Note that prices above are solely a guide and can vary considerably between areas. Modifications to cars may deter a buyer however the vendor may perceive them.

When advertising a vehicle, please be sure to include the following details: which mk, year, model, saloon or estate, manual or auto, 2 or 4 door, detailed condition e.g. ripped seats dented panels, rusted sills etc. any modifications from standard, whether there is Tax or Mot, location of vehicle, selling price and contact phone no. or email.
