Low trade in prices and stupid offers on eBay

[Captjack 25]

Trying to sell the wife’s car, advertise on autotrader, just getting stupid offers, as low as £16500, highest £17250,  it’s a 2018 R estates, 40000, good condition, just had full service and mot. Best I’ve managed from a main dealer is £18000 against a 2020 estate with 900 miles.

Mileage maybe?  Out of curiosity I put mine into Motorway and got £24947 back, and Autotr#der suggesting a further £600:for a private sale advert.    Don’t think I’ll be selling mine for a while yet.

Isn't January a bad time to try and sell cars after xmas when potential purchasers have less money.

Also in the middle of a national lock down.  🤔

Yes I guess so, but she does a lot of miles and it’s a good price for the 900 miler, longer I keep it the more miles, less price etc

I put my info into evans hallshaw to buy off me.Came out at upto £18,500 for a 66plate manual with 16,700 miles.

That does seem low.  Put mine into a few online ones over last 2 weeks - WBAC £15,700; Carwow £16,112; Evans Halshaw £15,600; Motorway £16,250; and Autotrader £17,000 (for private sale).  That’s a 65 plate 5dr DSG Hatch on 37k miles.

Pistonheads  Guru came back with a price of £23800 for my lease so I could buy it and flip it but just do not have the time to sit on it atm.

Soooner someone else has it at the reduced price and doesn’t have to pay stealer prices.

Just looked at evans halshaw, £17185

 

I’m guessing it’s the miles

You've said in the ebay advert that you're selling because you need a bigger car. Is a 2020 estate bigger than a 2018 model?

Similar here. Mines a year newer than the OP’s car but 13k miles and WBAC is £24k.

 

Must be his mileage killing the value.
