How much does it cost?

Free! I provide an obligation free quote and should you choose to sell the car to me, I arrange everything, including complimentary pick-up.

Do I have to accept the valuation given by Adam?

Your valuation is obligation-free. There is also no obligation to sell.

What type of cars do you buy?

We buy all sorts of cars, from small cars to luxury brands like Maserati. Low kilometer, later model cars are preferred.

What if I have an old car?

Some cars are unsuitable if that is the case, we can let you know when we speak so as not to waste your time.

Do you purchase cars from everywhere in Australia?

Yes we do, but our primary service area is Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern Rivers regions.

How long before I receive payment for my car?

OSKO payments go through almost instantly. We generally suggest allowing 24 hours for payments to go through, once we have agreed a price and completed the paperwork.

How can I get my car ready for sale?

A well presented car is always a good idea. If it is not possible, no problem – we can sort it out. :)

You’re listening to 4CRB’s Interviews and Talkback series “What’s Your Car Worth” is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. And a very warm welcome to you on this Tuesday here at 89. 3. It’s time now for What’s Your Car Worth? And with me in the studio, as usual, is Adam Hall, the man with the magic mind.

Good morning, Wayne. Welcome back to you as well. It’s good to be back again as well. And to you, our listeners, you’re invited to call us right now on 5520 8888 because unlike other of our talkback programs where you’ve got to listen to what the topic is, you know what the topic is. The topic is all about you and your car.

And if you’re thinking of selling your car, gee, the way the share market went overnight, I think that. A few, a few cars being sold this time. A little bit scary. It is a scary thought. But if you’re thinking of selling your car, downsizing your car, getting an insurance cover quoted to you for your car, now is the time to ring Adam Hall.

He’ll give you a real time valuation, as distinct from what you’ve got available on the websites and in the books that are on car values. There’s a lag time for them to catch up. There is, it’s, uh, it’s fairly substantial at the moment because it has moved, the market has moved a lot, particularly this year, and a lot of, as you say, a lot of those publications they’re well behind at least six months, so it’s, uh, there is a big gap in pricing.

Yes. And it might sound like a broken record because we’ve been talking about this way to introing our program, uh, this year is talking about the volatility, but that volatility is there and it gets complicated with high demand or low demand. And all of those issues are constant within the market. So you get the right price to start with, and then you can get into it.

In on to doing what you want to do with the cash and getting a new car. It’s wonderful to buy a new car. I just love it. Absolutely. All right. 55208888 is the number for you to call right now. All our lines are free and we are waiting for you. All right, Adam. Well, we wait for that first call. A bit of a market update.

Yes. Propulsions aren’t in this week. It is, actually. Oh, have you got the propulsions? I’ve got it in now. I did it I missed them over the last two weeks. I did it especially for you. Alright. So this is the, uh, July market update. Yes. Uh, for, for new car sales. Uh, there were 99, 486, uh, total sales for July, which was up.

just slightly on last year, 2. 7%. So those rises or increases are really starting to come back now. Yes. Um, so that’s, uh, it’s about 20, 000 less cars that were sold in June. Uh, but June is traditionally the biggest month of the year. Yes. So, uh, not a bad result. Uh, but a lot of those, again, a lot of those orders that have been outstanding.

The back orders. Yeah. Uh, so that’s, that’s contributing to the total. Should we take, um, maybe DE’s call first and then we’ll keep going with our update. I know. Keep him waiting. Why don’t we take DE’s first call and then as the first call after . Good morning, Des. Good morning, Des. Oh, good day, Adam. Uh, it’s Dez here.

How can I help you? Des? I have a, um, I have a, uh, a 2022 Ford Ranger four by four. It’s an XLT, 3.2 liter, um, diesel. It’s done 36. 36,000 k. It’s white, uh, and the extras are a tow bar, it’s got a wild track grill, and a wild track wheels. Hmm, okay. Sounds like a very nice vehicle. So it’s a, so I’m assuming it’s the last, last of the previous shape, being the 3.

2 litre. Yes, it is, yes. So it’s a PX, PX Mark 3 it should be? Uh, PU. It says PU. Okay. Uh, okay, alright, and it’s a 3. 2. Uh, alright, and sorry, what colour did you say it is, Des? It’s, um, white. White in colour, alright. Mm hmm. Alright, uh, so being the current shape, uh, and it’s got, did you say 36, 000? 36, 000. 36, 000.

36, 000. Alright. Um, I’ve got a little bit of confusion over the, over the shape of it, so I’m just going to give you, I’m going to give you two prices. Um, the first is the brand, so is it the current model that you see, you Yeah, they’re in new car showrooms now or is it the previous, previous shape? No, I think it’s the same shape.

Same shape as the new one. Okay. All right. All right. That gives me a good picture now. All right. Uh, so 2022, 36, 000. Would you like a private sale price as well as a trade figure? Uh, no, just a private sale. Private sale. All right. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one, uh, privately, uh, you should be expecting in the really late 50s.

So around that 58 to 59. Oh, that’s, that’s, that’s pretty good. Hmm. That’s excellent. Alright. That’s, that’s an excellent price. Yeah. Alright. That’s for a private sale. Would you, would you be interested in an atom? I’d be interested, but not at a, obviously at a private sale price. But we can talk about that at another, another time if you like.

But, uh, I hope that, that information helps you and we’ll take it from there. Yes, it does. So, uh, do you have my phone number or no? I don’t. So, uh, I’ll give you my number. Uh, uh, my number is 0404 290 617. Yep. Yep. Okay. That’s good, Adam. very much. Okay. Thank you, Des. Okay. Yes. Thank you, Des. And it’s a good segue for me just to remind our listeners, and we haven’t done it for a while, that the figures that Adam does give you in your evaluation on insurance purposes or Centrelink and for trade in or private sale, they are estimate figures because there’s nothing like seeing the car, obviously, so you, you’re getting a start figure for you to follow up, which whatever way you would like to sell your car.

That’s the purpose of our program. And generally speaking, though, we’ve got a 99. 9 percent success rate over five years. Forty years. Forty years! I don’t know about that. That’s, that’s a pretty good record! Very good! That’s a good record. Okay, we’ll get back to the market update then. Alright, uh, so I, I touched on the total uh, number of sales.

Yes. Uh, once again, Toyota, 5, 000. Uh, finish number one, uh, they’re going really well at the moment, uh, and that’s that they’ve got the supply of those in demand cars that they couldn’t supply for such a long time. Yes. So they, uh, in number one spot, uh, 22, 705, uh, so it’s a, it’s a very big market share when you consider all the different models that they’ve got out there.

Uh, then Mazda got back into the second spot, uh, which Ford has been beating them a few months of this year. Uh, they were 8, 476, uh, Ford was in third spot with 7, 749, uh, they were up 9%. Uh, Kia, uh, going pretty well, 6, 620 in fourth spot. And then you’ve got, uh, uh, Hiyande at 6, 021. Uh, and then Mitsubishi, uh, in sixth spot.

Uh, MG, just thought I’d mention MG. They were out of the top 10 for the last couple of months. They’ve got back into the top 10. They’ve finished in seventh spot. Uh, some really big, uh, big names. Changes, uh, over the last couple of months, uh, electric cars have really stalled for sales. Um, where the market seems to be going, still going pretty well.

Uh, the Tesla in particular, uh, they had a drop of 34%, um, last month, that’s a, that’s a very big number. It’s a big number. Yeah. Yes. We’ll, uh, touch on that later. Uh, in terms of, uh, so we’ll go on to Tesla. We’ll start, we’ll do the models first. And just quickly with the Tesla figure, there could be a correction, simply a correction rather than anything serious.

But we can talk about it after, when we get to the electric figure. Yeah, we’ll do that. Alright. So the models in terms of, so the individual models and how they sold. The RAV4 finished number one. So those hybrid cars going so well. RAV’s pretty good. been very popular with that 5, 933 of those that are up 116 percent on last year.

So that’s a, that’s a very big number. That is a big number. Uh, the Ford Ranger finished in second spot with 4, 915. That was up 9%. Uh, the Toyota Hilux, um, consistently behind the Ranger now. So, uh, I think that. Finishing number one last year for Ford Ranger was a, was a really good thing. A smart move, yes.

Yep. Watch out. Yes. You never know. Uh, Hilux four seven, four thousand seven hundred and forty seven, uh, another Toyota in fourth spot, the Toyota Corolla, and then the Isuzu D Max, uh, was two thousand three hundred and sixty nine. Hmm. So there we go. What a line up. uh, in those figures. And um, uh, you can call us now.

Yes, why don’t you get on the phone right now, 5520 888 for a valuation on your motor car. This is your program, so uh, we don’t leave it till the end. That number is 5520 888. And uh, maybe you want to get a, maybe you’re looking for a car out there, out there at the present time, and you’re not sure of what type How much money you should be, uh, expecting to pay.

Adam can give you an indicator on that. So there’s another reason to call us on 55208888. Just before the program, we were talking about, uh, manufacturers and how clever, uh, the, the Toyota company have been over the, uh, The years from COVID through to now, uh, they’ve, they’ve stayed calm. They’ve only done little tweaks to their, to their strategy.

And there hasn’t been the major, uh, announcements that some of the other manufacturers decided to do like fixed pricing for luxury luxury car and no negotiations to the extreme of buying an electric car, come into the showroom and you look at a picture. plan for building your car and there’s no sales people around at all to discuss it.

That’s right. They’re trying to change how people buy their car and how they will be delivered and how the cars will be sold. The one thing about Toyota is that they never reinvent the wheel. That’s not what they’re about. Yes. Whereas a lot of the other manufacturers out there, they’re trying to play catch up and trying to come up with these crazy ideas to try and.

Uh, sell more vehicles and become number one, but, uh, Toyota, they just seem to make a long term plan, uh, small incremental, uh, improvements to their business. They don’t always get it right, but, uh, making, uh, Making major moves like some of these other manufacturers have, uh, it can be, it’s like placing a bet.

Yes. And, uh, and a lot of the time it can go wrong. Yes, and, uh, with that, you’ve well stretched, Adam. We’ll go to our next caller. We’ve got Debbie on the line. Good morning, Debbie. Hi, how are you? Very well, How can I help you? Yes, I have, um, my husband’s recently passed away and I have a Oh, I’m sorry. Uh, 350Z.

Um, Nissan Coupe, uh, that I want to sell. Um, it’s a two thousand and, uh, six model. It’s been garaged, one owner, he’s the only owner. Um, and it’s got 89, 000 kilometers on it, in good, very good condition. All right. Garaged all the time. Okay. Serviced regularly. Uh, Debbie, do you know whether it’s the, uh, there’s, there were two models, there was the track model, which was, uh, uh, the track model.

No, it’s not a track. Not a track, okay. No, it’s not a track. Not a track. It’s a tourer. Ah, it’s a tourer? Okay, and, and it’s not a convertible either? Just a coupe? No, no. Okay. Alright, and is it automatic or manual? It’s automatic, but it’s got the paddles. Yeah, paddle shift. Um, where you can drive it, yeah. Okay.

Well, it’s got very low kilometres for, for the age. Um, normally what I’m seeing, uh, with those is, sort of, 150 to 200, 000 kilometres. So, it, it will be worth more than the average. Um, the average one of those So, if it’s his baby, aww. Yeah, yeah, yeah, hang down. He was a car man, and, well, when I say that, he valued nice cars, driving cars, and used to race cars, so, yeah, he always looked after it.

Very well maintained. Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a nice car. And what colour is it, Debbie? It’s, uh, it’s a dark silver. Ah, yes, I know the colour. Alright. Not the light silver, but, yeah. Alright. Okay, so it’s, the average one of those now is probably selling for around that sort of, eight to ten thousand dollar range but because this has got such low kilometers i think you’ve got to be asking a fair bit more um i would think uh somewhere around that sort of 12 to 13 range is probably the right price to ask all right all right okay yeah thanks very much you’re welcome debbie thank you bye bye all right we’ve got alan on the line good morning alan uh good morning how can i help you i have a sorry how can i help you alan I have, I have a white Kia Stonic Sport, um, built December 21 in my 2.

2 model. Uh, had the Duco treatment and the, uh, Window tinting. All right, so it’s, it’s done 27 620 7,600 kilometers. 27, 600. All right. Uh, and sorry, did you say it was white in color or did I miss that? White in color. All right. White in color? No. White. Yeah. All right. And, and it’s the sport, uh, 2021, but MY 22.

Now, would you like a, a private sale figure as well as a trade figure, Alan? Yes, please. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one, um, privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 25, 000 to 26, 000 for it, uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about, uh, around 3, 000 less than that.

Right, around 3, 000. That’s right. Alright. Okay, thanks very much. You’re welcome. Appreciate it. Thank you, Alan. Appreciate your call. Yes, thank you, Alan. And all our lines are now free. 55208888 is the number for you to get a valuation on your motor car this morning. And it’s 20 minutes past 10. We’ll just go to a short break and be right back.

Log on to adamhallbuymycar. com. au or call 0404 290 617. Yes, and right now you can call 5520 8888 for that important valuation on your motor car. Probably you’ve just been hesitating since we started at 10 o’clock and deciding and having a debate about should we or shouldn’t we.

Why don’t you do it? At least get a valuation and know what your car is worth. That big, big city in the garage in particular. 5520 8888’s the number. Why don’t you do it right now? Okay, Adam, we’ll get to that. Back to, um, market update. Have you completed your market update? No. ’cause I haven’t done, oh, we haven’t done propulsion yet.

Props yet. Yet. Oh my goodness. Gracious me. . It’s a pretty important part of the market now because this is where the big shift is happening. So, but a lot of people are asking me about this. Um, yes. So. Propulsion means what sort of engine, uh, pushes the car along. Yes. Uh, so, uh, the petrol is still going very well, still number one.

Uh, 42, 027 of those. But probably the biggest, um, like significant decline that I’ve seen in recent times, is a down 12. 9 percent last month, uh, the diesel vehicles, uh, 29, 263, that was up 5. 3%, and that’s normally on the back of, um, your more commercial vehicles like your utes and vans and that sort of thing, they’re still, getting around in diesels.

A hybrid, uh, every month is now the big mover. Uh, 18, 039 hybrids, and I would suggest that’s what’s taking, uh, the market away from, from petrol only. Yeah, from, from electric. So they’re up 88. 4%, uh, last month. Gee, that is a big, big number. It’s a really big number. Uh, so now we go down to electric car sales, which you would expect with, with such new technology and people really.

starting to embrace it, uh, that we’d see a big move there, but it’s been the opposite. Um, the electric, there was 6, 743, um, which was a decline of 1. 5%. So, yes. And you know, what’s happening is what we spoke about. It was even last year, all the times since electric became, uh, uh, such a, challenge to the market, uh, for governments to stay out of it and let the market, and this is exactly what we’re seeing now, I believe.

It’s a full correction of the market, and government, because governments have backed off now. They’ve changed their predictions on, uh, on electric vehicles, uh, there’s changes to the, uh, the industry itself, and so the market is now deciding, and this is why we’re seeing a, you know, a couple of casualties there.

And manufacturers are now, uh, they’re now reallocating their Research and development funds back into combustion engines as well. Of course. Yes. It’s the way to go. Okay. All right We’ve got Steve on the line. Good morning, Steve Very well, thank you. How can I help you?

Ford XR six. Turbo. Turbo. All right. What year model is it? I’m pretty sure it’s a 2012, but it may be 2013. All right. 2012 or 13? Uh, so XR six Turbo. And it’s a sedan, not a ute. No sedan. Okay. And is it manual or automatic? Uh, auto. Auto. And how many kilometers has it traveled? Uh, about 200, I think 200,000. Is this a a car that you’re looking at buying or is it No, it’s, it’s my partner’s actually.

Ah, I see. Okay. Alright, and, and what color is it, Steve? It’s a, I think it’s a, it’s like a gold orange. Oh, I know the colour. Yeah, I know the colour. Alright. It’s got the, the XR badging on the seats and all that. Yeah, okay. Look, the, the turbos are the cars that, uh, they’re turbocharged. Sort of tend to hold their value pretty well as well as the XR 8’s The 200, 000 kilometers makes it a little bit tricky for like collectors and that sort of thing So there’s a limit to what it’s worth.

I think as a private sale for something like that I would be suggesting in the sort of early to mid 20s around that sort of 23 to 25 mark So I’ll be trying to ask for it. Oh yeah, that’s more than I expected, that’s for sure. Yeah, it’s, look, it’s, uh, It’s Yeah, sure. Keep going. Yeah, it is a rough estimate because, and I think it’s probably one of those ones because there’s not a lot around, it’s worth trying to get extra money, um, but uh, like if that was a, let’s say that was a normal XR6, that’s probably worth, it’d be worth less than half that.

It’s incredible, isn’t it? Isn’t it? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That’s what other people have told me, and that’s what I’ve sort of seen them anywhere between 20 And 30, 000 I suppose. Yeah, yeah. Um, so it’s, it’s well, it’s well looked after but also well driven. Um, there’s a few, little scratches on it from car parks and like trolleys and that.

Yeah. It was that catch 22 where we’re thinking whether we fix those for a couple of thousand or just put 20 on it and be happy to get that for it. Yeah look if you look sometimes waiting and trying to get a Do all those bits and pieces, um, it can be pretty costly and then you miss the market as well, so if you’re happy to sort of drop it for a little bit lower, um, I’m sure there’s somebody out there that would probably, um, happy to fiddle around with it and spend a little bit of money to get it right.

Yeah, cause even the, the ones I’ve seen that are, like, There’s not many around for even 20, they’re mainly going for the 25 and that, so I thought if I put 20 on it, as is, we’ll see what happens. Yeah, it should go well. Alright, well thanks for your call, Steve. Appreciate it. Yeah, nice talking to you, have a good day.

Thank you, same to you. Alright, we’ve got John on the line. Good morning, John. Uh, Don. Yes, this is John. Uh, Adam, I would just like to, uh, run through with you. We’ve got a land cruise, the station wagon. It’s done 325,000. Uh, the automatic, it’s 2002 model, uh, turbo. The color is a light blue. It was rust treated when it was purchased, uh, and the gear goes in as good as new.

