    what trim level? Life, active, club? makes big difference to price.

    Do you mean 1.7cdti auto? is it diesel? or do you mean 1.8 vvt - petrol

    If you are able to sell it privately then you should in general get the better price over p/x, but that takes time and effort and obviously p/x is a much easier process. If you want to squeeze every penny out of it then try and sell it privately.

    Looks like you could expect something between £4300 - £4700 p/x, probably toward higher end of estimate due to low mileage. Assuming it is in good condition
    Mortgage remaining: £42,260 of £77,000 (2.59% til 03/18 - 2.09% til 03/23)

    Savings target June 18 - £22,281.99 / £25,000

    That made me smile. £4600-£5000 p/x based on that trim and mileage.

    Made me laugh too! Reminded me of a lady who called the NTL broadband helpline about 10 years ago and she was asked by a colleague what windows she was using and she said "double glazing"!
