Can I call on your expertise here chaps?
Have just been offered £4500 by a dealer for my Berlingo in P/ex but wondered what a reasonable price would be to ask for it privately. It's an 03 reg, had MOT yesterday, new front discs and pads, has A/C, new Michelin front tyres 3 months ago, 37k miles, Modutop, Sahara Gold metallic paint (OK Adam, beige!). No dents, dings or other damage.
Thanks.

Dumb aren't I? - it's a 2.0HDi engine

Your guess is (at least) as good as mine, but since the average dealer price indicated by Autotrader seems to be a bit over £6000, I would reckon £5000 if you want a quickish sale, or £5500 if you are a good salesman or have an aquaintance who is eager to buy it.

Thanks tyro - I've been trawling Autotrader (link on left) and various other sites - there do seem to be quite a few at just over £6k (several at £6200 to £6495)but without a/c and modutop thing - how much does a/c add to basic price - a couple of hundred?

Probably about that. No doubt some people won't consider a car without it.
Of course, some Berlingo buyers are looking for a budget vehicle, and aircon is just one more thing to service (or go wrong) and a modutop is one more potential source of leaks.

I see what you mean - I should never have had that middle pedal either - it wore out the discs and pads!!

FWIW, What Car? reckon you'd get about £300 more for a private sale than you would for a part-ex, and that a buyer would expect to pay £1000 less if buying privately than buying from a dealer.

Lot of doggie people want these and wont consider one without aircon. Nothing worse than a hot and bothered dog on its way to a show.
