Parker’s guide price help

Options
Hello

I am looking to go view a 2008 car tomorrow but the mileage is super low for the year so I wanted the accurate Parker’s guide valuation with mileage. I wondered if anyone can help to save me a tenner in subscription! Can provide the reg and mileage in private message!

Thank you
I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

    Super low mileage would.make me walk away. Don't worry about the tenner.

    As Scrapit says, I would leave a super low mileage car alone. What car and what mileage? If iit'ss been driven around by an OAP to the local shops and back for 11 years, it won't be in good condition. I'd rather have a well serviced repmobil with high miles than a very low mile runabout used to drive just around the block.

    Thanks for the help! It’s a Peugeot 207, 2008 and the mileage is 30,000

  • that's not really super low for a town car. it adds about £500 to the value.

    A super low miileage car might be okay, but might not be.

    Comes with a completely different set of risks than an above mileage vehicle...ie the problems of underuse.

    All fine if you know that and go in with your eyes open.

    Biggest problem is, a lot of vendors think those problems of underuse make their car much more valuable than it actually is.

    12 year old Peugeot? Underused, (probably) overpriced, ?? electrical issues.

    I wouldn't bother....must be alternatives out there to look at in your price range.

    Does Parker's give values on 2008 cars?
