Realistic Sale Price

    Hi I'm going traveling in August and looking to sell my car provided I can recoup a decent % of the original cost.
    I'm only going to sell it if I don't lose too much on so looking for a realistic estimation of its private sale value.
    2011 BMW 320D ES 177BHP Cloth interior, alloys etc. Interior and Body Condition are immaculate. 90,000 Miles
    Always been serviced in BMW garages. One UK owner and one other Irish owner, full cartel report, Tax is 190e and taxed till December and NCT till next Summer.

    Purchased in a car dealership that is not BMW but servicing done by BMW. Full Service History from new. No major work done

    Assuming everything I said is correct, what would be a realistic value for me to get. I'll keep the original sale price to myself for now.

    Looking on dondeal there are a lot of these cars for sale, most of them still on UK plates so you must price yours aggressively if you want to sell it quickly.

    Above is one of the cheapest examples and it's a SE model so taking VRT into account your probably talking about asking around €10,500 for yours imo depending how quickly you want to shift it. If it's had it's timing chain replaced then mention that as it's a bonus for anyone in the market for one of those cars.

    BTW the original sale price makes no difference to the here and now.

    Yes I know that, it's relevant to me as I won't bother selling it if I'm losing too much. My brother will keep it for the year

    Yeah 10,500 is too low, if that's what I'm going to get for it, I'll hold on to it.

    Ok that bit wasn't clear from the original post.

    It was actually what I said in the second sentence.

    Anyway, I appreciate the insight, thanks. Re-Sale price is definitely less than I thought.