But I’d like, uh, for insurance purposes, a value. Alright, uh, so it’s a 100 Series Land Cruiser, so it’s a turbo diesel, uh, I’m assuming? Uh, that’s right. And so 325, 000. Is it the GXL, John, or? Or Sahara? Yes, it is. Ah, GXL? Alright. Okay. And condition overall, is it, is it pretty reasonable? It’s excellent. Alright.

Absolutely. Okay. Look, for insurance purposes, for that one, you want to allow a, a bit more because it’s not easy to find a good one out there. Um, I, but they have come back in value now, being 22 years old. I think for insurance purposes, uh, somewhere around that sort of 22 to 23 would be the right price.

Okay. Yeah, right. All right. Well, thanks very much for that. You’re welcome, John. I appreciate your call. Yep. Bye bye. Yes, thank you for your call, John. Okay, we’ve got about three minutes to go on our program, so get on the phone right now. You’ll get in, and we had Bill up there on my screen before. It’s dropped out.

Bill, if you’d like to give us a call back, we’ve got all our lines are free, and you’ll get on to Adam. 55208888 is the number. Okay, um, we, Touched on the, uh, on the Tesla. We started on our EV. I thought I’d talk about this. This is another thing that I think will affect, um, Tesla right now because there’s so, there’s so much negative press out there about the, uh, the company.

Uh, there’s been a recall of 35, 000 Teslas and it affects the Model 3 and the Model Y. Apparently it’s a manufacturing defect with the software that it will tell you that the bonnet is closed when it actually isn’t. So it’s The potential for an accident if you’re driving along. That’s a bad one. That’s a pretty bad one.

But it’s actually, so 35, 000 cars are affected in Australia, um, but 1. 85 million, uh, in the US. So it’s a very big number. It’s a big one and a dangerous one as well. It is. And before we close, we’ve got to talk about, because there’s been a lot of, uh, media coverage on the, the risk involved in, uh, and with high rise buildings, et cetera, on the risk of, um, full electric vehicles, um.

Uh, catching Fire. This is a, this report that’s happened, uh, whereabouts was it in? It was in South Korea. In South South Korea, just, uh, outside of, um, Seoul. Yeah. And, and it was a Mercedes-Benz. So, uh, and it was a, called the EQE, so the, like the eClass sedan, but the electric version, yes. Uh, and there was a, uh, it.

Caught fire in a basement apartment complex. Uh, and it caused damage, because they couldn’t put the fire out, it caused damage to 70 other vehicles. There were 16 people hospitalized and 480 households lost power. What devastation is that? That is amazing, isn’t it? So it’s a high risk and something authorities, I’m sure, are looking at at this present time.

Absolutely. To see that happen, uh, just from one car is just incredible. It’s frightening, yeah. Okay, Adam, well that’s it for our program this morning. If anyone has missed out and would like to contact you, your mobile number again? Yes, uh, 0404 290 617. Okay, mate. We’ll look forward to getting together again next Tuesday.

Transcript

You’re listening to 4CRB’s interviews and talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall, it’s the new, easy way to sell your car. It is the new, easy way to sell your car, but before you need to, before you do that, you need to have it valued, and Adam is in the studio this morning and ready, willing and able to do that for you.

Good morning, Colin. Good morning. How are you? Very well. That’s good. Great to be back. So Adam is here to value your car for trade, resale, insurance or Centrelink purposes. Have I missed anything? Or if you’re looking to go out and buy something and you’ve got something in mind, I’m happy to give some advice on what I think in terms of pricing and weather, whether it’s the right car to buy as well.

I’ve been getting a lot of those sorts of calls. Yes. Um, also if you’re looking to go to auction or something like that, that’s something to be very careful with, so we can talk about that as well. Well, we’ve got a lot to talk about this morning. 0755208888. Is the number for you to call this morning.

Please do not leave it till the end of the program. It gets very, very congested and we don’t want to say to you, I’m sorry. Call again next week. So 0755208888. So you’ve got some news on the industry for us. I’ve got a number of things here, but, uh, a bit of bad news at the moment, uh, is that, uh, car repossessions have, have really, uh, been surging in the last six months.

And this obviously comes down to the cost of living pressures. We’ve had interest rate rises over the last couple of years as well, so, um, but it’s, uh, it’s been a pretty sharp rise in the repossessions. It’s, uh, 13%. Yes. Which is, which is probably, um. A very high number. Pretty concerning really. One of the issues is that with the falling used car prices, one of the options that people would have was to refinance their car over a longer term so they weren’t paying as much per week for their car.

But now that the prices of used cars have fallen down, they don’t have the equity there to be able to go and refinance and they’re stuck with that. with that payment, which, uh, which is making it very difficult for people. Yeah, understandable. So, yes, and the tightness of the cost of living makes things very difficult.

Absolutely. We’ve got our first caller this morning. It is a very good morning to Ray. Ray, ask your question of Adam. Good morning, Ray. Oh, good morning, Adam. Uh, I’ve got a, um, a J. A. Picanto. Automatic. Um, it’s bill date is, um, December the 19th, and, uh, mileage 15, 889 kilometres. Right, okay. So it’s a 2019 model, is that correct?

Yeah, that’s right. Alright, and it’s got about 15, 000 kilometres on it. Yes. All right. And I, I just wanted a private sale and an insurance valuation if I could. Yeah, certainly I can do that for you. Well, it’s certainly got pretty low kilometers for a car that’s approaching five years old. Uh, yeah. So you’ve, you’ve done, um, I don’t use it all that much.

I understand. And, and what color is it, Ray? It’s Honey Bee, the bright yellow. Ah, the bright yellow. You certainly wouldn’t be missed on the road, that’s for sure. The old spot o. Yeah, it’s easy to find in the car park. Absolutely. Alright, so I’ll give you a private sale on insurance. It will be worth more than the average, because the average one’s probably got about 50 or 60, 000 kilometres on it.

I think if you were to sell it privately, ah, you should be asking around the 13. Yeah, probably 13, 000 now. Uh, and your insurance value is going to be a similar number, maybe try and, um, be a little bit higher than that, just to cover transfer costs or whatever. Yep, yep. Alright. Okay then, well thank you very much for that.

You’re welcome, Ray. I appreciate your call. Thank you, Ray. Alright, we’ve got our next caller now. We’ve got Meg on the line. Very good morning to Meg. Good morning, Meg. You there Meg? Can you hear us Meg? I think we lost her. Oh, hang on. I can see what’s happened here, somehow. Yes, I think we have lost her. We might continue on and we’ll see if we can get Meg back.

Just one second there Meg. Actually Are you there Meg? Can you hear us? No? No, we’ve lost Meg. We have. Alright. Well, we will endeavor to get her back, and, uh, we’ll go from there. Alright. Alright, continuing on our discussion, we were moving on to fixed price car makers. Well, we’ve been talking about this a lot over the last couple of years.

A couple of manufacturers in Australia now, uh, don’t have a dealership network anymore. They have what’s called agency. So, the. Uh, the manufacturers own the cars, so when you’re buying that car, you’re buying it from the manufacturer, not from the dealer. So it is a, it is a big change, but one of the, uh, one of the concerns that has been brought up is that, that, uh, if you have a, a legal issue with, um, let’s say you’ve got a problem with your car or, or something like that, uh, now you have to take on the manufacturer, not the, not the dealership.

Okay. So, it could be a, uh, the, uh, The term that’s been used is that it could be a David and Goliath type of battle if you’re, if you’re getting into that, uh, sort of thing, but I’ve sort of, uh, had a bit of think about that as well and I think that sometimes it could, uh, remove a layer that you have to go through as well.

Sure. To have, because sometimes the, dealer is the person that’s uh, or the, their, their, uh. talking on your behalf with the manufacturer to get, uh, get a resolution. But, uh, if you’re, if it takes out that layer, it may be easier as well. Yeah. And it, and, um, well, it’s going to be one of those things is a watch and act.

That’s right. All right. We’ve got Meg back. Let’s see how we go this time. Good morning to you, Meg. Ask your question of Adam. Good morning, Meg. Meg, hello? You there Meg? We’ve lost Meg again. Oh dear. We might have a problem with some calls this morning. Let’s just make sure all is okay. Yes, we’re all okay there Meg, if you can hear us.

Unfortunately, we don’t know where you’ve gone. Um, please try again and let’s see how we go. Alright, did we get to the end of the fixed part car? Yeah, so it’s, uh, as you, as you say, it’s something that we’ll have to wait and see how things, uh, how things go. Um, but it certainly is something that, uh, we have to, um, consider it a bit, it could be a problem down the track.

Sure, understand, understand indeed. Well, might very well be a blessing in disguise, you just don’t know. Who knows, who knows. Alright, MG have got a new vehicle on the cards. Well, it’s, uh, it’s nice to see this happening, uh, because it’s, uh, what MG brand is the original MG’s, which are a little, uh, sports car, a little convertible, and they’re finally going to, uh, release, uh, another car, which is, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, in keeping with what the original brand was about.

Uh, so they’re releasing an electric, uh, convertible. Uh, so not a, not a combustion engine, so that’s a little bit different. Uh, it’ll, it’ll go from zero to a hundred kilometers an hour in three point two seconds. It’s just So it throws you in the back of the seat? I don’t know if I’d want to be in the car, it’s going that quick, but it’s uh, uh, But, uh, the one factor that I think, uh, is what, what we’ve come to know MG as over the last few years is a value brand.

Yes. So when you’re looking at buying a new car with a good warranty, um, people that are looking for value, they go out to, to, they think of MG. Yes. And they’ve done a good job at, at changing, uh, what people think. of, of the brand. So now, uh, to go back to the sports car, and the sports car is going to be a whole lot more expensive than what we remember with MG.

Uh, it’s going to start at about 120, 000 on the road. Okay! Uh, and I think the top spec models is great. is going to be about 150, uh, so over the next couple of months, uh, you’ll be able to look at the cars. I think they’re doing a tour around Australia, but you can have a look on their website. It’s a pretty appealing car if you have a, have a look at it, but it won’t be at that sort of price.

Yes, that’s right, that’s exactly right. All right, if you would like to have your car valued for Uh, trade, resale, Centrelink or insurance purposes, 0755208888 is the number. We’ve got Meg back, we’ve rebooted our systems. Let’s see how we go. Good morning Meg, ask your question of Adam. Good morning Meg. Okay.

Good morning, Adam. so much for, I’m so happy we found you. Yeah, I just went in to change phones to see if that would make a difference. Adam, I’m looking after a private sale. Okay. A 2013 Pulsar Hatchback. Pulsar Hatch, okay. Red, automatic. Red, alright. And it’s the ST model, is it? Yeah. ST, alright. And it’s Yeah.

Adam, it was originally a thrifty renter car, so we bought it when it was three years old and it had 38, 000 on it. Alright. Um, yeah. How many has it got on it now? 80, 000. 80, 000. Alright. Oh, sorry, 81, 000. 81, 000. And look, Adam, it’s coming out for a 12 month service, and since the last 12 months it’s Has it really?

Gee, not a lot of kilometres at all. No, I don’t use it much anymore. Yeah, I just wanted to ask you this question, because it’s a common problem with these. Um, have you ever had a transmission replacement? No. No? Okay, alright, so it is a common issue with pulsars and a lot of people that are looking to buy one.

It is a question that I’ll ask is whether it’s had the transmission replaced, uh, because it’s nearly, uh, and I don’t want to put fear into you, but it’s, uh, nearly all of them fail at some point, uh, so, um, but I’ll give you a private cell value ignoring that, uh, so I think, uh, if you were to sell it privately, uh, the kilometers are pretty low for, uh, For the year, so it’s 11 years old and only 81, 000, so that’s pretty good.

Uh, I think you should be asking around the 9, 000 mark for it. Oh, okay. Oh, that’s good. That’s better than I would have thought. Yeah. Yeah. That’s an asking price, but again, it’s a challenging thing when, um, people, generally a lot of people know that there’s this transmission issue with them, and if the transmission has to be replaced, it’s somewhere between 4, 500 and 5, 000 to repair.

So, it’s a big repair. Alright. Thanks. Alrighty. Alright. Yep. Alright. Well, I hope that advice has helped you and I appreciate your call. Thank you, Meg. Have a good one. Same to you. Bye bye. Alright. But it’s a question, Adam. Uh, does purchasing an ex rent a car have any, uh, difference on resale later on down the track?

Uh, look, it’s, Yeah, it’s interesting that rental cars, uh, generally are a little bit lower in price. Uh, and the reason for that is that generally they’re, they’re the base model cars and there’s a big volume of them that come back into the market.

Right. So generally you’ll get better value for money. In terms of buying one, I certainly wouldn’t have any fear. No. Because they service them well. Um, They’re well looked after to a point. If you think about it, when every, when you go and rent a car, you take it back in, you fill it full of fuel, uh, they inspect the car every time it comes back, um, that’s normally not done with, with the average car.

So it’s, I’ve never really had many issues with ex rentals. There you go. Great. All right, we’ve got our next caller. It’s a very good morning to Andrew. Good morning, Andrew. I’ll ask you a question about him. Good morning, Andrew. Uh, good morning, gentlemen. I was just wondering if you’d give me a price on a LDD Cargo Van, it’s only got the two front seats, but it’s as new, a 2018 model and it’s got 35, 000km on it.

2018, alright. Uh, and is it automatic? No, it’s manual. It’s a manual one? Ok, so it’s just your normal short wheelbase van? Um, yeah, one ton van. One ton, alright. . Uh, and how many kilometers did you say? 35,000. It’s only personal use. I don’t use it for anything else. Okay. Alright. Uh, and would you like a private sale value as well as a trade value?

Oh yeah, that’ll be good, thank you. Alright. Um, they have come back a bit in price, but yours has definitely got very low kilometres, so that certainly helps. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 17, for it. Um, and if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about 2, 000 to 3, 000 less than that.

All right. Thanks very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Andrew. Thank you, Andrew. All right, if you’d like to have your car valued live on air by Adam, 55208888 is the number. Do not leave it too late. We’re in the final 10 minutes of the program. 07 if you’re out of the area. So RAV4 has had a milestone. I have, um, It’s a big one actually.

So, so RAV4 was released in Australia in 1994. It was actually July 1994. So we’re exactly on, uh, 30 years. Uh, and it’s been a really popular model over that time and probably increased in popularity as time has gone on as they’ve released, um, more models and more models that are probably, uh, more practical.

Yes. Uh, so, uh, they just re, uh, reached the 500, 000. Mark. Wow. So if you’re wondering why you see so many RAV4s around, uh, that’s why, because there’s 500, 000 being sold in Australia. So it’s an average, uh, of 16, 666 per year, but which has really risen over the last few years, particularly with their new hybrid engines and, and that.

Yes. Become a really popular vehicle. When they were first released in 1994, the, the first ones were a two door, um, oh, I remember them. Yes. Yeah, the little two door ones. Uh, and, uh, quite popular, but compared to other vehicles, uh, probably fairly expensive. Yes. Um, so it, it was a bit of a leap to, for people to, to jump into those, but still very popular.

And it’s, uh, certainly 500,000. It’s a, it’s a big number to get to. It is indeed. Would that be fairly average for most long winded car sales? I know Hilux has been around and gone through multiple evolutions. Would that be a normal number? I believe they’ve, uh, they’ve got well over a million. Um, I think Corolla is, I think Corolla is somewhere near two million.

Wow. Uh, and, uh, So it’s a, it’s a big result, but there’s still others out there, particularly Toyota product that have sold much more volume. There you go. Well, we’ve got a few more calls rolling through. Here’s my favorite topic. Tech for cars. We talked about this a couple, a couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine’s daughter just bought a brand new Kia and I was astounded at the technology in the vehicle.

Hmm. Well, it’s, uh, I think what a lot of people have been looking for now, uh, we’ve got great safety and all those things in cars and I think we’re pretty satisfied with what we get in a car, but anti theft devices in cars are something that’s, that’s really important to people. Indeed. And when we’re hearing about cars being stolen all over the place and, uh, and we’re fearing that, uh, losing our cars, uh, there is technology available out there and some.

As you say, it’s available in IKEA now, uh, where, that you can actually have the car shut down by the manufacturer so you can call in and say my car’s been stolen and that car can be shut down. Even, uh, there’s apps now, I believe there was a, a car that was, there was an attempted breaking in a car, uh, in Queensland last week and the person was caught.

inside the car and the owner of the car was able to lock the car with their phone until the police arrived and apparently smashed windows and did all sorts of things to try and get out, but he was, uh, was arrested. So there’s, there’s some great things that are available out there, but, um, I, I wonder sometimes whether The manufacturers have held back on those things because when cars are stolen, they get replaced and it has an impact on sales.

Look it’ll be like anything else. We get one manufacturer go through it and Kia, all you need to do is ring Kia if your car’s stolen and they’ll shut down the car for you. I thought that was absolutely amazing. Fantastic idea. All right, we’ve got a couple more callers. It is a very good morning to Dee.

Dee, ask your question about them. Good morning Dee. Good morning. Oh, good morning. Good morning. Um, okay. Well, we, we have a problem. We’ve got two cards. We don’t know which one to trade. We have a Mercedes, a GLC AMG 2018 model, 64, 000. Okay. Okay. Is it a, um, Is it a 43 or is it the 63? It’s a 43. It’s a 43. Okay.

Yeah. 43 AMG. Uh, and you said 60, 60, 000. Is that right? 64, 000. 64, 000. All right. And what color is that one? White. White in color. All right. They’re a great car. And what’s this, what’s the second car that you have? A Golf R 2019, um, same, same sort of kilometers on it. 64. All right. And what’s the dilemma? What are you thinking?

Well, we don’t know which, we, we attempted to, to trade the bigger one in, but the more the golf is a bit of thirsty. Right. Um, okay. Mm-Hmm. Yeah, for the size I think it’s a bit thirsty and we just wanna trade, you know, either one or both. On, on a new car. Yeah. Okay. Alright. I can give you a bit of a guide on the GLC ’cause I’ve had one of those recently, but the golf far, I probably have to do some homework on ’cause I haven’t seen one for a.

The GLC, uh, was 64, 000 and you said it was 2018, didn’t you? It is a 2018, yes. Alright. Uh, as a trade value, um, that’s going to be worth around the 50, 000. Um, Mark, because the one that I’ve come across recently was very similar, um, and I’m happy to do some work on the, on the golf hour and let you know what I think it’s worth on next week’s show if you like.

