How much to trade in my Astra?
How much roughly trade in for Opel Astra life sv 2008? Also I dented the driver door recently (nothing too bad but noticeable) I'm aware that this will devalue the car but my queried is will a dealer accept it as is for a trade in or would I be better off sourcing a replacement door beforehand
Our answer:
Hi Kathleen,
Your trade-in value is probably going to be around the €2,000 to €3,000 mark, depending on the history. It might well be worth getting the dent pulled and painted to improve on that a little, but I suspect it won’t make a huge difference. Have a chat with the dealer or dealers you’re interested in and see what they reckon. Some will be keener than others.
