Advice please
Hi all, I am after some advice on behalf of my mother in law. We just lost my father in law to a stroke. She doesn't drive and has asked me to sell his car, 2003 2.0 V6.
I appreciate it's not worth much but she need the money so I don't want to sell it for £300 if it's worth £1000, or never sell it by asking too much. What should we ask for a tidy (not immaculate) 74000 mile one of these? It has just had an MOT, on the day he had his stroke!, and it went straight through. Always serviced and just had a new battery. Not sure the exact model but it does not have leather if that helps. Any advice appreciated, just looking for a sensible ball park figure. Thanks in advance. Peter |

Hi Peter, sorry to hear the circumstances of the sale, can you post a picture or two of the car that will give us some idea of value for you.
If you are unsure how to post pics, you can email me some [email protected] and I’ll add them for you.

Nothing through, did you put an underscore between v8 and trike as sometimes it gets blocked out!

Firstly Peter, sorry to hear of your loss, always a shock and takes time to get over.
A V6 auto is a nice combo, it has a bit of body work needing attention. Do you know if it's had its cam belts done, how solid are jacking points, plus any water ingress in cabin or boot, all four points will influence its sellablity P |

Yes the cam belts were done (I remember the language when he found out the cost!).
It's all solid and is dry as a bone inside. He never mentioned any leaks to me. I think the only advisory on the MOT was for soft roll bar mounting rubbers. I took pictures of the marks I could see on the bodywork. There is also a small 10-15mm tear in the drivers seat bolster. As I said I'm just looking for advice so we get best value for my wife's Mum. |
