What it is worth, and where those numbers come from
Advertised £2,250 above the asking price 30.4%
Where these numbers come from
Even the bottom quarter of the market asks £1,245 more than this car. Nothing measured here says you would lose money on it. What is unmeasured is whether the car is what the advert says.
No achieved sale prices. eBay only shows sold prices to a signed in session: run npm run ebay:login once.
Resale, from live listings
- £7,400 Auto Trader asking prices
- £6,495 eBay listings every mileage, not just cars like this one
The floor
- £6,395 bottom quarter of cars like this one three in four comparable cars at this mileage are advertised above this, out of 11 counted
The buying rule
Against Auto Trader asking prices alone at £7,400, this car is 30.4% under, and the rule is 20% or more under. It qualifies. That figure uses one source on purpose, because it is the market this car would be resold into.
What the seller wrote
2016 Volkswagen Polo Only 2 previous owners, £20 annual road tax, 60mpg, front and rear parking sensors, 2 keys, MOT to Aug 27 (advisories have been sorted). Last serviced April 26. We purchased the car in March 2024 as a first car for our daughter, it had sustained minor damage to the passenger rear door (see photos), we had the damaged door replaced and the scrape repaired at a reputable local body shop. The car is registered as CAT S. It has been a brilliant car with no issues, only selling due to her University! [the advert mentions a write off category]
