Transit price?

[jamesd]

I've been thinking about selling my current transit and buying a newer/lower mileage one. But just wandered what the value of my current one would be. I know if i part exchanged it I would not get much so thinking of selling it privately.

Its a 56plate t350 transit tipper with 117000 on the clock what do you reckon i should aim to sell it for? it doesn't have high sides its just the standard pick up bed on the back of it as well.

If its running fine then why sell it...newer models look like they are made of cheese

Mainly due to the mileage we rack up in a year... whats wrongs with the new ones then?

Been looking at getting a 13/14 plate (not the brand new ones with the new style front)

That's no mileage for a transit,keep on top of servicing job done.

From what i have seen of the brand new ones flimsy plastic everywhere, everything is electric, they look too good to use as a work vehicle. i reckon less is better with a work van it drives to site does the job then drives back. ive seen transits with 200 thousand on the clock and still going.

Mines just run in with 200k miles on it

No idea re price but I think some modern vans/trucks look fragile & overblinged appearing 'unworkmanlike'. No doubt just an unfounded observation.

6 speed 08 nice to drive though.clean 05s hard to find, 3.7k maybe?

what year is your one then? had any problems/issues with it?

Depends on spec and condition.

Go on autotrader and see what comparable vans are up for and go with that.

If you think it's going to start to let you down and more miles will dramatically reduce its value, selling now seems sensible to me.
