I was thinking more like 4 :/

Dealers offered me 3500 last week so assumed another 500 would be about right maybe.. lol

Forget what they offer you mate, called Stealers for a reason!! Look at similar models on Autotrader/Pistonheads, sell it privately and pitch it accordingly. Good luck!!

Here you go mate, this is similar to yours at 4795. Seem to be quite a few floating around similar miles and age.

Do you have any pictures or more info?
I think you could quite easily get 4400-4700 quickly on Autotrader depending on spec and condition.

Not interested mate sorry, but I sold my 55 reg 3dr 2.0 TDI for £5900 a few months back so I think you should be aiming higher.

It's human nature to want something off... aim a little higher to anticipate this.  IF you really want it gone for 4k, get it up for £4,250 it will sell quick at that price. (but as others have said, it's worth a bit more).

^^ True.

Whether you advertise it at £3800 or £4800 you'll still attract the same phonecalls and tyre kickers offering you £3300.

Without even seeing it I bet if you put it on Autotrader for £4500 it'll go after a few days for very close to that (well worth the £45 fee).
