Yeah but you say it as if trade in is the only option. You could sell privately...

I can't be doing with splitting it down as I'd need to essentially drop the car off and drive away in a new one.

Wisebuyers = £891
Parker's guide = £625
also try
http://www.carspotter.co.uk/
and
http://www.cartextcheck.co.uk/
gives you some ammo to hit them with, if they pitch at £400 say then yo can offer evidence that it is worth somewhere between £630 and £900 (on figures i found) and you'd appreciate a matching offer....
hope that helps?

My sister got £1000 for her W reg 1.2 8v recently as a private sale. Only 60,000 miles though, but still.
See what they say. All three times I've bought a car from a dealer with a part-ex the dealer has asked me what I expect to get, so I just push it.
When I traded my X reg 12v corsa in a few years back I said I wanted £2200 for it. The bloke offered £1800 which I was over the moon with.
Basically, if you get asked, say a grand. If they offer £500 you're happy, any more you're laughing.

The only real selling point for my car is the fact its only done 63k in 11 years

Deano, if they ask how much you're looking for say £750 and they may meet you somewhere.
When trading in the Golf the first garage offered £4k but the second dealer offered me £4.5k because thats what i said i was hoping for from a dealer part ex. Worth a try mate
