To be fair the mileage is average although accepting no offers could be a showstopper

You wont get 5 grand for that, trust me, i tried, with a car 30k less milage. Book price on one of those is about 2.5k if that. You will be lucky to get 3k for it.

Oh and i would check your 0-62. not way is it 7.5secs. Try 8.5 and thats at a push.

Dont mean to sound harsh but thats the way it is. I was in the same position as you and the most i got offered was 2.5k so gave up and decided to keep it.

I thought the same chubbster.

7.5 secs is a bit fast unless it's been remapped. Mine does it 6.8 and thats a petrol with 200bhp. God knows where he got those figures from.

End of the day, as anything else, a car is only worth what people will pay.

Whilst we are willy waving, 6.3 seconds, 246 BHP.

However I am not much of a petrolhead, got those figures from the Parkers price guide thing.

good thing with pistonheads is they mask numbers, so the number on that advert isnt his actualy number (well it shuoldnt be) so that number will only be valid for the time the advert is open for.

Wasn't willy waving, just saying that the car advertised was a bit out in my opinion.

Chubbs I've got a skoda octavia. If you going for a remap shark are probably the best in the industry.
