    Hi,

    I just go an offer from my good mate from Scotland to buy cheaply citroen xsara 1.4 8V from 2003, hatch, it is in perfect working order, although no fsh, 50k miles on the clock, no mot, etc

    I am thinking of selling it in Dublin, after taking vrt and nct into account it must fetch minimum 3200 euro. Is it realistic? Will it sell it before Christmas??

    checked the carzone so the minium is 3000 although many cars are listed for much more, just dont know if xsara will be a good sell or one of those cars noone wants to buy

    will appreciate your opinion as I am not working in the car business

    I think you'd be mad to try and make money out of it at the moment. 2nd hand cars are not selling at all plus you'll have a percentage of people put off for the simple reason that it's a french (imho thats bollix) plus in 6 weeks time it's a year older in eveybodys mind.

    The 1.4 is particularly underpowered also. i have a 2 litre diesel and it's the most economical car that i have driven had been tinking of selling it best thing that happened was that it got wrote off and the assesor who obviously has mental health issues seriously overvalued it:D

    Thats just my opinion i'm sure others will have other ideas. What ever you choose best of luck with it.

    I'd also be a bit nervous of the service history as i think this is a big thing in the UK

    I sold my 2001 1.4 xsara (100 k miles, but in great condition) for a mere €1100 a few weeks ago - I didn't even get any calls about for the two months it was on sale for until I dropped the price to €1500, and even then the person that took it was actually the only one to come and look at it.

    Chances of getting 3200 for the one you're talking about sound a bit slim to me.
