Guys,

Looks like I may have to part company with my 260.

When I got her, I was in safe long term contract only 8 miles from home, which meant daily commute was cheap, and go go fun costs were all acceptable.
I got canned at end of January for being too good at job - go figure !

Anyway, means I may well now be travelling a lot further for work each day and the practicality is i'm going to need something much more economic to run (read diesel)

I don't really have any spare money to add to the car, which means i'm looking for something in same price region.

I'm not sure wether to private sale the car for cold hard cash, part-ex to a dealer or buy something brand new, again part ex-ing in.
My thought was it would be difficult to part-ex to same value, as it's not really in dealer's interest.

If I private sale etc, or for that matter dealer part-ex, any suggestions on value and best way to proceed.

She's a Starlight Silver SE with 13,100 miles on her. Full MGR dealer service history. Excellent tyres, all standard refinements. Currently also has xpower backboxes on, and an Accufab TB (yes i know if it goes to a dealer i'll remove as won't add any value). Also got lightly tinted windows professionally done.

I'll be gutted to let her go, but I think it really is on the cards if it's remotely viable.
I got her at a good price, so hopefully this will mean i won't of lost too much in depreciation.

Thoughts please guys ?

Cheers
G