No worries. Okay. That’d be good. I’ll listen out for that. Okay. All right. Thank you, Dee. Okay. Appreciate it. Thanks, Adam. Bye bye. Bye bye. Thank you, Dee. All right. We move on now to Ron. Good morning, Ron. Ask your question of Adam. Good morning, Ron. Ah, good morning. How can I help you, Ron? Ah, yes. I’ve got a Subaru 21 model XV, 2 IOS, got all the leather and all the gear, as new, as new, white, 14, 000 kilometers.

Just wondering on a private and trade, please. Certainly. Alright, so it’s a 2021 model. Um, we’ve changed the name of these now and the new ones. They’re called the Crosstrek now. It was a lot simpler name being called an XV. Yeah, it made it easy, didn’t it? Absolutely. Alright. So yours is that pearly white colour.

Color, is it? Yeah, that’s it. All right. And the kilometers are very low. Uh, so private self, uh, for that one, uh, I think you should be expecting in the, in the early thirties for it. So around that sort of 31 to 32. Uh, and your trade value’s gonna be about 3000, uh, three to 4,000, less than that. Uh, fair enough.

I understand that. Alright. Alright. Thank you very much. You’re welcome, Ron. I appreciate your call. Thanks. Good on your own. Thank you very much. All right. We’re in the final five minutes of the program If you’d like your car valued for trade resale Insurance or Centrelink purposes now is time to pick up that phone 0 7 double 5 2 0 double 8 double 8 Did we finish tech for cars?

I think we did. Unless you’ve got anything you want to add. Oh, look, I’m still amazed. Look, I think in that Kia, also if the airbags go off, it instantly calls emergency services and gives you GPS location. I was still astounded at those sort of things I think are absolutely fantastic. But as we said, that all that technology’s been there for a fair while and you wonder, why?

Why is it, if you can get it in a 30, 000 Kia, yes, why is it not in a 100, 000, you know, Mercedes or something of the like. Yeah, exactly. All right, a very important one, insurance. Well, we’ve been talking about the rise in insurance premiums, and, uh, and one of the big factors is the cost to repair cars has really gone through the roof.

Sure. So, panel repairs, um, the labour costs, The cost of parts, all those things over the last two to three years is probably doubled or in some cases tripled. Yes. So that’s having a big impact on um, insurance companies being able to keep premiums low. So, the insurance companies have been putting a lot of pressure on repairers to reduce costs, uh, but the, the panel repairers are now pushing back saying that, that uh, they’re, they’re They’re strapped as they are.

Yes. Uh, and it, by pushing down the, the cost to repair it could lead to really poor quality work. Yeah, I get it. Uh, and we don’t want that either. We don’t want, uh, having our cars repaired and, and not being satisfied with the repairs. Look, we seem to play one premium, and I do understand EV will pay for that.

pay a different premium. Do you think that, uh, everything always seems to blend out to be an average? And with EVs coming into the market, I know they’re very expensive to repair, especially if you do damage battery packs. They are. Yeah. Okay. That is a, but it’s not just, there’s other components in those cars as well.

That’s. costing a lot as well. So, um, yeah, I think that’s flowing into two other cars and the cost of premiums as well. Uh, but that another thing that people are struggling with now is if you do have an accident, they’re waiting a long time to get the repairs, uh, completed on cars, especially if they’re an older model.

I was astounded at the, uh, windscreens just because of the technology now with. That’s right. LiDAR and all of those sort of things built into the screen. That’s right. The screen used to be, you know, two to four hundred bucks to put on your old Valiant pacer, but now it’s thirteen hundred. I know. That’s a lot of money.

That’s for sure. We’ve got our final call. Here it is, and good morning to you, Sue. Good morning, Sue. Hello. Oh, good morning. How can I help you there? I just want for, um, my insurance. Um, It’s a 2016 Suzuki Swift. Okay, Suzuki Swift, alright. Uh, and it’s just the base model is it Sue? Yes. The base model and the automatic?

Yes. And how many kilometres has it travelled? Oh, it’s done about 82 or 83 I imagine. 82, alright. Uh, and the colour? Yes. Okay. It’s, um, silver grey. Silver grey, alright, that gives me a good picture. Alright, um, for insurance, uh, purposes with 80, 000 kilometres, uh, I think you, you should have a value around 13, 000.

13, 000, and can you give me a sale price as well? Uh, sale price is going to be a bit under that, so I’d say around 12, 000 as a private sale and your trade value would be a couple of thousand less than that again. Okay. Oh, that’s lovely. Alright. very much. You’re welcome. Sue. Appreciate your call. Thank you Sue.

Well, that was, uh, a little rushed towards the end, but, uh, great program. Thank you very much for your time this morning. Thanks for having me. Very welcome. Alright, this program will join us again next week and it will be available for review on our website fullcrb. com in the next 10 minutes.

Transcript

You’re listening to 4CRB’s interviews and talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. Well, it’s a very good morning to Adam Hall, as the promo said from Hall Group. Queensland. How are you, mate? Very well. That’s good.

Good week? Yes, very good week. Nice to see the sunshine back. Yeah, I nearly said Wayne then. Sorry about that. I’m so used to that. He’s getting some brand new eyes over the next couple of weeks. He might very well look at us with a different light. Might be a bit more critical. He’ll be listening in. G’day Wayne, hope you’re recovering well.

Well, I am. Adam is here to value your cars for trade, resale, insurance, or Centrelink purposes, so you can give a call to 0755 20 8888, and he would absolutely love to take your call this morning and value your vehicle. So Adam, you’ve got some interesting information for us this morning, and we’re going to start with struggling car brands.

Yeah, it’s not a really popular one. positive note to start on, but I thought I’d, um, go through this because, uh, there’s some brands out there at the moment that are really struggling in the market. We’ve had a lot of talked about a lot of the new ones that have come into the market, like a lot of those Chinese brands that are stealing market share, but there’s, there’s some others out there that have, uh, have, have, uh, Paid the price for those new brands coming into Australia Probably number one and this is really having a an effect on used car values as well with this brand But Jeep Jeep over the last few years has really dropped away in sales There was there’s a time there that they were doing about 30 30 to 40 thousand cars a year when You saw all those, those, uh, Jeep Grand Cherokees and those sorts of cars about, but they’re down 52 percent, uh, this year.

Wow. Um, down to about, uh, I think about under about 150 cars a month, uh, and when you consider all those different, um, dealers throughout Australia, that’s, uh, that’s a very low number. Yes. And it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Is there a reason behind it, Adam? Uh, look, I don’t, I think there’ve been, there was some pretty poor press about reliability of Jeep, um, probably started about 10 years ago and it’s just got progressively worse.

Uh, that, uh, that’s sort of their move towards more fuel efficient cars, uh, hybrid. Uh, that sort of thing, they’ve been a bit slower with that as well. And it’s really, they’ve just really been left, uh, left, um, without, um, any popularity whatsoever. So it’s, uh, and the, the sad thing is, is a lot of those popular models from years gone by, they’ve really felt the impact as well.

The resale value on those is, is probably one of the worst in the market. Yes, I agree. I had a friend with computer problems and, you know, 8, 000 bills and so forth and, yes, vowing never to buy another one again, unfortunately. And that’s the, that’s the fear, is when somebody, uh, buys a second hand car, they’re not just looking at what they get in terms of value for money, because they don’t have a, a warranty, uh, if they’re thinking that maybe I have to change the transmission or, or replace it.

Replace the engine and how much is it going to cost me that has a big impact on the resale value. So that’s one Ram is the other brand which is part of the Chrysler group as well. Yes, so those big trucks They’re down fifty point eight percent and that’s probably down to that more Uh, competition out there as well, the GM, um, the, the Ford with the F 150, coming as well.

Uh, I think that’s had a big impact, once again, fuel efficiency is starting to become a big factor for people with, when we’re paying over 2 a litre for fuel. That’s right. Um, yeah. Uh, and then we’ll go to a couple of European brands, uh, Citroen, uh, they’re down by 36. 2%. Very low numbers to start with, not a lot of Citroens are sold, but it’s still a, still a big number to be down by, uh, uh, Renault as well.

Renault are pretty well known for their commercial vehicles. Yes. Uh, there’s been a fair few of those, uh, sold into the market, but they’re down by 32. 9%. Uh, another, uh, brand, uh, European brand Fiat down 29. 8%. Uh, Cupra, uh, that’s a relatively new brand in Australia. They’re down 27. 5%. Uh, Mini, uh, another one, 26.

2%. uh, Skoda, uh, which is part of the VW group, they’re down over 25 percent, uh, Volvo, Volvo were going, uh, pretty well in the last couple of years, but they’ve had a decline, they’re down 24. 6 percent, and one of the big brands that’s, uh, big European brands that’s really down is, is Mercedes Benz, they’re down by 24.

1 percent. Wow. That’s a, that’s a very big number. Yes. Yes. Um. And we’re talking about it off air, I think one of the factors that’s really hurting them is that they’ve gone to this, uh, fixed price model, where you can’t really get a discount. No, no, no negotiation there, the price is the price. And that’s okay in a market where there’s not a lot of supply, but now that we’re back to having a lot of supply out there and other manufacturers are offering all sorts of incentives to buy their product, it leaves them in a pretty difficult position.

Transcribed I’m sure a lot of the other manufacturers were rubbing their hands together as they hear these fixed price type components and as we were talking off air, Honda making the statement, we’ll sell less but make more, and it was a public statement. That rubs people the wrong way. But there’s a lot of good things that come from this as well.

One of the, one of the factors is that Particularly for, for Honda and Mercedes Benz now, if you go to a local dealership and you want a car in a particular color and configuration, if that car’s available anywhere in Australia, that’s your car. Wow. But when that, when it was a dealership operation, it was pretty difficult because you had to rely on either the stock that that dealer had.

Yes. Or they had to arrange a spot with another dealership which can be. So there’s a lot of good things that come out of it, but I think the bad is outweighing the good right now. Looking into your crystal ball, do you think the fixed price model is something that we’ll see continue? Uh, I think that’s a, I think it’s a pretty difficult thing for them to turn around now and go back to what they had before.

I think they’ve got to double down on it and keep going with it and keep working with it. Uh, they’ve got to. do a better job at moving with market conditions. Yeah, sure. So, maybe they’re not offering a discount but they need to offer more incentives across their, their, their, they call them agencies now.

Uh, when, when it’s necessary to make sure that they’re moving the cars that they need to move. All right. This is a talk back program. We’d love to hear from you. If you’ve got a car or a vehicle that you’d love Adam to value live on air, he will value it for trade, resale insurance and Centrelink purposes.

And all you need to do is pick up that phone now 0755 2088 88 is the number. And we’ll continue our conversation. Probably one other thing as well. A few people have been asking me, They’ve been looking for a car and they want to get an idea on what they should pay for a particular car.

If you, if you’ve, if you’re out there looking for something, please give me a call because a lot of the cars that are out there on the market right now, it’s important that you get a discount. Okay. Um, Yeah, a year or so ago that wasn’t possible. Yes. But now that’s definitely changed because there’s so many more cars available for sale.

Okay, alright, well that’s another option. Alright, the smart car, Adam. Smart car, yes. I think we remember these little, uh, little cars, they, they, when they first came out they were, it was called a smart for two, which meant that only two people could be in the vehicle, uh, and two. reasonably small people. Yes.

Tiny little car. Uh, but got a actually quite popular for a while there. Yes. Um, pretty appealing looking car, but they’re tiny, absolutely tiny. Uh, but they, they ran their course in Australia and I think the last model was sold in about, uh, 2014 or Uh, but they’re returning to the market, uh, later this year.

Uh, they’ve just released a little bit more information about what they’re releasing. Uh, they won’t be those tiny little micro cars now. Uh, they’re two electric, uh, SUVs. Uh, and they’re just called the number one and the number three. So that’s a smart way to name a car. I assume there’s a number two coming.

Yeah, why did we skip two? Maybe they’re still in development, I’m not sure. Sure. Uh, so number one and the number three. Uh, the pricing is certainly, uh, going to be, uh, up there. It was quite surprising. Uh, it’s going to start, uh, and this is for the smart number one. Uh, that’ll be about 60, 000 on the road and then there’s a few different, um, Bye.

configurations you can get and driving, a better driving range and more features. And I think that goes up to about 68, 000. And then the, the smart number three, uh, that starts at about 70, 000 and the top model will, uh, be about 80, 000 on the road. Wow. So some of those new car prices that we’re hearing now, it’s just, it’s just incredible.

I agree. I must admit, I was astounded at hearing what Uh, the Ford Raptor was worth it at 100, 000 plus and went for a ute. It’s usually the workhorse that gets sand and gravel and all sorts of things thrown into them. The moment you hear the word 100, 000, you’re not really wanting to do that. No. No. No.

And that’s, that’s the thing is the, the practicality of using a vehicle like that for what it’s intended. Sure. Uh, when you’re spending 100, 000, it’s, um, Uh, it’s really not something that you want to do. No, not at all. Well, we’re waiting for your first call. We’d love to hear from you. 0785 20 8888 is the number for you to have your car valued for trade, resale insurance or Centrelink.

Or if you’d just like to know if you are going to buy a secondhand vehicle if it’s the right value. Adam is right here awaiting your call 0785 20 8888. Insurance values is something that’s a pretty important thing at the moment as well. A lot of people have been calling me off air to talk about some of the insurance quotes that people have been getting.

And the majority of the time it’s been higher than what it should be. Right. But then people Concerned about their premiums that they’re paying every year. Yes, so getting the right figure is is an important factor To make sure that you’re paying the right premium as well. Yeah, that’s a great great piece of information.

Yeah, I spoke to somebody recently that they’re they’re What they’re covered for went up by nearly ten thousand dollars in one year Wow, but the market has probably come down Yes, and I in the last 12 months. So they’re severely over insured. So what ends up happening there? If you do have an accident, your car’s written off, do you get the value that it was insured for?

Or? Uh, look, you, you do, um, but You’re paying for that. You’re paying for it, and you’re paying for it every year, year in, year out. And that’s the likelihood of you having Particularly for a lot of people that I talk to that maybe might do up to 5,000 kilometres a year and have never had an accident in their life.

Yes. Um, when you’re, when you’re paying a premium for something and you’re not likely to, to ever get that payout on. Yes. It’s something that just really needs to be It’s a waste of money to a point. That’s right. You’re just really wanting to replace that car at the value that you would replace it at.

Yeah. It’s a good thing to maybe have a little bit over. Let’s just say you’ve got Because there’s, there’s government charges and that, uh, stamp duties and registrations and, and that sort of thing that, um, that need to be covered when you, when you get another vehicle, but going over the top, I just think, uh, it’s important to just keep it, keep it at the right number.

All right. One of the questions I got from the field and, and, um, Brendan, this is your one. They, uh, The Land Cruiser Ute, he’s heard a rumour that it’s not going to be available in Australia in the near future, is that right? It’s no longer a rumour, it’s, it’s the, it’s a fact, but what he’s, I hope he’s referring to is the, is the V8 Land Cruiser Ute, that’s the one that’s being, um, discontinued, uh, and it’s really, Down to these new emission standards that are being introduced next year and Toyota just can’t bring that Um, vehicle in as part of their range because of the emission standards, uh, it’s, it hasn’t been available to order for nearly, I think about nearly 18 months now because there’s been so many outstanding orders.

Uh, but you still will be able to get it, but it’ll only be in a four cylinder version. So not even a six cylinder have gone all the way down to, to a four cylinder that the thing is, is the four cylinder’s still got. similar power. Yes. Uh, it’s a turbo, um, diesel that you find in the, in the Hilux and the, um, in the Prado.

So it still will be available, but a lot of people are very disappointed. Yes, I know. He was. All right. 0785 20 8888 is the number for you to call Adam Hall and have your car, uh, valued for trade resale insurance. Or Centrelink purposes, and we’ve got our first caller.

It’s very good morning too, if I can get my mouse over to the right side of the, the, uh, screen. Anthony, good morning to you. Good morning, Anthony. Good morning. Uh, what I have is a Kia REO 2012 six feet auto seven seater. All right. Uh, all right, so it’s. 2012 and is it a, is it the 2. 2 litre turbo diesel Anthony?

Yeah. Turbo diesel, all right, and how many kilometres has it travelled? 257. 257, just run in. Have you had the car a long time? Ah, since then, yeah, the whole time. Ah, you’ve had it since you knew. Okay, now, does it have a leather trim or sunroof or anything like that? Or is it just the base model? Just the base model.

Alright, so it should be the SI. Ah, and the colour? Ah, grey. Grey in colour, alright. And would you like a, a private sale figure as well as a trade? Yes, please. Okay. Alright. Obviously the kilometers are high, um, so it is going to have an impact on, on resale value. Uh, is the condition pretty good for? Yep.

Alright then. Yeah. That’s why it was seven seater. Now the family’s grown up . Ah, I see. Okay. Alright. Alright. I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting in the five to $6,000 range. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s gonna be a couple of thousand, less than that. Uh, probably about two, two to two and half thousand.

Less than that. Okay. Alright. Thank you very much. Thank you Anthony. Yeah. Surprise to the new ones, isn’t it? Yes, that’s for sure. I appreciate your call, Anthony. Thank you. Have a good day. Thank you, Anthony. We’ve now got David on the phone. Good morning to you, David. Ask your question of Adam. Good morning, David.

Good morning. Good morning, Adam. Elantra. It’s, um, I want four, four prices if you wouldn’t mind, uh, private, trade, insurance and, uh, Centrelink. It’s, uh, 2015, it’s done over a touch over 100, 000, 101, 000, and, um, it used to be, uh, an Avis car when I got it. However, um, I just want a value to give an idea what it’s like, it’s a, it’s an automatic and it’s black in colour.

Black in colour, and it should be the active model, just the, the base model? That’s right. Base model? Yep. Alright, active. Uh, it’s in reasonable condition is it? David? Yeah, very good condition. Okay. Alright. Let’s start with, um, we’ll start at the top. We’ll start with, um, private and in, oh, probably insurance.

