I sold my mazda 323 1.6A July-02 to a dealer at $43K, scrap value=36K, body value=$7K

 

 

 

with the price of $47,800, should be reasonable.

 

 

 

The dealer didnt make more alot unless he is getting the car back at close to paper value, for 2 years+ car, there is still some body value.

hi pal. the selling price looks reasonable.

 

i am driving june 03 protege auto. FC is abt 11-12. if switch off aircon and light footed, possible to get 13.

 

advice u to go down and look at the car physically.

are you driving manual ? mine.ex mazda 323, the best is at 11km/h at singapore..perhaps my driving style..

 

Anyway, 323 is good handling car,fun to drive..will not sell if the engine can give alittle punch more.

[Jazz]

yep, should be reasonable for a pt A to pt B car.

[Linus]

oh.. mine is auto.

 

yup, the engine lacks some punch. wat to do, the spec for this car in other countries is either 1.8 or 2.0. i think only in SG is 1.6. even HK gets a bigger engine than us.

 

yeah, handling is good. [thumbsup]

 

u member of HRF ah ? wats ur ride now ?

Well, the best offer I have for my Feb 03 Mazda 323 a month back when

I needed to sell it was

 

$39500 from a dealer.

 

AFter hunting around, decided not to stress myself, so did not change cars.

 

So if you think $47800 is a good buy, I will gladly sell it to

you for less.

 

Hunt around for owners selling, a better deal for all.

The price should be about right, but could be a little lower. Have you checked that it's indeed the sellig price and not the loan amount. Cos a lot of car ads don't reflect the actual selling price.
