Well Tony, I normally get slated for having an opinion on here, so rarely bother to post on these type of threads any more!

However, if you want to PM me, I'll give you my opinion!

You could try putting your details into here and see what it comes up with. Though I expect it would say under £1,000.

As above, I guess you had already spent quite a bit on the September 2013 service to get it through it's MOT, but if it still has problems then that will put off a good number of potential buyers.

If you're then looking to buy a £1,000 S Type you might end up with one that has problems too!

For my two penneth worth you would be better selling the Stereo separately as then you could get very good money for it. Value wise its very hard to say as its got a fantastic spec but the miles are going to hit it hard and put people off.
One of the trade gurus will be along soon im sure! Whatever you do good luck.

Thanks guy's. Tbh as Ive just replied in a PM I was just putting out a feeler as I have been in 2 minds whether to sell or keep.
Ive put in a lot of time and cash keeping her on the road and in the 3 years Ive had her she has done over 20.000 miles of trouble free driving.
Number 6 i think you are correct, in all likelihood I'm going to keep her


Thanks for the replies, if a mod can close this thread

Coward.......
I was looking forward to some light entertainment Mark

I would have thought your car would have been worth around the £1500 range looking at prices on line.
