Quick value question

Postby Willdat? » Sat Nov 17, 2007 2:03 pm

Mum and Dad are just about to buy a new Corolla wagon, only offered 3k as a trade in on their 1999 Mitisubishi Lancer Station Wagon.
They are the only owners, had a full Mitsubishi dealer service history, 5 speed with 82kms...Anyone got an idea of what I should put it on trademe for?

Tried for a 5k No Reserve, 6k buy now...I think that seems pretty reasonable?

Mate, that is shocking. They're better off selling it themselves and then buying a Corolla.

Where are they looking at getting the Rolla from?
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Bowater Toyota in Nelson, took one for a drive today. It's not the most exciting car to drive, but not too bad for what they are, and especially at the price (23k on the road with side airbags).
