Fair valuation price from CAP / Glass please.... - the_bandit
I'm looking to trade in my MK2 Galaxy for a new car and would appreciate it if someone could give me a fair trade in price from a trade source rather than the likes of Parkers / WhatCar etc.... I want to avoid being done over!!


Car in question:

Oct 2003 Ford Galaxy Ghia (Model 03-06)
1.9 TDI (115 BHP)
Metallic Silver
70,000miles
FSH
12months MOT
10months TAX
All 4tyres have >6mm tread
New spare
Includes factory fit DVD multimedia
Some stone chips to front bonnet, small small dink on drivers door, rear bumper has scuffs on upper surface.


Please note that the price for my new car is at the RIGHT price so there can be no chancing of the dealer to offer me more for this Galaxy than it is really worth. Like they say, focus on the cost to change.

Maybe, but his car isn't in excellent condition, it sounds as though it's average at best. No offence intended of course, just stating a fact.

So more like £7,300 then. :-)

Good colour
Turbo Diesel
FSH
12 months MOT
10 months tax
DVD

on the negative - only the usual stone chips,small ding & scuffs - easily and (importantly) cheaply fixed by the trade.

It's a popular car/colour/history/tax/DVD - he should be looking for top book trade in £8300 IMO!
