WHAT’S MY 2008 Nissan Almera WORTH?

Getting a valuation for your Nissan Almera

When it comes to selling cars, we all know there’s an endless list of factors that can affect the value of the car. But here are some things you should take into consideration when you’re finding out what your 2008 Nissan Almera is worth.

Condition

Consider the condition of your car, of course different levels of damage are going to affect the resale value of your car. Obviously try to keep your car in the best condition you can. But when it comes to selling, be honest about any damage.

Mileage

Generally, the lower your mileage the better. But there are also calculations made by companies like AutoTrader that don’t just look at the total milage figure, but go into a little more detail and look at it against the average for it’s age and also the average for cars of this age currently for sale

Previous Owners

This is another key factor that affects the valuation of your 2008 Nissan Almera. the fewer owners that are on your V5C (log book) the better. If you have a really high number of previous owners, it could suggest to new buyers that there’s an issue with the car and therefore it keeps getting sold

Age

Being a 2008 model, your car will have lost a fair amount of its value from brand new. The highest drop in value typically happens in the first year of the car’s life. But do take into account that your car isn’t brand new and it’s value will reflect that. It’s useful to have a look on places like AutoTrader to see what similar cars to yours are being sold for.

Service History

This is a key factor to the valuation of your car. Buyers want to be confident that your car has been looked after during its life, so a full service history is very desirable and makes your car much more valuable and easy to sell. Sometimes buyers are also looking to buy cars that have full Manufacturer service history, in your case they’d want to know that you’ve taken it to Nissan for the services.

Other things to consider when selling a 2008 Nissan Almera

It’s also worth bearing in mind your options for selling your Almera, as there are various choices, each with their own benefits.

• Private Sale – this method of selling a car is often the preferred route, because it bring the highest chance of getting the most money for your car. Selling privately through websites like AutoTrader is quick and easy, just upload a few nice photos and write a couple of paragraphs about your fantastic car and let AutoTrader do the hard work of finding you customers. The down side to this form of selling is that it does involve some patience on your part, waiting to find a buyer for your Nissan Almera and being around for viewings.
• Part Exchange – This method of selling is probably the most simple, but likely to give you the lowest return for your car. If you’re buying a car from a trade seller, they may offer part exchange as one of the options. If they do you may find that you get less than expected for your car, but only you can decide what’s going to work best for your budget and needs.
• Sell to WeBuyAnyCar or similar – The final option is somewhere in between the two above in terms of how much your 2008 Nissan Almera is worth, because you’ll likely get more than part exchange but less than selling privately.
