Is this car really worth £3000 more?

Negotiator

So I've been looking at a car lately that has what I been looking for. Silver, low mileage, the ones Ive seen fetch on average £11,500 ish on 25,000 miles. Ive just found another one that is 6 months newer, also silver but is at 12,500 miles. The asking price is £3000 higher. The car when new was about £19,000 I think. Do you think the £3000 extra is too steep, for the difference between the cars. I am interested in it but only if I can haggle some money off it. Would £12,999 be fair?

What car is it? Obviously if they have dropped so much so soon, they will drop at a smilar rate for prevously owned, but getting a car is not just about the loss in value as you are getting use and enjoyment out of it whilst the value reduces.

Without knowing the car or seller we just don't know. In fact, even knowing this, the cars age and service history it would be hard to say

You're looking to pay WAY too much. Here's a silver car that has only done 7,300 miles for just £1,490!

Well at least you know its going to lose £3000 in the next 6 months...

Thats more than my car cost to run in the last 4 years.. Purchase/servicing/mots etc. Not inc fuel and insurance.