So for insurance purposes, uh, I think, uh, you should have the value at around, uh, 101, 000. I think around 11, 000 would be the right figure. Private, uh, private, um, sale is going to be a similar number to that. Uh, uh, your trade value is going to be about two and a half thousand less than that. And for Centrelink.

Yeah. And for Centrelink purposes, you could go another thousand below that. Oh, and about 70. That’s right. All right, well, thank you very much for that, Adam. You’re welcome, David. I appreciate your call. Bye bye. All right, 55208888, we’re getting towards the end of the program. Do not leave your call too late.

And we’ve got Heather on the phone. Good morning to you, Heather. Good morning, Heather. Good morning, Adam. Good morning, Adam. How can I help you, Heather? I have a 2018 Equinox. How old? An Equinox. Okay. Um, 69,000 on the clock. Uh, gray, automatic. Alright. And is it the, is it the diesel one or the petrol one? Uh, petrol ls.

Petrol. It’s an Ls. Alright. Uh, and 69,000. And what color is it, Heather? It’s grey. Grey in colour. Alright. And how’s the condition? Is it pretty well looked after, is it? Perfect. Alright. I’ve just had it serviced yesterday. Very good. Alright. And, and have you had it since new, have you? I had it, um, it was made in 2018.

I registered in 2009 and I’ve had it uh, four years next month. Alright. I understand. Alright. Um, look, they have come back in value a fair bit. These, uh, the Equinox and probably down to Holden not being a, a, uh, a new manufacturer in Australia anymore. Um, mm-Hmm. I think is a, uh, I’ll give you a private and trade value.

Is that what you’re after? Yep. Alright. Yes. I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting in the 16 to 17 sort of range for it, uh, and, and if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about 2, 500 to 3, 000 less than that. Okay. All right. Thank you very much. You’re very welcome.

Thank you. Oh, for Centrelink? Uh, Centrelink, uh, drop it another 1, 000 below the trade value. Okay. Thank you very much. You’re very welcome. Thank you for your call. Okay. Well, we, uh, the board is clear. If you’d like to talk to Adam and have your vehicle, uh, valued for trade resale insurance or Centrelink purposes, we have five minutes left in the program and you’ll get straight through 0755208888.

All right. We were talking all things vehicles and we’re going to move on to Gray’s auctions. Yeah, it’s uh, we often talk about how difficult it is to um, how quick auctions can happen and it’s a pretty difficult place even for me to buy a car. It’s pretty easy to be caught out. It’s uh, but Grey’s Auctions they got into selling um, uh, cars.

used cars at auction, and they were doing them in fairly high volume and a lot of, uh, selling a lot to the public, not to, not to dealers, um, but they’ve just been fined, um, 10 million for, um, for, um, misleading car ads. So what that means is, uh, misleading descriptions where people have, uh, put Uh, have been bidding an auction for a car, uh, and, uh, maybe the, the mechanical condition or, or several different factors just haven’t, haven’t been disclosed.

And people have been left out of pocket. Wow. Thousands and thousands of dollars. So it’s a, uh, it’s, it is an important reminder. Um, that, yes, yes, they’ve, they’ve made a, an error and it’s cost them dearly. Yes. Um, but it is a, it is a tricky way to, to buy a car and quite often what I’ve found in the 30 years that I’ve been in the business is that cars that are put through auctions, they’re put through auctions for a reason.

Yes. Um, um, Not all the time, but a lot of the time they’re put through auctions because there may be issues or things that won’t be picked up because it’s such a fast moving way of buying and selling a car. And is that how you used to do it in, when you were in the game, dealer auctions? Uh, tried not to as much as possible.

There was, uh, Back in the Toyota days, there were, uh, Toyota used to have their own factory auctions, which used to have their, um, ex executive vehicles and, and at least come with a basic guarantee to a point no guarantee. So you still had to, well, cars were still under new car warranty and that sort of thing.

Um, but, um, It’s a, it really is a minefield, um, doing anything else above and beyond that. Yeah, I understand. I understand. Well, it’s nice to see that the watchdog picked up the ball and, uh, sorted it out. Absolutely. Because it’s never nice to see anybody get stuck with a fat one. No, some of the examples were, there was some enormous amounts of money that were lost by, by individuals that have bought these calves.

I had heard some stories about, uh, their mining equipment way back when that they weren’t quite exactly what was described, but this was a good 10 years ago when they were flogging it away. All right. It is a talk back program. We need to hear from you. 0755208888. We’ve only got a few minutes left in the program for Adam to evaluate your vehicle for trade resale insurance and purposes.

So pick up that phone right now. All right. Electric. Yeah, it’s a story that I read, uh, uh, the other day and there’s a consultancy firm that’s been, uh, has done a study on these Chinese electric car brands and I didn’t know that there’s, there’s currently 137 different brands manufacturing electric cars in China.

Uh, and, uh, They’ve done a study on all of these, all of these brands and they’re predicting that only 19 of the 137 will be profitable by 2030. Wow. So which will mean that, that nearly, nearly one in nine will fail by that time. So it’s, it’s probably just, and I sort of thought on that and I’m thinking a lot of people are asking me.

Oh, should I buy one of these new Chinese electric brands that are coming into the country? Sure. And I would just say that I’d be very careful on what sort of brand that you’re picking because you’re buying newer technology to start with and then let’s say in five or six years time that that brand no longer exists.

Yes. What’s that going to do? Firstly to the value of your car. Yes. Yes. Uh, and then. Secondly, if you needed parts or some sort of backup support, uh, it’s going to be very challenging. Yeah, indeed. Very much so. So I think at one point we were hearing stories of a number of new car brands being introduced into the country.

Are you foreseeing that a majority of those are those Chinese brands? Uh, yeah. Well, there’s, uh, I think in the next, uh, 12 to 18 months, there’s another 12, uh, different brand. Chinese brands coming into the country. Wow. And there’s no doubt that the quality is getting better and better. Their designs are better.

All of that. Um, but, but you still think you’ve just got to be very careful. Some of the, some of the ones that have been around for a few years now like MG. Yes. Uh, they seem to be here to stay. Although they’ve just started to bring some models into the country where it’s not, They’re not cheap pricing, uh, like the new MG3 I think starts at about 25, 000 on the road where it used to be, uh, actually I think it’s more at about 27, 000.

Wow. We’d better take this last call. Yep, we do. We’ve got a last call. We can squeak her in. It’s a very good morning to Heather. Good morning Heather. Good morning Heather. Good morning Adam. I was just wondering about my 2018 Mitsubishi ASX. I see. It’s done 168, 000 kilometres. 168, all right. And this is the base model, is it?

Yes. All right. Yes, thank you. Alright, and what colour is it, Heather? Uh, silvery grey colour. Silver grey, I know that colour, I know the one. Alright, it’s got reasonably high kilometres for a 2018, so it will affect the value. Uh, I think as a private sale value for that one, you should be expecting around the 13, 000 mark for it.

Uh, and if you were to And if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about two and a half to 3000. Less than that. Great. Alright. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you Adam. Thank you, Heather. Bye bye-Bye. Alright, Adam, we’re at the end of the program. Thank you very much for your time this morning. Great information.

Couple of calls we would’ve liked a few more. Yeah. You know, if you, if you missed out this morning, Adam will be joining us again next week. Thank you very much. Thank you.

And the other easy way to sell your car, or at least get a valuation on your motor car, I should say, and that is to call Adam right now on double five two zero double eight, double eight.

This is of course, What’s Your Car Worth, our very popular program with a very simple formula. You call in. Adam will talk to you, get a few pieces of information on your motor car, and then he will give you a real time valuation for your car, which is so important in a market that is fluctuating daily, by the hour, nearly.

So, uh, now’s the time to get the right price, because you, otherwise, you’ll be hanging around on a website for months on end and miss Opportunities within the market. So, the smart thing to do is give us a call right now on 5520 8888 and, uh, get a price from Adam so we can move that car of yours and you can get yourself into a brand new car.

And I love buying new cars. I wish I had. We can’t do it all the time though, Ken. We can’t do it all the time. Particularly when you look at the prices of some vehicles, and we’ve got a couple of examples in our discussion this morning. Very good point. The crazy point on a crazy costing and listing of cars is just going all over the place.

All right, 55208888 is the number for you to join Adam Hall for a valuation And if you’re looking at a revaluation for insurance purposes, or Centrelink, he can give you a different, uh, formula for doing that. Alright, we’re here to help. All you’ve got to do is call us on 5520 8888. Adam, le, uh Propulsion market, I’ve been waiting all week to find out what’s the latest in our market update.

We didn’t get time for that last week because we had a few calls. I know, I had indigestion all week. I’m sure you did. You wanted me to talk about that first. So this is just the continuation of our market update for last week. And we didn’t get down to propulsion, which means what sort of engine drives the vehicle.

Or propels the vehicle. Uh, so But, Adam, it does look though as if the narrative is now, the narrative’s gone from banning compulsion, uh, combustion engines in the future, to now working with combustion engines. And I think that’s a good thing. It is. A lot of manufacturers now are redirecting their research and development into producing Combustion engines that are more economical.

Yes, the media release that came in last week is the German brand of Mercedes Benz is now pulling money out of its electric car development budget and reinvesting into petrol powered Yeah. Combustion engines. A lot of them have realised that the demand is not there yet for them to support the money that they’re putting into it.

So that’s why they’ve redirected those funds to develop these, these combustion engines that are more economical and it’s what they’re doing. What the consumers want. And that’s what we said years ago. Let the market decide. Correct. It’s the best way to go. That’s right. Now, it’s back to you for the market update.

So, propulsion. So, just a reminder, there was a hundred and nineteen thousand six hundred and fifty nine sales in June, which is a pretty big number, but down four percent. So, for propulsion, the share of those, petrol is still number one with with 50, 403, that’s a fairly, um, strong number. Yes. Uh, and then diesel came in second with 36, 918, so very strong numbers still there.

Mm. Hybrid is the big mover still, uh, 15, 336 of those. Uh, go back to, uh, Um, they, they generally been up, uh, over a hundred percent each month. So that’s, uh, definitely the space that just keeps growing. Uh, and then we go into, uh, uh, electric and electric was 9, 583, which was down. I think it was down about, uh, down about 10%.

So the total mark, total sales were 150 something? No, 119. 119, and electric was 9, 000 of that. So it’s under, about 8 to 9 percent is about where it is. So it’s a long way to go there. Uh, and then the, the, uh, plug in hybrids was 1, 949. It just goes to show that, that difference, and people, uh, just seem to be unconcerned.

generally unwilling to change what they’ve always done. And even a plug in hybrid is something that you do have to change what you’ve done, because you have to plug it in and recharge that, um, that electric motor. Yes, it’s a real change in owning a car. It is, it is, and it takes a long time. Just to shift that thinking apart from the vroom vroom now in terms of, uh, countries where they, uh, where these cars all came from, uh, Japan is still, uh, right up the top, uh, 34, 602 of those and we’re sold, uh, 14.

9 percent share, uh, Thailand. 26,470. That was up 5.6%. Interestingly, uh, China, uh, was 18 604 2, but it represented a decline of 19.8%. Which, uh, year to date? Year to date or this, this is just for June? Yeah. Compared to June. June last year. Okay, great. So it’s. It’s a, it’s a normal, an anomaly because it’s, uh, generally they’ve been rising and rising, but, uh, that might have a bit to do with how electric car sales have come back as well, and we’ll talk about why later.

Um, Korea was 15, 625, and that was a decline of 9. 3%, uh, and Germany, uh, was in fifth spot with, uh, 6, 413. A lot of cars still being sold. It’s an enormous amount. Yes. But we’re, I think we’re really starting to hit the wall a bit now. It’s really starting to, to come back. We keep talking about how those, um, those orders that have been outstanding for such a long time, they’ve been filled now.

Uh, if you drive around car dealerships now, a lot of new cars now sitting there. So I recommend if you’ve, if you’re looking to buy, make sure that you Ask for a discount. Yes. I’ve seen some pretty big discounts out there now because they’re wanting to, wanting to clear stock. Clear stock. And, uh, a lot of cars mean, out there in the marketplace means it’s just, it’s more important for you to get the right price if you’re going to go into that market.

That’s right. And that’s why we’re here. That’s why Adam is here, uh, to do that for you. Double five two zero, double eight. Double eight is the number to call right now. Don’t leave it till the last moment. We’re coming up to 12 minutes past 10. Let’s get in early and get a few valuations going because that helps educate and give other people the, uh, uh, the, uh, uh, information that, uh, you might not want to call to call to talk to us on air.

So it helps all round for you to call because you’re helping other people as well. Okay. Double five, two, zero, double eight. Double eight is the number. And, uh, see a new, uh, boutique car manufacturer. Could I use that term for the South Australian business that’s looking at Yeah, it’s a Revitalizing. It is, it is.

I wonder why this hasn’t happened before because there’s such a, uh, a demand for, for for those, um, like 60s and 70s classic cars. Classic cars, yes, and this is certainly a popular classic car. It is, and We haven’t mentioned it yet. No. There’s a manufacturer in South Australia that’s, uh, decided to reproduce the the 1970s Tirana Hatchback.

Wow. Yep. Uh, which you’ve would have seen that we’re racing at Bathurst and, and that sort of thing. But they’re, they’re in pretty rare numbers, the original ones now, and they, they go for, for pretty high dollars. Uh, but this one’s going to be a completely brand new car. It’ll be based off a fiberglass body.

It’s all fiberglass body parts. It’ll have a modern V8 engine. So the six. Oh, magnificent. Magnificent. So it’s got all the modern tech. That’s right. The modern technology. Air conditioning and all of that. It’ll even come with a warranty. Uh, but, uh, it’s, uh, There’ll be about, up to about a hundred a year built, and I’d be surprised if there’d be any more than that, um, built.

Uh, cause it would be a limited market. Yeah. But around two hundred and fifty thousand is, is what that car will be, but I, I think it’ll be in pretty high demand. I think so too. A bit of variety, you know, in the marketplace and they’ve obviously built their business model on a hundred cars, limited production time and what that means and they’re building their business around that.

So they’ve got a future if they manage it right. Oh, I think so. I think, I think that, um, to be able to, to build a classic car, but have, you know, Had it drive like a modern vehicle. I think that’s a really important factor. Yes, definitely, definitely. Okay. We had a call there. Yes, and they decided to drop out.

Disappear. Yeah, but you can call us back. We’re waiting for your call. 55208888 is the number for you to get a valuation on your motor car. On 55208888. Okay, uh, China, China’s got a huge percent, oh no you mentioned the 80 percent didn’t you? I haven’t yet. Oh you haven’t, sorry. No, I haven’t. Well let’s not talk about it then.

I wanted to, I wanted to go, we talked about how the Chinese manufactured cars have come back by, there was a decline of 19%. Yeah. And, uh, The, uh, I was reading that, uh, it was actually 80 percent of electric vehicles, uh, supplied to Australia, uh, built in China. And I think a lot of people have that impression that because Tesla is an American company, uh, that a lot of cars are built, uh, electric cars are built in, in many different countries.

But the ones that are supplied to Australia, so Tesla comes from Shanghai, uh, and we’ve got so many other models that are. that a Chinese company is building these cars. So it’s a huge proportion of electric cars that are Chinese made. It is a huge, all your eggs in one basket though. Okay. It’s a good morning to Ralph.

Ralph, go ahead. Good morning, Ralph. Good morning. How are you? Very well. Thank you. How can I help you? Uh, I got a Merc, a 206, uh, it’s a 220 CD turbo, uh, diesel. Okay. So is it, is it an E class or a C class? A C class. C class? Okay, C220D, 2006. Uh, and how many kilometres has it travelled, Ralph? 185. 185, alright. Uh, and, and what colour is the car?

Silver. Silver? It was a very popular Mercedes is silver, very popular color in, uh, Mercedes back then, that’s for sure. Sure is . Yeah. And have you had the car from you, Ralph? No, I bought it three years ago. Secondhand in Sydney? Right. Okay. Alright. Okay, so it’s, it’s 18 years old, so it will, uh, I impact the, uh, the value.

Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for it? A couple of years ago, I paid for it. 11,011. Okay. Alright. They have come back in price a fair bit over the last couple of years ’cause it was such a short supply of cars back then. Um, yeah. Yeah. So it’s probably in the market now. Uh, it, it’s probably got a, a retail value of around 6,000.

6,000. Correct. Alright. Yeah. I’m sorry. Well, we, we gotta. We’ve got another Merc, which is an E Class, right? That’s a 206 model E Class, and it’s an E 350. E 350, alright. Uh, and So we’re just, uh, tossing between the two cars. We don’t need two cars when I’m going to sell one. Ah, I see. OK. How many kilometres has your E 350 travelled?

Uh, 130. 130, alright. Uh, I would probably recommend, um, the, the C class is probably something that would be easier for you to sell. The E classes just don’t, like that’s a lot of car for the E 350, uh, and the kilometers are pretty good. So, you’re, you’re probably better off to, um, to sell your, um, C class than the E class.

Than the E three 50, because they probably have the, the values are probably not that much different. Um, so I think in terms of, uh, the better car for you to keep, I think the E-Class would be the right one. E-Class is a better car. Yes. And it was a dealer car to buy. Correct. Occasionally too. That’s right.

Yes. Mm-Hmm. . Yeah. Alright, well, I, I hope that information’s helped you. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Ralph. Great. Bye-Bye. Thank you. Bye. Alright, we’ve got Anna on the line. Good morning, Anna. Oh, good morning, Adam. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? That’s good. Well, um, it’s the usual that I’ve been ringing about for the last 8 years, or 7 years rather.

Just the, um, little Holden tracks. I see. Um, just the basic, basic one. Alright, and what year model is it? It’s white. Alright. 2016. 2016, okay. And how many kilometers does it travel? Uh, 45, 2 7 9. Alright. Very low kilometers. Uh, so is this for, is this for insurance purposes or for Centrelink or, um, it, it’ll be for Centrelink.

Okay. I don’t, slink don’t want to sell it. I like it too much. Ah, that’s good. Good to hear. Yeah. . Alright. , I think, uh, uh, the kilometers are very low, so it’s, it is worth more than the average. Um, but for Centrelink purposes, uh, I think it would be fair to put the value down at around 10,000. Oh, well, that’s all right.

