Remember it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The $1 reserve is probably a good starting point.

Some bright colours.
If that were the case, everyone would max bid $1, lol.
Are the other auctions getting many bites! Start with $5000, reserve $6000 and go from there. But it all depends on how much you're wanting.

But that does not mean market value does it!
IF you COULD $1 reserve the same car 10 times within 10 days you would get 10 completely different figures.

LOL, i'm not a fan of .shall we say 'boring' colours.

It is a near 20 year old 300,000+kms Commodore, at least it is a ute which tends to hold its value a bit better due to its commercial nature. The paint job may not appeal to everyone, at least that green is a bit more tasteful than the burnt orange which looks out of place on that BMW.
I would have figured around $4000-5000 to be honest.

The ks = low, the manual to the right person = a small price premium. Tricky.

The reason i'm thinking of flicking it is i've upgraded the shop ute and thinking 'bout getting a later model Commodore wagon for SWMBO (she who must be obeyed).

That's what i was thinking to trog', floorshift manuals aren't too common.

I just figured someone who is going to be spending $7k+ on a 2WD ute is going to want something later model, and perhaps even more durable.

I sold mine about 2 years ago, not as 'pretty'as yours (white, Tridents, 5 speed man floor shift, HSV kit & sideskirts,buckets etc etc), for 5k, took 3 times on here to get the 1 bid that took it away yet have seen utes a lot worse go for more. Depends on who's out there at the time

Have a look in the expired auctions, there maybe the odd one. Haven't looked myself but yeah, good luck selling it.

yea go with phillip. Nothing worse that waiting too long to sell something. just get rid. A few dollars her or there means nothing in the end.

What I would do - set it as a classified, with the offer price being what you want for it - this way theres room for bargaining without you risking the chance of letting it go to cheaply.
Only downside is that in my experience they tend to take a bit longer to sell.

Hi, I like your car however I am offshore working on an oil rig, I will pay by paypal.
I hate selling cars

Anything more than 4K and you are winning.
I bought a newer 740 for that with 1/2 the kms on soo.
Its a buyers market. If it had a V8 well you would probably get 6K +

And the relevant comparison would be!
I've had 13 BMWs now and i know they are worth nothing.
The last 7 series i had was a E38 750iL, V12 with 89,000km sold for $8500.

You can get a lot for your buck these days. Not knocking your ute. Choices today are rather varied. $4K + can get you a very decent vehicle.
Like I said, if it was an 8 someone would snap it up in 5 secs

id say 3-5k

Oh i totally agree mate, that's why we will be sticking to Commodores for shop ute & the 2nd family car, otherwise it'd take me months to decide what to buy LOL.

$4000's about my idea of what its worth.

I'm sure you're now completely clear on the for sale price now attitudedesignz

AD--as descriibed I'd say its worth 3-4k. My advice to you would be to paint the door shuts andthe front fenders under the bonnet. It sounds silly but that work I feel will get you closer to 4k
magicmat,

Personally wouldnt touch it due to the 300k on the clock. In saying that its not a bad looking ute for its age and if I was looking for something like this I would be looking at 3k ish price.

true, that would be a big turn off for me. One of the reasons I dont think it will fetch anymore than 4k.
