I only have a year old guide - but a year ago it would have been worth - trade 'showroom' value ( 10 k miles p.a. ) = 2650 - private sale in good order ( also 10k miles p.a. ) = 2310 - private sale in undocumented condition ( no service history - below avg condition ) = 905. 'Trade in' value typically 1380. Adjust all figures for mileage > 10k p.a. Beware of all undocumented claims about mileage. If there's no service history to verify, then consider the mileage false. IT almost certainly will be. Something like 20% of all cars in the UK have false odometer readings IIRC. Graham
