How much does my car worth?

I haven't made up my mind yet but I might be selling my car as i will move back to Greece.

I checked ebay and omg i am going to pull my hair out. I am going to get absolutely peanuts.

Laguna MK1 Ph2 2000 model 1.8 16v petrol.
113K miles but will get to 115 by then probably. There is some service history with it. Mostly the one that i kept from Renault Specialist.
I have spend about 1200 quid on servicing since i got it about 20 months ago and has been driven for 35K miles. All the major work has been done during servicing.

Fully synthetic Oil every 15K miles
Newish front discs and pads and sliders cleaned and greased
Rear brakes have been dismantled and cleaned
New midle section exhaust
Timing Belt kit (powergrip) 20-25K miles ago
NGK iridium Spark plugs ( i think or Denso iridium sorry i forgot)
K&N panel air filter
New tires 3000 miles ago
New steering arms
Rear left wheel bearing 8000 miles ago
New lower dogmount



Needs doing in the future

Waterpump as precaution
Auxiliary belts and tensioners
Service Oil/Oil filter/Sparkplugs
Rear Backbox

There are some dings around the car that happened before my ownership. The car drives without a fault and the only electrical problem occured was the heater resistor pack that was fixed by installing a new thermal fuse.

Thats ok, up until now I am the only one that clicked less than £100, so that kinda balances things out.....

So why do you have 'less than 100' in your poll?

Why fit £90 boots on an old car?

Have you tried your local Free ads paper?

You need to say how much tax and mot is on the car, that info is vital





As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

That's what I would term a short MOT.

If the car is mechanically sound then put a years ticket on it.

Spend 50 quid and it will add a couple of hundred (or more) to the value, plus loads more people will
come to view. (or bid if on eBay)

A good clean works wonders as well.


Just my opinion.

The car is spot on mechanically.

It is clean. Waxed every 3 months. There is a hairline crack about 1.5cm long that just started rusting underneath the color but it is not very obvious and this is the only rusty spot in the car.


It is not mint but it is not bad either.Normal wear and tear. That is the problem.