Um, actually, yeah, that’s all right. But what would it be if I was going to sell for private purpose? Uh, for private sale, um, would probably be around that 13 to 14. Yeah. All right. And trade in would be a little bit? A little bit less. So, yeah, about that sort of, um, 11, that sort of mark. All right. Yeah. Well, that, that’s all good.

Thank you. Because it’s more than I thought. Ah, that’s good. So, thank you. And a good look. Thank you very much. And a good morning, good morning to you, Annie. Oh, who? Hello? Hello, this is Wayne . He wanted to say hello. Thank you for your all. Okay. Hi Wayne. Hi. Hi Adam. Thank you Adam. Thank you. Thank Byebye. Bye bye.

Alright, we’ve got Neil on the line. Good morning, Neil. Good morning. How are you, Adam? Very well, thank you. Yeah. Can I help you? That’s good. I have a 2013 Kia Rondo, uh, platinum, 121,000 K on it. Okay, alright, uh, Kia Rondo and, uh, it’s the Platinum. Yep. Alright, and Emoc? Welcome, uh, everything’s in top condition, a few scratches as well, just some car parts.

Okay. Other than that, that’s, uh, all of it’s been serviced. And what colour is it, uh, Neil? The, uh, tail, it’s a grey, uh, grey blue. Grey blue. Cool. Okay. Alright, have you had, and you’ve had it from you, have you? Yeah. Alright. Yeah. Lovely, lovely cars. Alright, now would you like a, a private sale value as well as a trade?

Yeah, just a private sale. Alright. Uh, I think for private sale, um, purposes, uh, you should be expecting around the 12,000 mark for that one. 12, probably 10 for trade, something like that. Nine to 10 as a trade. That’s right. Nine to 10. Alright. Thanks Adam. You’re welcome. Thank you Neil. Okay. bye-Bye. Yes, thank you for your call, Neil, and all our lines are now free.

All our lines are free. 55208888 is the number. And we were talking about motor car prices and how expensive they’re becoming. It might be worthwhile just mentioning that.

The new Hyundai. This one even really surprised me. Which was always a value for money motor car, wasn’t it? It wasn’t that long ago, and we’re talking about the Hyundai i30, and I know that back in 2016, 2017, uh, they used to advertise a drive away, price on those of 19, 990 on the road and including your registration and stamp duty and everything.

Now the new model that’s coming later this year, they’ve announced that it’s going to be 36, 000 and that’s plus the on road costs. So by the time you add all the on road costs, that’s going to be about 40, 000 on the road. So it’s just a really good deal. It, it, it doesn’t, it’s no longer going to come in a base model, so it’s going to have a lot of features, it’s going to be a hybrid, and all of those things, but you just, you just wonder that, uh, are they, are they ignoring a big part of the market that just can’t afford to buy a car of that value?

Uh, I don’t think everybody, uh, Everybody wants all the gadgets fitted to their car, as long as they’ve got a safe, reliable car and it’s new and they can, they feel like it’s, nothing’s going to go wrong with it for the foreseeable future. I think it’s just ignoring a big part of the market. Yes, it’s a fine balance, isn’t it, to look at what the retail price might be to justify a whole new range of technology that’s in the vehicle.

That’s right. But some of that technology we could probably live without. Yes, that’s right. You know, that’s the question, and what is that? Okay, we’ve got another caller now. We’ve got Wendy on the line. Good morning, Wendy. Good morning, Wendy. Yes, hi, how are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Um, we have got a 2008 Nissan Hatchback Automatic, um, Micra.

Oh yes, I have a Micra, yes. Yep, um, we’ve had it for 16 years. But we live in New Zealand, so we come and go between New Zealand and Australia, and we’ve just kept it here for when we come over. Ah, I see. So, um, we’ve only done 42, 000 kilometers on it in that time. Got very low kilometers. Um, the color is, yep, the color is green.

I don’t know if anybody remembers what the snifter lollies used to look like. Yes, I do. The green of that. I remember that color. Yeah, everybody calls it a snifter. Yeah. No. Yeah. I know. Yeah, so, um, That’s, that’s sort of, yeah, we’ve had it for 16 years and it’s a 2008. Okay. And I’m just wondering what your thoughts would be on it.

Okay, uh, generally a 2008 model Nissan Micra is, is not worth a lot of money at all now. But what, what helps is it’s only, uh, has 42, 000 kilometers. Uh, normally these are sort of traded for around the 10, 000 range. The 1, 500, but um, yours is probably going to be worth double that because of the So it’ll be around probably 2, 500 to 3, 000 is what it’s worth.

It is an automatic, is it Wendy? It’s an automatic. Automatic, yeah. It’s a 5 door automatic. Yeah. Yeah, it’ll be worth somewhere in there. Alright. Yeah. Oh, thank you. It’s going fantastic, but I was just interested in that. That’s sort of what I had thought probably, but thank you, Adam, for your help. You’re welcome, Wendy.

Thank you for your call. Much appreciated. Bye bye. Bye. Yes, thank you, Wendy, and you’ve got time to call us now on 5520 888. 888 is the number for you to get in before we close our program to get a valuation on your motor car. Okay, Adam, um, One thing I wanted to talk about, um, was the, uh, last week, I didn’t get time to, but, uh, Toyota made an announcement last Monday that, uh, and it’s probably an announcement we expected, but the Land Cruiser V8 ute is no longer, uh, they’ve decided to let that one go, and, uh, It’s really, they’ve cited the, the reason as being the, uh, these new, uh, emission standards that are going to be introduced next year just prevented them from being able to, uh, to bring that car into Australia anymore, but being such a popular model and been around for a long time.

Yes. I mean, you know, Outback Australia will never be the same again. I know. So now it’ll only come in the, uh, 2. 8. It’s not even a six cylinder, but it’s going to come, it’ll be in the 2. 8 litre four cylinder, which is found in the, uh, the Hilux and the, uh, the Prado. So going to be a very, very different vehicle.

Ah, look, as I say, remote Australia will never recover from this. No, no. Well, there’s a lot of talk now about, uh, what, what it’s going to do to the values of of those cars, but they’d already. I think that they’d already been a shift in the market because it was an expectation. So I don’t think prices are going to change too much from where they are now.

And the Ford, Ford Capri is being re engineered as well. I got, I got excited about this one because the, uh, the original Ford Capri from the seventies was a. It was a pretty little coupe, an amazing car. And then, uh, then we had the Ford Capri convertible in the nineties, which I think it came out at about 1989, uh, which was a pretty popular car back then, but it was pretty much a Ford laser with no roof on it.

And now, uh, they’re bringing back the, the Ford Capri, uh, nameplate, but I, I really expected it to be a similar sort of car, but it’s not. It’s, uh, it’s going to be an SUV and it’s going to be a purely electric, uh, car, uh, And , which it’s a bit of a shame to waste that, that, um, history on something that has nothing to do with with its history.

Uh, apparently, uh, the good news is it’s gonna have a driving range of, of up to. 627 kilometers, so I would think that would be the top spec one. Yes. Which is a pretty good driving range for an electric car. And, uh, 0 to 100 kilometers an hour in 5. 35 seconds. So, pretty, pretty fast, but disappointing all the same.

It’s the same impact I got from looking at a little drop down that came on my computer screen, uh, the other day with the new Ford, uh, Mustang. Yes. SUV. The Mackee. The Mackee. And I thought, oh gee, this looks smart. And I opened up and it was just a, it was another SUV, well, or Ford. They, in their wisdom, they decided to use that, the Mustang brand for that, for that vehicle.

But it really hasn’t worked. I don’t think it, it’ll worked because I just lost interest straight away. No, you know, expecting an up market. Minisize Mustang. That’s right, but it’s certainly nothing like that and, uh, it’s, it’s certainly, it’s not working in the market. The changes to the market, you know, they’re, they’re trying, the manufacturers are trying different, different strategies all over the place, aren’t they?

They are. Yeah, that’s why our program is so important. I think we’ve got a little future here with our program. We do. Yes, and with our little program is finished now, and we thank you for your participation this morning, and we look forward to Adam being back again with us next week, Adam. I will. That’s fine, and we look forward to your calls coming in then as well.

Transcript

You’re listening to 4CRB’s interviews and talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. Yes, it is the new, easy way to sell your car. But this morning, it’s all about what’s your car worth. Every Tuesday at this time here on Your Station 89.

3. And in front of me, I have the man who is the host and the founder of this program just about. Amber, I don’t know anyone else that has the, uh, the mental. uh, knowledge that Adam does have of the car industry and all of that is to your advantage because what he can do is give you a real time valuation on your car if you’re thinking of selling and that can be a trade in or buying it straight out, selling it privately and in this market.

We are still in a, uh, what you’d call an atmosphere of volatility. Very much so at the moment. Uh, I, I dunno whether I mentioned it last week, but we’re at a record level of used vehicle stock for sale on the websites at the moment. So that is having a, a big impact. There’s a lot of, uh, uh, the dealerships, uh, are full of cars, so they’re starting to really discount the cars down from where they were a few months ago.

’cause they need to clear them. Uh, and a lot of these, uh, a lot of, uh. There’s been a lot of new car sales over the last few months and trade ins have come through as well. So that’s adding to that stock level. So really getting back to a very normal market again, not like it was throughout COVID when we had that shortage of supply.

Yes. And, uh, What our listeners, I’m sure our listeners do appreciate the fact that when we talk about this market and I talk about real time valuation, I’m referencing the fact that, uh, uh, sites that you can go into like car, um, car sales, as many of them on, on, on the web. Um, they, that takes, There’s a lag time for them to catch up with what is happening in the market.

And I’m talking about people setting the price of their car. Yeah. Um, because sometimes we, we all do it. We, our emotions get the better of us. You love the seats in your car, in the car, you know. And I, I think we all, also remember what we paid for a car as well. So yes, that’s a, that’s an important bit, but over time, the, the, the normal reality of, of owning a car, unless it’s some rare, uh, vintage car or something like that is that they depreciate every year.

Yes. I know that’s the mathematical fact and it goes backwards. It does. Yes. All right. Well, we love our cars. And if you love your car and now you’re thinking of turning it over, uh, having, uh, a chance at buying a new car and you want to trade it in or you want to sell it privately. The best thing for you to do is to call us on 5520 888 right now and get a real time valuation on the car so that you can sell it and turn it over quickly and get into whatever you would like to do with that money.

And it’s great buying a new car. It’s such a thrill. I’ve spoken to a few people lately and you can see the, They, that joy that they get out of, out of getting that new car. Yes. And I’ve seen some people that have never owned a new car before and that have recently done it. They’ve been waiting a long time for their car to arrive and finally got it.

And the look on their face, it’s a fabulous experience. It is a fabulous experience. Fabulous experience. All right. Will you join us for a fabulous experience and get a valuation on your car? 55208888 is the number. And as a quick note to that, don’t forget any revaluations that you might be having, uh, struggling with at the present times, particularly with insurance because insurance has gone through the roof.

So if you’re looking at a reevaluating your motor car for insurance or settling purposes, Adam can do that for you as well. Double five, two zero. Okay, Adam, um, we might do a bit of a market update. I’ve got a lot to talk about this week. Propulsion. Propulsion on your list. We’ll do that. It’s definitely there, so we can talk about that.

Uh, this is the market update for June. Uh, June is generally the, uh, The biggest month of the year for car sales because it’s the end of financial year. So a lot of businesses and governments and rental fleets, they change over. So it’s, uh, it’s certainly a busy month. Uh, there was 119, 659 sales, uh, for, uh, last month.

Uh, it was actually a 4 percent decline on. June 2023. So this is the first time that we’re seeing that, uh, numbers have declined so far this year. Uh, so far for the year, I think we’re, we’re up about 8. 7%, but now that all these, this backlog of orders that we’ve been talking about has now been fulfilled, uh, there was a, there was a bit of a drop in the market.

And that’s why if you, if you’re driving around car dealerships. You can see a lot more cars that are sitting, sitting in those dealerships because 4 percent may not sound that much, but 4 percent of, of a really big number. Um, it adds up to a lot of cars just sitting there. Yes. Um, very, very difficult market when you’ve got over supply and that does impact prices.

Yeah. It’s a good thing for the buyer though, because that you can really go out there and get, and negotiate, and negotiate, get a good discount. I’ve helped a few people, uh, get 10, 12 percent off, off the car. And this time, 12 months ago, you couldn’t get a set of mats as an extra in the car. Yeah. So now it’s, it’s certainly a good time to buy.

Uh, electric sales were, um, down by 13. 2%. So that’s a, that’s a pretty big number. Uh, so in terms of the brands, uh, Toyota, as I do every month and every year, they finished number one. Uh, they sold 20, 903. uh, Ford was in second place with 9, 493, which is an increase of 22. 4%. So they’re going very well. They’ve really, um, sort of cemented that second spot now where a year or two ago they were always maybe fourth or fifth spot.

Uh, in third spot was, uh, Mazda with 9, 483. Uh, Kia in fourth, 8,225. Uh, and then, uh, Mitsubishi. Hyundai. Tesla was in seventh, uh, Subaru and eighth Zuzu. Ute in ninth. And then Nissan, uh, they’re going pretty well this year. They were well outside the top 10 last year. Uh, they, they’re up 55.6% to, to get into the top 10.

Amazing. It’s absolutely amazing. Mm-Hmm. . Yeah. And, um. The, the, um, the backlog of orders that we’ve been built up post COVID now, has that been cleared by most manufacturers now? Most manufacturers, yes. There’s still a little bit of a wait with Toyota have certain models that you still have to wait for. But, uh, as an, as an example of the Toyota, the RAV4 hybrids, uh, you’re waiting, uh, a minimum of about two years to get a car and now that’s three to four months.

So some dealerships actually have them. Have them now. Okay. We’re back on track. Okay. Here’s our first call for this morning. Good morning to Donald. Good morning, Donald. Good morning, Donald. Good morning. Uh, I have a white, uh, CRV 2013 with about 230 5K on it. Uh, it’s the daughter’s car and mom and I are gonna buy it as a second car for us.

Ah, okay. Alright, so it’s a CRV and it’d just be the VTI model. Is it VTI? Yeah. The, the basic fellow base model. And it’s not a, not a four wheel drive, it’s the two wheel drive. One, no. All right. Uh, the kilometers are certainly more than the average, so it does have an impact on its value. What’s the condition like Donald?

Pretty well looked after. Yeah, fairly clean. Apart from a set of brakes and four tires, it would be good as gold. Okay. All right. Uh, I think, uh, for you, look, the average one’s probably got. Maybe 150, 000, uh, and they would probably sell for around that 000 mark. But you need to be less than that for this one because of the kilometers.

I know you, um, probably want to do the right thing by your daughter as well. Exactly. Um, but I, I think sort of somewhere around that 7, 000 would be a fair price. Alright, that’s the number we’re sort of thinking. Oh good. So thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you Donald. Bye bye. Alrighty. Yes, thank you for your call Donald and you can get into our lines now, we’re all free 5520 888 for a valuation on your motor car with Adam Hall.

As I said, all our lines are free so, uh, you Go to the phone on 5520 8888 and let us give you a valuation on your motor car. I’ll keep going with my market update. I was just going to say we’ll go back into the market update. Alright, so I’ve gone through the brands. Now models, uh, the Ford Ranger has really leapt out well and truly in front of the Toyota Hilux now.

Uh, they sold 6, 289 of those last month compared with the Toyota Hilux, which was. 5, 630 so a pretty big gap there now where Hilux was number one for such a long time. Uh, So the and rav4 was in third spot and that’s that real catch up of those orders 3, 907 of those the Mitsubishi outlander going well a lot of rental fleets by those in government departments 3045 and the tesla Uh, Model Y finished in fifth spot with 2, 906.

Yeah, it’s amazing the, how a marketing decision, uh, for Ford in getting that, uh, that boat full of vehicles to come in at the right time pre the, uh, Uh, the market survey were pushed, uh, forward into a number one position. It’s amazing how that drives their business. It does. It’s made a big difference, but at the same time, they had to have the right product to make that work.

And they really do have a very good product. It’s certainly competing, isn’t it? It is market. Okay. Let’s, uh, we’ve got, uh, Adrian. Good morning, Adrian. Yes, I’m here. Uh, can I help you there? Yes, I have a, an HRV. Oh yes? It’s done, it’s a, I think it’s about 18 months old. It’s done about 40 something thousand K.

40, 000, alright. Um, so it’s about a 2022 or 23 model or? All right, 2022, uh, and it’s got 40, 000 on it. And is it just the base model? It doesn’t have leather trim or anything like that. Uh, I think it’s maybe the next one up from base. All right. No, no leather. Okay. Uh, And now, during that time, there was a, a new model that came out.

Do you know whether yours is the last of their previous shape, or the, or the new model that’s, that’s currently on sale now? Oh, I think it’ll be the last of the old shape. Last of the older one? Okay. Alright. Alright, I think that gives me a good picture. And what colour is it, Adrian? Uh, it’s sort of a fairly white, ah, nice color, very popular color.

That one. Alright. Now would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade-in figure? Yes, please. Certainly. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting around the, uh, 23 to 24,000 for it. Uh, yes. And if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about three to 4,000 less than that.

Okay, that’s very good knowledge. Thank you very much. Thank you, Adrienne. I appreciate your call. Thank you. Bye bye. very much. All right, we’ve got Warwick on the line. Good morning, Warwick. Good morning, Adam. How can I help you? Just an insurance query. Uh, my, um, 2007, Holden Belina was, uh, written off recently.

Well, they said the insurance company told me it’s written off really in an accident about five weeks ago tomorrow. Mm. And I’m in dispute with the insurance company. They’ve offered me $4,900 payout on the, uh, October two, uh, 2007 update model. And, uh, mine is, of course, the remainder of my insurance contract.

So I end up with about four and a half thousand or something like that. Really? Well, I’ve got a dispute with the insurance company over the way they’ve gone about it. Right. That’s another matter, but one of the operators was ringing them and trying to talk with them. One of the operators had a slip that the Red Book value for my particular car was 5, 500.

Yeah, yeah. You can’t even look at it. My car’s had a lot of money spent on it to get maintained, brand new expensive tires, and because I use the car for interstate travel, and you can’t even look at a similar Commodore. For under about, you know, you could jump in and use it for an interstate trip. They’re certainly old cheapos, but they’re, they’re clearly rubbish when you read about them.

