I'd thought this was the perfect diesel passenger car. It seemed the perfect "wife's car" for biodiesel use - that is it is not a truck or a 4WD as most Australian diesels are, it is a normal passenger car.
I waited ages to find one appear on the 2nd hand market and eventually it did. We've had it a couple of years now, but my wife does not like the colour and she's got her eye on the new i30 (which has more cup holders).
I'll probably take a trade-in as it will make the changeover to the i30 easier, but I thought I'd put an offer in here if anyone wants a good biodiesel passenger car.
The red book values for the car (Peugeot 306 XTdt, 2000) are as follows:
Private Price Guide $7,300 - $9,000
Trade In Price Guide $5,000 - $6,700
Average Km 120,000 - 200,000
Price When New (RRP)* $29,900
It's a 1.9L direct injection (just before the new common rail, so possibly better for biodiesel) and it's got 99,000kms on the clock (quite low for its age). For the 2 years that it's been under my care, I've spent lots of time and effort fixing up any faults from the previous owner, so I'll be honest with any prospective buyer in here and not "do the dodgy".
The way I see it is that I'll get $5k or maybe $6k as a trade-in after much argument with a dealer (even though that is fairly within the red book value). If I were to try to sell it privately, I could get a couple of thousand more, but it's a lot more effort.
What I'm offering in here is a good reliable biodiesel capable car that you can get for a fair and honest price, say $6k. It's a Peugeot 306 with electric everything, climate control, airbags etc and it only does 5.8L/100kms, which even on dino-diesel is very economical. I've also got the workshop manual for it (Haynes) and a spare filter or two. (Here's the post from when I'd first bought it.)
The car is in North West Sydney, so PM me if you are interested, otherwise I'll just give it to a dealer for a trade-in and it will re-appear on the 2nd hand market for $10k from a dealer.
(I offered my old Land Rover Freelander to the forum users this way before I changed to my Mazda. No one took it, so it got traded in and a couple of weeks later, I got 3 people contact me who ended up having to pay much more on the normal 2nd hand market than the trade-in value that I was asking. So, don't wait too long before asking me this time, as I'll probably buy the i30 soon.)
