It's far too old to make £3500 and the servicing and condition makes it worth far more to you than anyone else. It is from this point on that you are likely to get the full value out of it. Everyone else will see just another 14 year old car that could fail the MOT and cost a fortune to run for the limited time left in it. Ultimately any car is worth what someone will pay for it, so good luck. If it were me I would keep it and run it until it was not worth running any more, then scrap it. Mechanically it should be good for at least another 50k miles or double that if you cover a high mileage. Change the Suzuki or just sell it. That's what I would do but YMMV.

Most new vehicle dealers will take them back as part exchanges and trade them to an auction ASAP to turn them into cash. I have had good experience with private individuals in the past. Try some on'line advertisers like auto trader which you can also buy in your newsagent. If you wish to p/x the Suzuki then remember that there is no point in a trader doing a deal unless he grosses at least a Grand in the deal. That is how he makes a living and he has costs to deduct from that. Best bet may be to sell that privately as well. Huw I suspect that your paj will be worth peanuts in part-ex. However, you should be able to get just under £2,000 in a private sale if in good nick. FWIW, this is from a quick search on Autotrader, where ones with 60k-70k on the clock were going for £2,000 to £2,750. That said, you could check Autotrader for your area.

IIRC you can view these if you don't log in - but you'll need to register and make at least ten "non- frivolous" posts in other sections before you can post in "for sale" or "wanted". TBH, if you have one Pajero and are thinking of buying another, you should really consider joining the club. It's free for basic membership, some very knowledgeable people post in the technical forums, there are club meetings to suit everyone (from dedicated mudpluggers to the shiniest of the shiny), and there is even a club insurance scheme (that has saved me lots). HTH, SignatureGeoff >i have 1993 lwb 2.5 turbo diesel mitsubishi pajero it has 106000 miles > on the clock and is mechanicly sound i have all service history from > 65000 miles when i bought it. As someone who is looking for a nice Shogun at the moment, I can tell you that shogun/pajero prices are on the floor. And the two models most struggling for buyers are the 2.5 diesel and 3.0 petrol - most people look for the 2.8 diesel. As for the adverts in autotrader - I've seen some of them in there for four months now. Don't assume they're selling! The best way to get a feel for the market is to see what things are actually selling for - eBay can be a good way of doing this - look under 'completed items'. |