For under 9, 000, 10, 000, 12, 000. And how, how do, and how do they get away with claiming that the car’s insured for market value when there’s such a discrepancy in the prices? And also one operator from the insurance company told me the red book was 5, 500. Yeah, yeah. Look, the, the five, Look, I think nine or ten thousand dollars for a, for a ballena of that.

How many kilometers did it have on it? It’s got, it’s got 200, 000 K’s. Completely well maintained with genuine Holden parts and brand new, expensive pliers. It’s in, I use this to say that there is only one condition for travelling long distance. Yeah, the unfortunate thing with insurance companies, once cars get to that type of age, they tend to really drop away what they’re prepared to insure them for.

Uh, I do think that 9, 000 or 10, 000 for a 200, 000 kilometre ballena, if people are asking that, it’s far too much. They just wouldn’t sell it for that sort of price. But, but it’s a, I, I do understand 4, 900, particularly when you’ve spent money on it and done tires and those sorts of things. It’s very difficult to be able to replace the car for that amount of money.

Um, but I guess the only thing I could say to you is just, uh, to present them. examples so that you’re supposed to be insuring me for market value will show me a car that I can buy for 4, 900 that has, that’s, that’s the same as my car. Um, and maybe they might raise it a bit, but there’s no way that they would cover it for eight or nine, but hopefully you can push, push that figure up a bit further.

Yeah, correct. Any car under about 7, 000 or 8, 000 is just clearly rubbish. Clearly needing extensive repairs, which my car doesn’t need. I want the car back, but that’s a matter of dispute. The way they’ve gone about it, I’m in dispute with. It’s my preferred employer, er, er, repairer, sorry. I was told that he can get the car back on the road with it, who is prepared to do partial repairs on it.

Yes. And he can get the car back completely road worthy, for between two and two and a half thousand dollars. Yeah. And we can do cosmetic cleaner. Well if you can do that, that’s something, if you can negotiate that, that’s probably a good option as well. Okay, well Warwick, thank you for your call mate, we’ve got to move on, got a couple of calls to go.

Warwick, appreciate it. All the best with that, good luck. Bye bye. Alright, we’ve got Barry on the line, good morning Barry. Yes. How can I help you Barry? Oh, good morning, Adam. Um, mate, I’ve got a BMW 320i wagon, five seat, with 68, 400 kilometres on it. Gee, that’s And what year model is it Barry? It’s an 0814 Ok, F30?

Ah yes, 3 Series F30 BMW AG it says Alright, ah gee, there’s not a lot of wagons around so that’s a, that’s a pretty rare one, definitely Ah, has yours got a, have you got a sunroof or just a hard roof? No Ok, no sunroof? Alright, and what colour is your car? Um ? Red. Oh, red. Okay. I think they called that. I think they called it Melbourne Red from memory.

Yeah. I don’t know, to be honest. This is a deceased estate. Oh, I see. That I want to sell. Okay. So I’m not sure about, I’ve got a photo of here, that’s all. Okay. No, I understand. Alright. Look, they’ve definitely, they’ve. All these sorts of European cars, especially if they’re 10 years of age, they’ve come back a fair bit in value of late.

Um, but this one’s got very low kilometers, so it certainly helps. Uh, I think as a, uh, private sale for that one, uh, I’ll give you both figures, uh, Private and what it’s worth as a wholesale or trade value. Um, so private sale value I think would be around that sort of 18 to 20 mark. Uh, and as a wholesale or trade value it’s probably going to be about 3 to 4 thousand less than that.

Yeah, okay, that’s, that’s fine. Alright. Um, actually I would, Probably call you back at some other time maybe, and maybe you could have a look at it or something like that. Certainly. Yeah, happy to do that. Thank you Barry. Great. I appreciate your call. Thanks very much. Alright, we’ve got Paul on the line. Good morning Paul.

G’day Adam, it’s Paul here. How can I help you Paul? I’ve got a, uh, V6, uh, 2016 Toyota Ariane Presley, Presley? Uh, Prasara, is it? And I’m just wondering what I’d get for it. Alright. I’ve got 105, 000 on the clock. 105, 000. Good set of summaries. And it’s bronze in color. Okay. Now Paul is, is it the Orian ps the top of the range one?

Yes, it is. Okay. Orian ps uh, and it’s got 105 on it. Bronze. Bronze in color. And what’s the condition, like Paul pretty well looked after. Is it very good? I just bought it from Hayes Toyota. Ah, okay. You bought it brand new, did you? No, no. Another bloke, a doctor bought it from me and I, I had to go and. I had to replace a Camry, uh, hybrid.

It started shaking at two, I bought it at about, uh, two, I don’t know, 170, I bought the other hybrid. Okay. And it was shaking and it was breaking down. Oh, really? So I had to buy, I had to buy this. Yeah. Well, they’re a pretty good car, the Auris. It was 10 grand for that thing. Yeah. Alright, now, um, would you like a private sale value as well as a trade value?

Okay. Well, give us a private one and, uh, no, just a private one. Private? Okay, alright. Uh, I think, uh, asking price if you were to sell it privately, it’s probably got a little bit more than the average kilometres on it, because a lot of these tend to have low kilometres. Um, I think, as a private sale, I think you should be asking around the 18, 000 mark for it.

Alright, I’d pay 20, 000 for it. How long ago did you buy it? Oh, I’d say around about six months ago. Okay. Well that’s, that’s probably about right because they, the market’s come back a little bit, so I think if you ask around 18, uh, it’s probably a fair price. Yeah. Roughly. About, yeah, that’s all. Like, see the other ones.

I had the hybrid, and it, it just started shaking. Gee, that’s unusual. Yeah, I haven’t heard that one before. The cabin down here, he got about 600 green out of his. And the bike from Toyota handed me back the keys. It’s been looked after, I bought the car from Hayes. And Dad said it was, uh, he didn’t know how to fix it.

Gee, that’s unusual. Well, thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. Okay, thank you for your call, Paul.

Well, Adam, what do they say about having all your eggs in one basket and the way the EV market here in Australia is in terms of the supply of eggs?

EV vehicles all betted down in one country. It is. It’s uh, I was reading this story that, uh, a lot of people have that sort of thought that, uh, our, our electric cars are coming from all sorts of different countries, uh, particularly Tesla. Mm-Hmm. People see it as a, as an American company. Yeah. Uh, but all of our Teslas that come here, uh, come from China.

So built in Shanghai. Uh, so what it means is that 80%. of the electric vehicles that are sold in Australia at this point, uh, uh, coming out of China. It’s a very big number and a big reliance on one country for, for that product. It is an awful lot, an awful lot. And we’ve got a couple of callers. All right.

We’ve got Colin first. Good morning, Colin. Well, thank you. How can I help you? Uh, good. Yeah, look, I’ve got a, uh, old, uh, XV six years to 2010 model. Uh, it was my son’s car, he’s moved overseas, and I was just thinking I might sell it off. A Subaru XV is it? No, it’s a Commodore SV6. Oh, SV6, okay. SV6 Commodore.

Yeah, SV6 Commodore, 2010. Uh, it’s the golden colour, it’s got the spoiler on the back. You know, everything works, air conditioning, it’s got really good tyres. The only thing is it’s got really high K’s on it, you know, it’s like 296 on it. 296, okay. They’re all highway, cause he used to work in Brisbane and drive from the Gold Coast to Brisbane and back every day, so.

Yeah, okay, I understand. Alright, well, to sell it you’ve got to, like, I think it’s really important with something like the Porsche. to put the right price on it, uh, if you try to, especially with approaching Well, I’m not going to trade it, obviously. Yeah, yeah. I’ll just sell it privately. Yeah, sell it privately.

Yeah. I think, um, as a private sale, um, cause it’s got the, uh, the 296 kilometres, approaching 300, uh, I think somewhere around that sort of four and a half mark would be the right price to ask. Oh, that much, really? Yeah. I was going to recommend if you have it for 2, 500, so Well, it depends on condition as well, but like, if it’s, if it’s ready and roadworthy and all that, I think you’d start it.

Oh, it’s registered, roadworthy, everything, good tyres, everything works. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, OK, well, yeah. Oh, OK, I didn’t realise I’d be worth quite that much money. Yeah, probably ask a bit more, because you always have people negotiating down as well, so if you start at 2, 500, you’re going to have people offering you 1, 000, and you don’t want that.

Fair enough mate. Look, thanks Adam, I appreciate it. You’re welcome Colin, I appreciate your call. Alright, we’ve got Steve on the line, good morning Steve. Yeah, good morning, good morning Adam, Steve here. Um, I’ve got a 2600 series Landcruiser, turbo diesel, um, airbags in the back, tow bar, caravan electric brakes.

Bull bar and five way protection package on it when I bought it new. I’ve had it from you service regularly done 262 K just running. Yeah. . Alright. And it’s a GXL, is it Steve? Not a VX or Sahara? Yeah. Yeah. JGXL. Yeah. GXL. Um, it’s in very good condition. Um, the upholstery inside the back seats have never been sat on and, uh, what have you.

Yeah, most of the, most of these are people put ’em in their garage when they, as soon as they take the car home and they’d never come out until they sell it again. , yeah. Now to, alright now, would you like a private sale value? Ah, yes please. Okay. And it’s made in. Alright. Um, look, there’s people asking a lot of money for these, and I, but I’ve seen some of them sitting on the market for one to two years, um, just not selling.

People are trying to get these enormous numbers for them, but there’s a, they’re a great vehicle, but there’s a limit to what they’re worth. Uh, I think if you were to, um, sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting in the early thirties for it. So around that sort of 31 to 32, uh, and, and if you were to trade it in, it’s probably going to be about 5, 000 less than that.

Okay. Oh, it sounds okay. Yeah. Yeah. Some people just, uh, look, it sounds like you’re pretty reasonable with it, but, uh, some people sort of don’t want to really want to part with them. So they ask these enormous numbers and they just sit online and don’t get sold. So that, um, I hope that information’s helped you.

Oh, it does. When I decide to sell it, you know, you know, I really want to sell it and, um, as I say, I’ve had it from Newton. It’ll be sad to let it go, but, uh, it’s, um, it’s my part of the family. Yeah, I’d imagine. We love our motor, we love our motor cars. So, thank you, Steve. Thank you. All right, cheers now. Bye bye.

Okay, our final call for this morning, David. Go ahead. Good morning, David. Cheers. Well, uh, Adam, uh, David, my name, um, My daughter’s been offered a car. It’s a Volkswagen. I think it’s Apollo. It’s a 19, a 2015, uh, black, uh, manual, black and color manual, 120 Ks. Okay. Um, and, uh, it’s a man, oh, it’s a manual. I told you that.

Yeah, it’s a manual one. All right. And how much? They’re asking about, about 7. 7, 000? Uh, it’s It’s probably about the right number for 120, 000. Try and negotiate it down a little bit further, but I think 7, 000 for 2015, that’s about right. Yeah, he’s also mentioned that he changed his timing chain or something on it.

Is that correct? Yeah, yeah, that’s a, yeah, that’s right. And that’s a good thing because that’s a common thing to go with us. Alright? Yeah. Okay. Thanks very much for that. You’re welcome. Thank you, David. Good on you, David. Have a good day. Have a good day. Bye bye. Bye bye. Another happy customer there this morning.

Transcript

You are listening to four CRBs interviews and talkback series. Yes, it is your radio station and of course, every Tuesday at this time, what is the, what is the activity and what’s your positioning? Your positioning is right alongside your radio to take in what happens, on what’s your car worth? And our host, Adam Hall.

Good morning. Adam. Good morning Wayne. Nice to be back. Nice to have you back. Yes, a couple of weeks off. Yes, I’ve got a bit of a tan. It’s gone today. It’s gone. Yes, Adam Hall is back with us this morning for What’s Your Car Worth? And our invitation to you is that if you are currently thinking of selling your motor car, whether it be a trade in or a private sale, whether you’re looking at going to an auction, The wise thing to do is to get a valuation on your motor car before you start to do anything.

Don’t put anything into those, um, uh, websites that are around the place before you get a valuation on your car from Adam, because he can give you what the market currently is showing for your car, a real time valuation, Adam, and, uh, That’s right. This is one of the rare positions that, uh, you’re in at the present time, because you can do it.

Because you’re out there talking to people. Yeah, absolutely. It’s, uh, it’s a very volatile market at the moment. And even since I’ve been away, I’ve seen some changes out there. Uh, a lot more stock available for sale. Uh, a lot of discounting going on with dealerships, uh, private sales. A lot of people concerned that their cars aren’t selling as quickly as they, they thought they would.

So it’s, uh, it’s definitely, uh, very volatile. Yes, so it means a huge amount of vehicles for sale, the demand is still coming through and if you put a little bit of a motion to the setting the price, that makes it very hard because sometimes because you’ve got perfect seats and perfect interior, it sometimes doesn’t reflect in the price you want.

No. The real price. No. And it’s important to turn your car over so you can move forward. Okay. Well, look, that’s a little bit of philosophy there from Wayne, and I’ll shut up now. But, uh, if you’re joining us for the first time here on our very simple program, What’s Your Car Worth? It’s, uh, if you’re selling privately or you want to trade in, Adam can give you a valuation on that.

If you’re going to an auction to look for a specific car, Adam can give you a starting price that you should be guided by. And if you want a revaluation on Centrelink or insurance purposes, Adam can use a slightly different formula to get you, uh, right in getting your car sold quickly. And if you looked in the, looked in the garage this morning and the big beast is looking back at you and you’re thinking, It’s time for the girl, the old girl to, well, I shouldn’t say the old girl to go.

I mean, that’s terminology, but if you want to turn that big beast over and get into something smaller, Adam can give you a price of what’s sitting there, uh, in cash. All right, there are all the categories and we’d love you to call us right now on double five, two zero double eight, double eight. You’re very welcome to do it right now.

Okay, Adam. Let’s have a look at this important study which we were talking about off air, and it’s, um, it’s a little scary for the future of how the industry is going to be in terms of categories in the industry. Well, there’s a bit of concern out there at the moment about, uh, what’s the, um, The viability of electric cars and there’s a study and it’s a global study, but it was it was done with 30, 000 people, so it’s a pretty good sample, and this is 30, 000 people that have recently bought an electric car, and the study was asking those people whether they will stick with the with an electric vehicle going forward for the next purchase.

And the staggering number was that 49 percent of those people that have purchased the electric car, uh, it said that they intend on returning to a combustion engine car uh, once they’ve finished with the electric car. The concerns were all the, all the standard things like uh, concerned about um, uh, resale value, the range, um, the replacement batteries, uh, all sorts of different, um, factors that people are, and these are people that have, have taken that big step forward, uh, in, in taking that risk of buying, new technology and now thinking, did I do the right thing and intending going back the other way?

It’s a scary figure. I know this is an unfair question to put to you right now, but it’d be interesting to know if it was mentioned in that study, the duration of ownership of the EV. Did it, did the majority of those 30, 000 have been in an EV car for 12 months or more? I believe so. I believe it was, they’d been in the car for a minimum of 12 months, not just right.

I purchased it. Okay. enough time to understand, understand, okay, uh, what does this mean for me? Has it been, uh, the price that I paid for it? Um, did I get value out of that? Uh, what’s it costing me to recharge? Uh, the, all sorts of different, um, factors that you need time in the car to be able to, to determine which way you’re going to go.

Yes. Look, there’s no doubt about that. Without even focusing in on the, on the, uh, EV segment of the current car industry, there is now a very solid rethink going on for all categories in the, uh, car industry and what they will, uh, present, the difficulties they’ll present to the consumer. That’s the big thing.

Well, we’ve seen such a big rise in, uh, hybrid sales and, and that, uh, That is a pretty important factor and a lot of manufacturers are putting so much research and development into hybrid now because nothing really changes when you buy a hybrid vehicle. You’re still, you’re just getting better fuel economy, um, resale values tends to be much higher with a hybrid vehicle.

Yes. So there’s not a lot of risk there. So and it could see the revival of a better combustion engine as well. Yeah. Possibly. Okay. Let’s see what happens in the future. For now, though, we’re going to have a chat with Annette. Annette, good morning to you. Good morning, Annette. Good morning. Good morning.

Thank you for waiting. How can I help you? Could I get an insurance valuation on my car, please? Certainly. What have you got? It’s a 2020 Hyundai. How Highlander, 2020 NY 21 4 cylinder Turbo. Um, there’s, um, 36,796 kilometers on the, on the, so, uh, can I, is it a Hyundai? Hyundai Tucson, or, uh, Highlander? Yeah. Oh, sorry, yeah, Tucson.

That’s a Tucson Highlander. Alright. And it’s, it’s the diesel model, is it? No, no. That’s a Petra one, okay, uh, and it’s a 2020 model and it’s got 36, 000 kilometres. Alright, now, and you’re just wanting a figure for, for insurance? Okay, uh, and what colour is it Annette? It’s white, it’s got the um, sunroof and Panoramic sunroof and all of that.

Okay. Yeah. Alright, I think uh, for, now in 2020 there was a, uh, right at the end there was a change of shape. Do you know whether it’s the last of the, the It’s an MY21. MRI 21, okay. Yeah, yeah. Alright. Alright. For, for insurance purposes, uh, I think you should, uh, be having the, uh, value down at around the, the, in the really late 30s, so around that 38 to 39.

30, 38 to 39, yeah. I think they’d put a valuation on it for, um, what’s that value? Oh, sorry. Um, sorry. I can’t find it. They valued it for about 31, I think. 34, it might have been 34. Yeah, I think if it’s a new shape, I think it should be a little bit higher than that, if you can. Okay. Alright. Okay, so go, so go for about 39, pal.

38 to 39 I think would be 38, okay. Alright. 38, okay. No worries, for that. Okay, thank you, Annette. Thank you. Bye bye. Bye. Yes, and thank you for your call, Annette. Good one to start our program on. If you’d like to call us right now, the invitation is there for you to call right away on 5520 888. And it’s good morning to Morris.

Good morning, Morris. Yeah, good morning, gentlemen. Um, thank you. Thank you for gentlemen compliment. That’s a compliment. We haven’t had a gentleman one for a while. Thank you, Morris. You’re most welcome. Um, I’ve got a VW Multivan that I want to sell privately. It’s late 2016, uh, 95, 000 kilometers on it. Um, uh, Mojave.

