    I'd list it for £4300 ono and see where that takes you. If you get £4000 for it then I think you should take the money and run!

    Perhaps this price is still too high? So hard to know where to pitch your price just now. It really depends on how good the condition of the car is.

    You are probably about right if it's immaculate if it's not I might be tempted to advertise it at £4,000 leaving off the ono.

    Watch cars listed on eBay (auction not classified). Find a few the same age and spec as yours and see what they go for. That's your price.

    Yes, check "completed listings" for a price indication. You may not like what you see.

    Almost certainly wont, realistic price though. Unfortunately the motor trade has been decimated, much like the housing market.

    The rest were asking silly money, next lowest to the above was £4900 start price, auction ended with no bids.
