats whats its worth but its gives a fair indication) the insurance companies are more than happy with this way of doing things

It\'s worth depends on the length of the MOT, but you only say \'till next year\'

Is that January or October.

With a 12 month MOT I would hazard a guessat £500.

[Panic Button]

Actually, if it is as good as you describe, someone may give more than that.

Depends on service history, tyre depth, proveable milage.

Where do you live, I might want it?!

[R1Geezer]

you still haven't told us what model it is, however I'd be surprised if you get £500 max. The problem with autotrader is that most of the cars are at least 30% over priced, this is for 2 reasons 1) autotrader don't sell cars they sell advertising so they couldn't care less if you flog it or not and 2) most people have an unrealistic idea of the value of their car, mainly because the would have paid too much when they bought it.

Hi wolfman, try this site it will give the value of your car and it wont cost you anything. My son had one the same make and year as yours but the only way he could get any reasonable price was if he was going to part exchange it. Even then most garages didn't want to know it. My own car is even older than yours with less than half the milage but if I wanted to sell it I would get next to nothing even though it is in almost perfect condition. Are you looking for the price to sell or just to see what the book price is.

Hi, although the car to you will be worth ££££££££££££££££££££ ????? the buyer will because of the age expect the car for as little as possible, there is a site that deals only with your model of car & plenty of enthusiasts use it I would advertise on the but In my opinion you will be lucky to get what has been already stated due to the amount of cars about younger than yours for little money. Good Luck though.

Mind you, the scrappage scheme has reduced the supply of cheap cars on the used market.

If yours is lovely and shiny, try putting a for sale sign in the windscreen for a few hundred. Someone in need of wheels might fall in love with it.

OK i will TRY to answer your question with figures rather than the waffle some have been spouting.
Because of the age most people would be looking to pay 500-800 for it i would think with a bit of tax and plenty of test. However this is a Coupe and an attractive looking car so for an impulse sale you may get up to maybe £1200 as a private sale. I'd try it at 1195 with a sign in the window for starters and i think it's worth no less than 700-800 private sale.

C'mon Wolfie, where are you?