They call it. Ah, short wheel base. Okay. And, uh, there just seems to be a big variance in the pricing when you look on, um, you know, the various, um, car sales. Yeah. That’s. Yeah, there is. It’s a, it’s a bit of a tricky one with these. Uh, that’s for sure. Yeah. Uh, and what have you, what have you seen out there, Morris, in terms of pricing?

Um, I’ve seen as low as. 30 and I’ve seen up in the forties. Yeah. You know? Yeah. See what, what’s happening in the market now there’s, there’s some people that are realizing that the market has changed, so they’re pricing the car, uh, where it should be. Yep. And then there’s others out there are still hoping to get what the market was, uh, was allowing, uh, 12 months ago.

Yep. That’s why there’s such a big variation in pricing. So if you really want sell it, you want to be at the lower end. So if yours is in really good condition, it sounds like, uh, yeah, it is. For 2016, uh, I wouldn’t be going any more than 35. Uh, okay. But, uh, but expect to have a little bit of negotiation on that too, because people know there’s a lot out there in the market not selling.

So it’s a, it’s become a bit of a buyer’s market. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It has. I had, I had a look a couple of years ago. And there was virtually none for sale. No, no. And then um, I parked the idea and then recently listed it and I’m surprised how many are for sale now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh well, I hope that information’s helped you and I hope you find a buyer soon.

I think that’s spot on actually. Yeah, you’ve confirmed my thoughts. Thank you Morris, appreciate it Paul. Thanks very much. Bye bye. Okay, bye. Alright, we’ve got uh, Ursula on the phone. Good morning Ursula. Uh, Good morning, Adam. I’ve spoken to you before. This is a bit of a sad call. I have a Forester. My husband just passed away.

Oh, I’m so sorry. so much. Monumental thing of changing the radio to my name. It’s been humongous. But I got a valuation from you once for this Forester, and they’re asking the value of the car. So it’s a 2007 Forester Columbia, um, automatic, and it’s got the radio. It’s a good condition. It’s 2236 is the part leads on it.

So, sorry, 223, 000, is that right? Yes, yes. All right. Uh, all right. And it’s a, so it’s a Subaru Forester and it’s a 2007 model, is it? So it’s about 17 years old. All right. Yeah, it’s bloody good still. Yeah, that’s good. That’s good. Uh, and, and it’s automatic. Uh, and what’s the condition like, Ursula? Pretty well.

Oh, it’s, it’s, the condition of the car is great, except I’ve scratched the side of the front side on the passenger side just a little bit on the, on the mud, on the, you know, the, okay. Oh, God, the . Yeah. All right. Now in terms of the, the valuation, you’re looking for valuation, um, to put down, to be able to transfer it, or is it.

Yes, that’s it, that’s it. Okay, alright. Look, for, for transfer purposes, uh, I think, uh, you could put the value down at around two to two and a half thousand dollars. Right. I originally said to the solicitor it might be 4000 because I think that’s what the garage said. That was the Centrelink valuation.

Yeah, I don’t, I think now, especially with a tougher market, I think if you, if you, that would be absolutely fine to put down, uh, to be, to put down. Probably around that two and a half I think would be the right figure to put down. And it would be the same thing if it’s a centre for the centre. Correct.

That’s right. So an insurance value would it be the same? No, insurance you need to be a bit more because you need to have enough to be able to go out and buy another one from a retailer. So around that four, four thousand is what you’d want to be for an insurance valuation. Right. You’re welcome. all for listening.

All right. Thank you so much. You’re welcome, Ursula. Again, um, Bye bye. The, the, the sheet of paper for the registration transfer is humongous. I know, it is. It is. It’s horrendous. Yes. so much again, Adam. All right. Bye now. You’re welcome, Ursula. Bye bye. We hope, we hope everything goes, everything goes well for you, okay?

Oh, I hope so too. Thank you so much for what you are doing. Bye now. You’re welcome. Bye bye. Okay, cheers. Thank you for your call. Bye. Hi now. Alright, we’ve got Elaine on the line. Good morning, Elaine. Good morning Adam. How are you this morning? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Good. Okay. I have a Lexus 2021 RX four 50 H Sports luxury.

Ooh, me too. I love that car. I love that car. . We’ve got 18,700 on the clock, right. And it’s white. What a beautiful car. Don’t sell it. Don’t sell it. Are you looking to sell it privately or are you just wanting it for insurance purposes? No, look, we’re looking to trade. We’re looking to possibly trade or sell privately.

We’re looking at another Lexus. All right. I understand. All right. So for, I’ll give you a private sale and, and trade value of what I think, uh, I think for, um, for private sale value, um, you should be expecting, uh, in the, in the early to mid seventies for, uh, But if you were to trade it in, I think it’s going to be about at least 10 percent less than that.

Okay. All right. Okay, that’s fine. That gives me an idea. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you for your call, Elaine. Okay. Bye bye. Yes. Thank you. Bye bye. Bye bye. Bye bye now. Thank you, Elaine. Thank you for your call. Okay, all our lines are free. Why not get on the line now and you’ll speak directly to Adam Hall on What’s Your Car Worth on 555 333 9000.

Two zero, double eight, double eight, you can do that right now, because all those lines are waiting for you to call, and we are as well. All right, Adam, uh, let’s move on. When I said they couldn’t, uh, well, we were talking about the 49 percent of, uh, EV owners in a 30, 000, uh, 30, 000 people study. Um, it may lead to a better combustion engine.

I was referring to a bigger, brighter, and louder V8. It’s interesting. You bring that up. I actually saw a video of a, Thank you. One of the high performance Teslas, and it was on a drag strip taking on a Ford Mustang. Yes. The Shelby Mustang. Yeah. And I’ve got to tell you that I was absolutely, it was incredible how much faster the Tesla was to the Mustang.

Oh, Adam, I don’t want to hear that. But what all the, uh, the audience said was that it would have been a horrible race if it was two Teslas beside each other because the sound of the V8 was incredible. So you, yes, you’ve got to adjust your approach to the two, haven’t you? Yes, that’s for sure. Yeah. Okay.

Let’s say, say good morning to Rod. Good morning, Rod. Good morning to Adam and, uh, good morning Wayne and, uh, happy Tuesday. Oh, Rod. for that, Rod. Appreciate it. How can I help you? Dear both guys, um, I’ve got a similar circumstance to Ursula. Um, my poor darling has passed away. Oh, I’m sorry. And, um, I, our words, yeah, thank you so much.

And, um, visit her car at some stage. Um, Adam, it’s, uh, 1996. I don’t know whether I’ve spoken to you well, anyway. Was this a Toyota Lexan, Rod? Well done, I think I spoke with you, um, maybe 12 months ago. I do remember that, that’s right. When she was unwell. Yes. Darling’s now passed, and it is surplus, but I’ll give you a call down the track.

But I’m just curious as to Good memory, mate. Thank you. Uh, no, it’s done 69, 000. That’s right. Immaculate condition. Hmm. Um, but I think from memory, I think from memory you said that wasn’t a very, a car that was in demand. Not a, not a collectible car. That’s right. Um, the, the Toyota Lexum just wasn’t something that just had that.

sort of collectible following. Um, the, the benefit with yours is it’s, it’s got such low kilometers. So there’s still value there. Uh, if it was a 1996 car and it had 200, 000 kilometers on it, there wouldn’t be any value at all, really. But 69, 000 kilometers certainly makes, makes a difference. Um, I think now that.

sort of private sale value. It’s just a much tougher market now. Uh, I think around that sort of three to 4, 000 range is, is probably right. But, but let’s, um, I can talk to you, uh, later on and we can have a, have a further chat about it if you wish. Yeah, I’d be very grateful. I’ve got your number in my phone actually, uh, from 12, 18 months ago.

So, I’ll give you a call when we’ve got all things settled up. That, that’d be great. And, uh, maybe you can help me, uh, with regards to, uh, selling it. Getting something else. Anyway, thank you so much to, uh, for both of you. You’re welcome, Rod. Thank you. Thank you, Rod. All the best. Okay, all right, uh, invitation to you.

We’ve got about five minutes to go. You can call us right now on 55208888. I’ve got another call here showing. I think we’ve got another Rod. It looks like it is a second Rod. If it’s not a second Rod, we’ll move on to something else. But, uh, is it good morning to Rod? Good morning, Rod. Good morning, Rod. Good morning, mate.

Okay. Uh, I’ve just got a 2021 Kia Seltos safety pack. With, uh, thirty five thousand K’s, in very good condition, but somebody peed upon it about six months ago. Oh, no. I don’t know how to explain it. Why do these people do that? What enjoyment could they possibly get out of it? Oh, that’s terrible. Well, possibly they can’t afford a car.

Yeah, that’d probably be right, Rod. They don’t take it from other people. It’s a set of grapes, perhaps, are they? Yeah, yeah. Hmm, alright. Uh, and what colour is it, Rod?

Like an orangey colour. I can’t remember the proper name. Okay. I think I know the colour. I think, yeah. It’s like a very soft orange. Yes, yes, I know. If you were round, yeah. Alright, so it’s got 35, 000km and just a stripe across the bonnet. Well, it’s about 100mm long, so I guess you’d have to spray the whole bonnet.

Yes, yes, that’s right. Uh, now would you like a private sale value as well as a trade value? Probably just a trade, please. Alright. Uh, I think, uh, for trade purposes, uh, I think you’re going to be looking around the 16, 000 to 17, 000 mark for it. Right. Now, if I was to get it fixed myself, would that price increase?

I mean, if it’s going to cost 1, 000 for me to to get it fixed. Is the garage going to take 2, 000 off for them to get it fixed, if you know what I mean? Yeah, look, generally a dealer can fix a car for less than what you can, because they, they have the volume of work that goes through a panel shop, so I wouldn’t, it’s only when you’re selling privately that you want to make sure that the car’s presented right, but if you’re thinking 1, 000 to fix it, it’s probably 500 or 600 to the dealer, so I wouldn’t be too concerned about that.

Okay. Okay, great. Thanks very much for your help. You’re welcome. Thank you, Rod. Yeah, thank you. Bye. Yeah, thank you, Rod. Okay, we’ve got around four minutes to go. We might just go to a short break and then you come back.

And, it’s free. No fee for taking your car away. Yes. It’s now easier and friendlier to sell your car to Adam Hall. Check out the real Adam Hall. Log on to Adam Hall. Buy my car.com au or call 0 4 0 4 2 9 0. Okay, our invitation to you once again is for you to call right now because all our lines are free and we’ve got a huge three minutes to go.

Come on, let’s come, let’s come home strong on 55208888 for a valuation, a real time valuation. on your motor car from Adam Hall. Okay, Adam, um, the hybrid top five. Yes, I thought we might talk about, uh, the cheapest hybrid, uh, cars out there available because there’s, there’s a lot of interest and the market is growing so much with hybrid sales.

Uh, so the, the cheapest cars have got the top five. So in fifth spot, uh, is the Toyota Corolla, uh, that’s 32, 110 and that’s plus the on road cost. So you’ve got to allow about Uh, three to 4,000 there. So you’re getting close to 36,000 for a, for a hybrid Corolla. Mm-Hmm. . Um, the Yaris, uh, cross is the, comes in next.

Uh, that’s 30,900 plus on road costs, so around 35 on the road. Uh, the Havel Jolene Hybrid, which is a kind of a mid-size. SUV, they’re 32,990, but that’s on road. So it includes all your on road costs, uh, then, uh, then we go down to the Toyota Yaris, uh, that’s 28, 500, um, plus the on road costs, so you’re getting to around 32, 000, uh, and then the cheapest car out there now is the new MG3 hybrid, which is the little compact hatchback, uh, but, uh, 27, 990 plus on road costs.

So, so you cannot get a. A new hybrid vehicle under 30, 000 at this stage. So it’s certainly a big jump from where they used to be. It is a big, a very big jump. Yes, and we know one Tesla model that won’t be coming to Australia. No, well, apparently, uh, uh, the Tesla Cybertruck that, uh, You’re so in awe of the beautiful shape, uh, that did a bit of a tour a couple of months ago down, uh, down in, in Australia.

Uh, apparently it won’t be coming to Australia anytime soon, and apparently it’s our Australian design rules that prevent it from coming here, because I’d certainly hate to be hit by something like that. Definitely. It would be nasty. Okay. All right. We’ve got, uh, Maria on the line. Good morning, Maria. Oh, hi.

How can I help you? Maria? Maria, before we go, can you turn your radio down? Okay. Hang on, . Okay. Now off together. Just turn it off. That’ll be the best way. Okay, and Maria Maria’s back now. Oh, hang on. Right. Okay. Thank you. Maria. How can I help you? Uh, yeah, so I’ve got a Subaru Impreza 2021 and it’s just on 10,000 K and that’s I it private.

Alright. Now is it a hatchback or a sedan? A sedan. Sedan. All, and it’s a 2021. Uh, it’s just the base model. Is it not a top of the range or anything like that? Well, no, it’s got all the features, alright, it’s not top of the range. It doesn’t have leather trim and sunroof and all of that? No, not that. Okay, alright.

They’re pretty well equipped, um, just as a standard car, that’s for sure. Alright, uh, so it’s got 10, 000 kilometres and for a private sale value, is that correct? Uh, yeah. Yeah, private, yeah. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 23, 000 to 24, 000 for it.

Right. Alright. Not much. Okay. I was, I was hoping a bit more, be worth more because it’s fantastic inside, well, it’s brand new. Yeah. It’s just been a real, uh, an adjustment in the market over the last couple of months and it, you probably, even a couple of months ago it would have been, Maybe 2, 000 more than that, uh, but it’s, uh, there’s definitely been an adjustment.

Okay. It’s actually, uh, it’ll be, uh, Three years next month, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, yeah. That’s good. Thanks very much. You’re welcome, Maria. I appreciate your call. Have a lovely day. Yeah, thank you for that, and you have a good one too. It’s a nice, cosy day here on the coast. Just a couple of quick ones.

You might be saying, gee, do you want to come out and see my Zeta soon? Before we talk about that. Okay, we’ll squeeze that in later. All right, here’s our final call for this morning. We’ve got Alexan, I believe. Good morning. Alexis. Hi. Oh, it was on the, on the screen is Alexa and I thought, gee, that’s a, that’s a, that’s a very unusual name.

Thank you, Alexis. How can I help you?

I see. Um, see in the market, it dropped like a rock and I know how to even, if it’s even a point to put it on the market. Okay. Um. Um. It’s a 2017, um, slash 18, like it was complied I think the last week of December 2017, if that makes any sense. Yeah, it does, yeah. Um, and it’s a, um, Hyundai Santa Fe, I think it’s Elite.

Elite, okay, and how many kilometres has it travelled? We’ve got 128. Okay, and what did you pay for it, um, 12 months ago? I don’t know. I paid 28 9, 9 9, I think. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That, that car. Now, um, the, the maximum you’d be able to ask for that would be in the, maybe in the really early twenties, but that’s, that would be, um, that would be the maximum.

Yes. So I had it in my mind. Well, I was gonna try and put it up for about two. 25, 000 with some wiggle room to go early 20s. Yeah. I really wouldn’t want to drop below 20, 000 because that’s like a 10, 000 loss. Yeah, I understand. In 12 months that I have never experienced. Hey, um, Alexis, we’re going to have to move Pardon me, we have to move on because we’re running out of time.

But we appreciate your call, Alexis. I hope you sell it soon. Okay, bye bye now. Okay, we’ll go to Ron and this has to be a quick one. Have to be a quick one. Good morning, Ron. How can I help you? Uh, good morning, Adam. Uh, it’s Ron Gould. I’ve got a Sedona motorhome. That’s a quick one. Ron, uh, I’ll have to, uh, talk to you another time about the motorhome because I don’t actually value motorhomes.

Don’t you? No, I don’t. I’m sorry. You don’t have any autonomy. Only cars. Yes. But we appreciate your call. All right. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Ron. Yeah. We can’t go into motorhomes yet. All right, Adam. Just very quickly. Thank you so much to be back and we appreciate it. And we’ll look forward to you next week.

You are listening to four CRBs interviews and talkback series. What’s your car Worth? Is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new easy way to sell your car. Yes, uh, but the time now is for what’s your car worth? 10 o’clock every Tuesday. And that’s the easy way to do it on a Tuesday.

You can have a chat with Adam Hall here at 89.3 on double 5 2 0 double eight. Double eight. And if you’re joining us for the first time, this is a. Very simple formula for our program that’s been going for many many years. And that is, Adam will give you a real time valuation as soon as you call up.

There’s no waiting around, he gets it straight out of his head, and he’s got years and years of experience to be able to do that. And It’s so important, because as we say, every week this market continues to be hugely influenced by, uh, electric cars, change in marketing practices, discounts here, no more discounts there, it changes radically, and it’s a very good morning to you, Adam.

Good morning. Gee, you’re making my mind really . It sounds, it sounds like gloom, gloom, gloom, doesn’t it? And I think to myself sometimes, gee, we repeat the, the same warning, uh, at each program start, but with, uh, can I ask you a question that we haven’t spoken about Sure. At currently here, uh, in Queensland, uh, the car, the number of cars that are available for sale.

Would you have that figure with that? What would be on car sales, for example? On car sales? Right now, it’s now at a quarter of a million. So a quarter of a million motorcars are up for sale and you’re entering that market to sell your car. You need to have something that is good value and a value at good market levels.

That’s what it comes down to. That’s, that’s right. See, we talked, we were talking about these numbers and they’ve been steadily rising for a long time. But that’s probably the last couple of years. It’s really started to move up. I’ve never seen 250. thousand cars for sale. That is a huge number. It is a big number.

So you’re right. You have to make sure that you price correctly in the market. And a lot of the guides that these websites are giving they’re outdated now. And that’s something I was just about to close on. And if you’re thinking of selling your car and thinking, Oh, I can do it myself. I don’t have to worry about it.

It’s, that’s not the point. The point is that the, the information you’re getting Mm. Is old. Correct. When you look at websites and books, they’re not up to date with what’s happening in today’s real world. That’s right. And we’re the only place in Australia where you can get the real world valuation on your motor car.

