It really comes down to the condition. If it is in pristine condition it could be worth $15,000 to $20,000, if it's a bit rough $5000-$10,000. But at the end of the day it's worth what someone else will pay for it.
None of the above. It's the Volkswagen Polo, which recently had a significant price cut, that gets The Tick from me.
Our price guide puts the value of a 2001 Astra at between $1500 and $3500, which means you are trying to sell your car at the high end of the range. To achieve your price you would have to repair the air-conditioning, so it's worth spending the money. Air is an expected feature today and the value of a car with an air-con that's not working would be most unappealing. If you don't fix it I would put the value at around $1000-$1500.
I would first question the need to do some of the work he is saying is urgent, and would suggest you have another mechanic check the car for you. If you are in the RACQ you could have them check it for you, at least to give some peace of mind.
The negatives are in comparison with its classy rivals, including the Kia Sportage and Hyundai ix35 that - as with the Captiva - come from Korea. I've had readers complaining about quality and mechanical problems but the main shortcoming is basically its performance against the rivals.
