What are imports worth? Had enough and looking at Tigra's

Just wanted to know what you guys think my car should be worth, as Glasses etc don't consider imports:

Spec as follows:
1.6 S Moonstone
Alloys, with Cloth, no sports pack
25,000 miles
1 owner (me) from new
Imported with full UK spec from Belgium
Warranty (EU) runs out in Nov 2004, although you can extend for Â£200

I am really fed up with my car- after 2 years of squealing! Tried EBC Green Stuff pads, now just have a more expensive squeal.

Thinking of getting 1.4 Tigra Sport with Leather (HEATED SEATS!) and Sat Nav, Cruise Control and they have mp3 players unlike backward Peugeot!

Cheaper insurance, better mpg, no sqeaks..... bye bye pugs!

Sorry no idea how much it's worth but order the Tigra before 30th September and you'll get free air conditioning

maybe the tigra squeals too

Have you tried changing the brake discs too

As for resell value, don't mention it's an import until asked, you never know

I fully expect the Tigra to squeak, rattle and generally fall apart - I'm going to miss my reliable Corolla

When I part ex'd my cc the first question they asked was 'is it an import?'

It's illegal to discriminate against goods sourced from another EU member state.

Well its a done deal- only up to 12 weeks left of Peugeot ownership!

I was too lazy to change the discs, but frankly I have been thoroughly p**sed off with the way Peugeot have dealt with this. In my opinion head turning brake squeal is not a desirable feature of a new car and is a fault.

I guess the whole brake situation arose because Peugeot decided to cobble something together from bits of a Citreon xsara rather than do a proper job :rolleyes:

Here's hoping Vauxhall are more efficient & helpful

Think I was won over by the electronic boot and the fact that you can actually easily put stuff in the boot when the roof is down!
