i was thinking of changing the s/c so visited a few dealerships, now the prices im been offered on my 2005 s/c full history, 90k miles, are between 8.5 k and 9k.

does anyone have the same info as the dealers as to the prices, ive seen tdv6 of the same age selling for 15k on forecourts

Find this to be a good guide Tony.

Sounds like a typical markup, buy for 9k and sell for 15k. I don't like it anymore than you but they got overheads and warranty to cover. Evoque HSE Dynamic
5.0 Charger MY12

As I understand it the diesel will always be more popular used than a petrol so comparing a SC to a TDV6 isn't going to help

Try a few more dealers, look at autotrader, parkers, webuyanycar etc

Selling private will usually get you the best price if it's a good example  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I had a 4.5 year old x5 with less than 40k miles in great nivk. The miserable swine offered me 15k for it trade in against my new virtually book price my16. I put it on eBay and sold it for 21k. It was a mild hassle compared to handing it over to the dealer but pound for pound was the easiest 6k net pay I have ever earned. The people who came to view it were all reasonable and my ad made clear the price I wanted which discouraged traders. Can't recommend it highly enough.

cheers folks
