Struggling to sell me old car guys so far I have advertised on gumtree and a local forum and have had no response.
The car is a Vauxhall Astra 1.7 Diesel Design model 08 plate with 99660 on the clock FSH, 12 month MOT.
I have listed it for initially £1850 but after no response have just dropped this to £1650.
Do u think this is a reasonable price I'm asking or not?

Think you're optimistic on the price to be honest, there is a huge market of second or third hand cars for that price and couple that with likely work needed long term, VED etc... A quick look on ebay found a similar one with 27000 more miles for £1295 or a 1.9CDTi 150ps SRi for £1750 with 95000 miles
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Do a search on Autotrader, there's quite a selection of similar 08 diesel Astras for around £1500 or less====0 -
If you're struggling to sell it then its priced too high.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0
