Just got a new job which will includes a company car (not a roc :( )
How much do you all think i should be selling the car for ?
The car is a 2009 59, registered on 29/10/09
The car has less than 3k on the clock.
It has the latest steering wheel & the white display.
The air con dials are the old style not the new piano black ones.
Car is in immaculate condition, no stone chips from what i can see.
I'am the one that takes 2 spaces in a supermarket, so no dints. :clap:

Hmm, you've got quite a few options!
To be honest, I'm not sure how much those retrofit options will add to the value of your car 2nd hand - though the general answer will be hardly anything :(
If you want maximum return, I'd sell the options separately where possible.
I'm sure you'll get decent money if you sold the RNS510 here or on ebay - should fetch a good many hundred quid.
The cover cup holder should sell on here to someone for a good few bob, but be worth zero if sold with the car. Ditto, sill protectors etc.

Then sell the car as close to standard spec as possible. That way I guess you may fetch something like 22k + whatever you sell the retrofit extras for...

I would agree but mostly cause I'd be interested in the covered cup holder, even though I don't have my car yet..
Although you would get a lot more for the rns510 if sold separately it depends if you still have the rcd510 it came with, if not I don't know if it would be worth it..

Not sure, but I ordered mine factory fitted, and somehow I ended up with a retrofitted one from the dealer, so it seems some dealers are/were doing it!

Is the clapping to signify that you're taking the pee out of yourself? If not, you should at least have a word. That's ridiculous behaviour!

Keep the car and ask for a car allowance instead of the company car? Or does the new job involve a high mileage that doesn't make it worthwhile using your own vehicle? With the recent price and VAT increases and the demand for the roc you should be in a good position if you have to sell to get most / all of your money back. Would also agree with the others regarding removing and selling any 'extras'. Any factory / dealer fit extras help with the saleability of a second hand vehicle but unfortunately add little to the value. So if you can easily remove some and put the car to standard spec and sell on here / elsewhere then it should maximise your return.
