TBH its worth what ever you were willing to pay in this climate

[Mrsmopp]

Its quite hard to say as the prices on T5's seem to fluctuate on a weekly basis but somewhere between 800 and 1200 would be about right IMO

Just out of interest, what did you pay for it??.

£1,150


I think I got a good deal due to the history and condition.

Had her on the rollers today and she gave out 264bhp so must have been re-mapped at some stage.

I'm in a tricky position here.....like Mrsmopp I have 2 large dogs, a 10yr old German Shepherd and a 18 month old Bullmastiff. I used to have a Passat 20v before my T5 and thought my dogs would be ok on the back seat of my T5 with a blanket over it.....they are not! Trouble is I have really taken to my T5so def' want another, only this time I will get an estate!

Is it a trick of the light or does the inside edge of your fns tyre want a good coat of looking at?

The estate is perfect for large dogs, plenty of space!!

Nice little bonus finding out its mapped too!

If it has been remapped, best he tell his insurance company then.

and if possible find out what remap it has had and where from

That is indeed a very nice example mate. I wouldn't place too much importance on monetary value as it is in the eye of the beholder. Mine is in a similar condition at 122k and fsh,re-mapped etc and I have the original bill of sale at £28000. Typed my reg into one of these "Cash for your car" sites for an experiment and they valued it at £210.

[j@mie]

it just goes to show...

I'm never buying a new car again... past 4 cars I have had have been 1-2 years old.

My V50 T5 R-Design has everything on it... the Salesman said the car was just under £30K brand new with all the extras ontop.

I paid £16K a year and a bit later! With on 20K miles on the clock...

Just goes to show how much they depreicate.

[jonno12]

i payed 1000 for mine and its exactly the same but manual and it had 112500 on the clock all depends on how far you want to travel aswell i suppose

but looks like a nice car matey

was that webuyanycar by any chance i had a fiesta r reg with 26000 on the clock and they offered me 180 quid for it so i rang them, and just laughed at them lol

[BigV]

I would say about 1k depending....

I had a goldish coloured T5 saloon last year which I picked up in very tidy condition with FSH & 75k miles for just shy of £1200......... I then had a moment of insanity and decided I needed a more economical car and I sold it for the same price............. I still regret that, as although I picked up a nice C70 for similar money, I preferred the 850 to drive and it was more practical day to day.

Yours is a nice colour as well.

Let me know if your selling in the future lol

Yep!! They offered £2800 for my brother's mint '02 plate C70 2.0T auto with less than 30k and FSH aswell.

Just put my P2 in and £720!! they valued my XJR @1800 last year, but there must some one gulible or deperate enough out there.

She's a real beauty mate and in that red I think its stunning. Yu definately were not done on price. I think you paid what would be expected, what people don't realise is wheyou take the preformance, reliability, comfort etc these cars re absolute bargains. As for the car buyin people, I have a 99 sriprimera in mint codition and they offered me 150 so I'd be thinking not.

[AlanG]

Speaks volumes about this sh****e that these vultures are able to trade. Should be shot at dawn.........every day for a month!!
