Selling tips

I have 60,000 km on the clock of my 2013 Kia Cerato and I would like to trade it in for a new Kia, but not sure how much would be a fair price. Can you help? My mother and sister are also keen to buy new Kia's and not sure how much to try and negotiate the car yard down to considering we want to purchase three new cars.

My husband and I want to purchase a new car to replace our 1994 dual-fuel VR Holden Commodore, which is starting to breakdown on a regular basis and is becoming unreliable.

We are not the sort who constantly upgrades cars and want to keep our new purchase for as long as possible. We like the Mazda 6 Touring but have also seriously been considering the Toyota Camry Ascent Sport Hybrid. My husband will mainly be driving it to work each day but we also want to use it on holidays in Victoria and also interstate. Our concern with the hybrid is will it, or its battery last as long as a traditional petrol vehicle.

What would you recommend for us?

What is a sensible price for a 1989 Toyota Supra that has done a genuine 60,000 km, and the main Toyota agent’s documentation confirms a full service history.

It drives like a new vehicle, there’s no record of re-birthing. It looks, drives and feels new.

I have a 2014 Holden Commodore SS-V with less than 30,000 km on the clock. If I hold onto it will the VF models increase in value in a few years, or should I sell now while it’s still worth decent money?

I’ve got a 1990 VN Group A Holden Commodore. I’ve had it for five-plus years. How much is it worth?

I currently have a 2012 Nissan Murano, which I'm likely to hold for another couple of years, but have started thinking about my next vehicle. I’m looking to downsize to a mid/small SUV, but electric. What are the options now, and where are the car companies headed in the future with this type of vehicle? Do you believe electric will be more mainstream within 2-3 years?

I would like some help on a sale price on my 2012/13 Ford Ranger auto Wildtrak. It has a few mods, including ARB front bull bar, upgraded front and rear suspension, rear view camera for caravan, towbar, Anderson plug, 12-pin tow connection, ARB central locking canopy with two lockable full length slide out storage drawers, 3-inch exhaust system, engine remap, secondary fuel filter, oil catch can, high-flow washable air cleaner, complete new Ford engine at 44,000 km. It has done 94,000 km, and as I am a motor mechanic I service the car every 10,000 km with new fuel and oil filters, transmission fluid change at 60,000 km. The condition is good.