And Adam Hall can do that for you this morning. And you can call and talk to Adam. Right now on 5520 8888 for a valuation for resale on your big beast or your little beast that you’ve got in the garage. Right now that number is ready to go. 5520 8888. And we’ve got a bit of homework to do. We do. There was a couple of, uh, tough ones last week.

A couple of, uh Historic Australian cars, which is not something that I see every day, and a little bit tricky at a price right now because the market has changed a bit with those classic cars. Yes. We were talking a lot in the last couple of years about some of these auction prices that, uh, Historic cars have sold for, uh, so, and there’s not as much of that activity happening now because a lot of people are just holding onto them because the market has softened a little.

But Steve was the first, uh, one, he had a, uh, HG GDS 350 Monaro, the Bathurst Monaro, and they are probably one of the rarest cars out there. Uh, and that combination with the, uh, being the 350, uh, Would be a incredible one to put to auction if you’re all just to keep it. That’s just to sit in it. Listen to the engine.

That’s right The last one that I could see that had sold it was a while ago, but it was 320, 000 plus plus an auction fee But it also depends There’s cars that have sold for more But they’ve got race history. So maybe a famous racing driver is has been in that Uh, and driven it in Bathurst or, or whatever, so they can, it can vary a bit, but, uh, so it is a, it is a rough idea, but who knows what a car like that would go for at auction.

So I hope that bit of information’s helped you, Steve. I know it’s not completely accurate, but, um, uh, I’m hoping you’re just going to keep it anyway. Yes, but at the end of the day, the avenue for the best way to, uh, sell, it would be via auction. A car like that, definitely, because, uh, they, they do all their marketing.

They get it out there to the right people right around Australia. And sometimes these cars are sent overseas as well. So you’ve got a really big audience. So all you need is two people that really want it. And bang, there goes your, there’s your auction. That’s right. And they’ll keep competing until they’ve, you know, I’ve got no money left.

Now, now there’s, now, now as a segue, cars and number plates have something in common. Oh, absolutely. You want just jump to the number plate story? Oh, I can do that. Sure. Okay. These prices constantly, they really surprise me that number plates can sell for more than what a really expensive car is. . Right.

More than a home. Yeah. Well, yesterday I, I read a story about, uh, there’s a, there’s a. plate going to auction. It’s a Victorian historic plate and it’s the number 20. Yes. So it requires less metal to make it. But it’s currently at an online auction and the story that I read said that it was at time of writing it was at 1.

3 million. That was a pretty current story and I went into the auction site to see whether it had changed at all so I could give you some accurate information. But that That plate, uh, from yesterday was 1, 800, 000, nearly 2, 000, 000, nearly 2, 000, 000. It’s just incredible, isn’t it? But there’s these, uh, there’s, uh, it still hasn’t, uh, hit the record for a two digit price.

Um, plate. There was another one sold in 2022, number 14, uh, that sold for 2. 27 million, uh, and the Australian record for a plate is the New South Wales number one, that sold for 11. 505 million. Uh, I’m going to go out and check my number plate and see what I can do. It’s just incredible. It is. Amazing amounts of money.

The world record, uh, for a, for a number plate is Dubai number plate which is number P7 and that sold for 22. 3 million. Oh, there’s no explanation. Is there? Not at all. All right, that’s our little chat to open our program. Your turn now. 55208888 is the number for you to jump in and get a real time valuation on your motorcar or revaluation for Centrelink or insurance purposes.

We can give you the information. All you’ve got to do is dial 552088. Two zero double eight double eight. Okay, Adam. Um, we might talk about that. Uh, there’s another, uh, homework one that I had to do as well. Uh, it was a 1971, uh, model, uh, Fairmont GS wagon, a six cylinder one, the two 50. Uh, that was for David.

Uh, again, David, not a lot of these have been sold of late. The V8 versions are certainly more desirable, but being a GS wagon, it’s a pretty rare car as well. From what I could see, the ones that have sold in recent times were in the 25, 000 range. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it had sold for a bit more than that now.

So I hope that’s a bit of a guide. But again, that’s a car that’s a bit more expensive. Definitely, if you’re wanting to sell it, put it to auction, and who knows where it will get to. Where it will end up. Okay, now it is your turn. Yeah, this is an invitation to you, our listener, to get into the show now, and you can do that by calling 55208888 is the number, and we have our first call.

Good morning. Good morning, Pauline. Morning. Hi, Pauline, how are you? I’m very well. Thank you. How are you? Very well. Thank you. How can I help you? I would like a price if possible, please. I have a 2013 Mazda 3 NIO, which is a four door automatic. I’ve got nine months registration on it. I’ve got 65, 818 kilometers on it.

All right. It’s in very good condition. It’s a white exterior and a dark grey interior. Dark grey, okay. Uh, now, I’m assuming, uh, being, uh, 2013, there was two different models in 2013, but for most of the year, uh, it was called the BL Series 2. Uh, and then That’s correct. So that’s BL. BL, alright, the BL model, so before the new model came out.

Uh, and, uh, So it sounds like it’s in very good order as well. Very good order, yes. Okay, alright. Now, would you like a private sale price as well as a trading price? Yes, please, yes. Alright. I don’t really want a trading price, no. Alright, I’ll just want to be able to sell the car. I’ll just give you a Uh, so, for a private sale value, so that’s if you were to Um, go out there and try and sell it yourself on a website or something like that.

Uh, I think somewhere in that sort of 9, 000 to 10, 000 range would be the right price. Uh, and, and as just a, a straight outright sale, it’s probably going to be about 1, 500 less than that. Oh, okay. Alright? Alright. Okay, well thank you very much. You’re welcome. And I’m glad to have been your first caller. Ah, Pauline.

I appreciate your call. Okay. Okay, thank you. Bye bye. Yes, thank you Pauline. You were our first caller, but I’m sure we’re going to get many more because it’s coming up to 15 minutes past 10. You know our program finishes at 10. 30 when the local news goes to air. So, uh, get in now, 5520. Double 8, double 8 is the number for you to talk directly with Adam Hall for a valuation on your motor car.

We’ll just go to a short break and be right back. Cost of living continues to impact our home budget, but selling your car is now easier. More effective, and has zero associated costs when you deal with Adam Hall. Just one call, and Adam will come to you. There is no call out fee. There is no roadworthy fee.

There are no mechanical costs. And after a friendly chat, there’s instant cash for your car, and no fee for taking your car away. Yes, it’s now easier, and friendlier, to sell your car to Adam Hall. Check out the real Adam Hall. Log on to AdamHallBuyMyCar. com. au Or call 0 4 0 4 2 9 0 6 1 7. Yes, and we’ll repeat that number before we go off air this morning, but for now, the number for you to call to talk to Adam Hall is double 5 2 0 8 8 8 8.

You can go to it right now and get directly onto the man. Yes, Adam. You’re the man. Thank you. You’re the man. I don’t know about that. We might, uh, go into a market update. We’ve, uh, I had that come through. Propulsion. Propulsion. You want to start with propulsion? Start with propulsion. Yeah, it’s a, it’s a pretty important one now because we’re seeing a real shift.

A battle. In what’s happening in that area. So these, uh, stats are from, uh, last month. Uh, so petrol actually had a pretty big decline, probably the biggest decline that I’ve seen so far. Uh, but still the dominant one. Propulsion vehicle, uh, it was down by 13. 5%. So 45, 262 petrol cars were sold. Uh, diesel came in second, uh, 34, 479.

That was actually up. By 7. 4%. Uh, and then hybrid. Hybrid is this big mover. So that’s where a lot of petrol buyers are moving to the hybrid. Uh, there was 16, 218 hybrids sold. Uh, which was an increase on last year of 113%. And didn’t Toyota Uh, last week make an announcement that, uh, sole, uh, combustion engines will be no more.

Yes. But the hybrid combustion mix is the one that they’ll be focusing on. Absolutely. So where, uh, the, uh, where possible. So everything will be available in hybrid. Yes. There’s still a couple of variations to that, like some of those, uh, so like those Land Cruiser utes and cars like that, they won’t come in a hybrid yet.

Yeah. But everything that has a hybrid option now, the petrol will be dropped. Yes. So the time is coming. Yeah, it’s certainly coming, but, uh, but it’s, I think the big surprise for a lot of manufacturers is that hybrid has been the preferred choice over electric and a lot of people are preferring to move to hybrid because it doesn’t really impact the way they get around.

You still go to a service station and put petrol in, you just go there, less often, and the battery charges itself. You don’t have to plug anything in. And that’s the big difference. That’s right. So nothing really changes apart from better fuel economy. Yes, exactly. And the other thing, uh, hybrids are just, resale value is, is been very, very strong.

Yes, and consistent. There are no ups and downs. So, electric was, uh, uh, was up 10. 5%, so a big improvement. A better month for electric, uh, and the plug in hybrids, only 1, 373 of those, uh, but there’s still an increase on, a big increase on what it was last year. Hmm. Hmm. Okay, the market continues to change as we continue to speak about it.

Alright, 55208888 is the number, 20 past 10 here at your station, 89. 3. You’re invited to call and talk to Adam Hall for a valuation on your motor car right now. Okay. Double five, two zero, double eight, double eight is the number. Everybody’s going easy on me today. Well, yes, you are getting an easy run. I’m sure they’ll, uh, they’ll be off and running now to the phone to, uh, get onto you, Adam.

Okay. You’re back to market update. So we’ve got a lot to go through, uh, so we’ll, we’ll start with the, the numbers, uh, total sales for, uh, Last month were 111, 099, uh, it’s a very big month, but May is always quite a big month uh, for car sales. Uh, it was an increase on last year of 5. 1%, so a little bit more of a modest increase on what we’ve seen in the last few months.

Uh, Toyota. Uh, finished number one, uh, again, 23, 389 Toyotas sold in one month. It’s a very big month, uh, that was up by 27. 5 percent on last year. So this is, uh, uh, a lot of these hybrid vehicles that, uh, where they dominate. They’re catching up on a lot of those awards. Backorders, backorders are still through.

Uh, Ford, uh, finished at number two. Uh, 8, 806. That’s, uh, starting to become, uh, fairly common that Ford’s finishing number two. Where for the last few years Mazda has been in the lead. in second spot. So Ford’s going well there. They were up 40. 9 percent on last year. Very big month for them. Yep. Uh, Mazda was just over 8, 000.

They had a decline of 5. 6%. So that’s a bit of a concern for Mazda in a rising market. They’re, they’re dropping down. Uh, Kia finished in fourth spot. Uh, they did pretty well. 7, 504, uh, Hyundai was 6, 495, they, they declined by, uh, 8. 2%, uh, and then Mitsubishi was in sixth spot, uh, and they had a, they had a steady, uh, rise as well, 6, 409 cars.

Just wanted to men also mentioned, uh, Tesla, uh, they went back into the top 10 again, uh, they, Uh, sold 3567. So that was an increase of 20. 3%. Maybe the, the drop in, because they’ve had some massive price drops. Yes, yeah. That’s obviously starting to have a, a positive impact, just not a positive impact on people that, that, that.

Well, that’s right. Yes. The impact is on their resale. Yeah. Another factor was, uh, small cars. Uh, small car, uh, sales were up by 28. 8%, which is really, that’s a, that’s a big move. And I, I wonder whether that’s got a lot to do with, uh, people being concerned about fuel prices and, uh. The uncertainty.

Uncertainty. That they’re, they’re going more to, Well, I don’t know where we’re going at the moment, and, uh, I’m now getting very concerned that we would be setting a milestone for having only one call to watch a car. And, uh, I can’t think of any reason why our listeners haven’t, uh, jumped in. They’re probably in for it.

Thrilled with your market update and propulsion categories, where is all this going to? It’s getting too confusing. But look, seriously, our number, we’re down to seven minutes to go in our program, 55208888 is the number for you to get a valuation of your motor car. As we’ve already spoken about, quarter of a million cars for sale currently on CarSales, the major website that features used cars.

That’s a lot of motor cars, and you don’t want to be sitting in that quarter of a million waiting to sell your car. You want to sell your car as fast as possible with a fair price. And that’s what Adam can give you if you call right now on 5520 8888. At least get it for a guide as to what you’ve got your car on for, on the market for.

It’ll help you out. 5520 8888 is the number. Just remember Centrelink appraisals and insurance. I’m getting a lot of calls. Calls outside the program. Now people asking me about that as well, that is also a, a feature, a unique feature of our program for you to get a, a revaluation for Centrelink and insurance purposes.

And let’s not talk about insurance. Gee, you’ve gotta get the right information there as well. double 5 2 0, double eight. Double eight is the number. You know it. Go, go and give it a call now and you’ll talk to Adam Hall for a valuation. Okay. Adam Gee, A ca, a Cadillac, an electric, an ev. Cadillac. That’s right.

We’ve, we’ve always, I saw a few Cadillacs at the, uh, at, uh, uh, the, I’ve lost the name of it. Rocks on. Cooley Rocks. Cooley Rocks. I saw a few Cadillacs driving around and they’re enormous cars. Yeah. But, uh, the Cadillac have confirmed that, or General Motors have confirmed that the Cadillac is coming to Australia, but it won’t be anything like what we remember of Cadillacs.

Uh, they’re going to be. Uh, the first one’s going to be a medium sized SUV, but it’s electric only, so about the size of a, say, a RAV4 or maybe a little bit larger. That’s called the Optic, I believe, but there’s also, and that’s going to, I believe it’s going to start in the 85, 000 sort of range, so I guess in the electric car world, that’s about where they are.

Hmm. Uh. quite a luxury car though. And then, uh, next year, there’ll be another, uh, larger one coming. So more like the Escalade, the Cadillac Escalade sort of size, big electric SUV as well. You know, classic cars, uh, they’re all getting redefined, aren’t they? They really are. Yes. Because that’s not really a name that you associate with.

With an SUV. SUV or electric or it’s. We’ve got a, certainly got a different picture of what Oh, look, I just don’t know. Alright, we have another caller. We’ve got Dave on the line. Good morning, Dave. Mate, just, uh, I’m thinking about buying a Toyota Land Cruiser, mate. I’m just trying to figure out what sort of price I should be paying.

Alright, what is Probably about a 99 BX. Uh, 2019, do you mean? Oops. Yeah, 2009X, sorry. That’s okay. VX. VX, okay. And, what sort of kilometres do you want to stay under? About 120, say. 120, okay. Alright, so if you stay around that sort of mark, for 2019, I think you should be expecting to pay in the 80 to 85 range.

Yeah. Yep, alright, uh, that’s good. Okay mate, have they dropped back a little bit at least? They have, they’ve definitely dropped back, so I wouldn’t be paying any, any more than that for, for a kilometre. You’ll pay more for something that’s got lower kilometres, uh, but if you, if you’re going for something around 120 or under, uh, I think about 80 to 85 is the right price.

Oh, good on you, Adam. Thanks very much, Eddie. You’re welcome, Dave. All the best. Righto, bye. Bye bye. And it’s a good morning to Peter. Peter, go ahead. Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Adam. Um, I’ve got a 2018 Mazda CX 3. It’s in that dark, um, like, um, uh, uh, dark colored ones, and it’s got 51, 000 Mmm. Just over 51,000 on the clock.

51,000. It’s, it’s, uh, an automatic, yeah, automatic. Alright. Uh, do you know whether it’s the base model or is it a up spec one? It’s the sec. The second one up. Second one. Okay. Whatever that was. Alright. It should be the, uh, the max. Alright. Uh, so it’s got 57,000 kilometers and how’s it condition? 51. Oh, 51.

Alright, 51. Yep. It’s in pretty good condition. Pretty good condition. Alright. Would you like a private sale price as well as a trading price? Both if I can have it, please. Both, alright. I think if you were to sell that one privately, you should be expecting in the very late So around that 18 to 19 mark for it, uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about two to three thousand less than that.

Oh, thanks Adam. That’s about what I thought it was. Great. Thank you. Thank you, Peter. Appreciate your call. Bye bye. Bye bye. Yeah. Cheers, Peter, and thank you for your call there. All right. We’ve got, uh, exactly, uh, two minutes left. Oh, close enough to three minutes. I can squeeze in a minute or two. If you’d still like to get on to Adam Hall, it’s 55208888 is the number.

And a little confusing information that’s come through the media in terms of charging your EV batteries because we were always taught a different way to charge the batteries. Well, I was reading a story about the fastest charging electric cars and, uh, I believe the fastest one is the Hyundai Ioniq. And people want to know about this now because going from filling your car up in, you know, a couple of minutes to having to wait, uh, to, to charge a battery, uh, it’s a big change.

It is. It’s a big change. But to, to go from, so the fastest charging car Hyundai Ioniq, it goes from 10 percent to 80%. Uh, and this is how they, they, they work it out. Um, but it doesn’t in 18 minutes. So you’ve got to stop. Sit there for 18 minutes and it’ll charge it to 80%. The reason why they say 80% is that they recommend for battery longevity that you only charge the battery to 80%.

So it’s not putting too much pressure on the battery. Yeah. Which is kind of, uh, contrary to, contrary to what we’ve, what we’ve known with their phones and Yes. And other things. Yeah. Uh, so. I guess it, like, waiting 18 minutes to charge your battery for, for, to 80 percent, uh, it’s like going to the service station and only putting 80 percent of the, of the tank.

Yes, it’s just, uh, it just doesn’t work that way, does it? No, no, it doesn’t. It just doesn’t work that way. Mm. Well, look, uh, we’re, um, we’re coming up to the to the final mark. 10. 30 is just around, now 10. 30 right on the money and we do have a caller. Gee look, it was a good delay there. Go ahead, go ahead Daryl.

Good morning Daryl. Good morning, how are you going? Very well, how can I help you? Uh, I have a 2009 i30 Hyundai, done about a hundred and twenty, a hundred and twenty five thousand clicks. One twenty five, alright. Pretty tidy. Alright, and it’s a, it’s a hatch, not a wagon. Hatchback hatch. Yeah, it’s a hatch.

Yeah. All right. And it’s automatic. Is it Darrel Bo? Yes. All right. And what color is it? Uh, silver, blue, you know. Uh, metallic blue. Light. Metallic blue. I know the color. I know the color. All right. Now, would you like a, a private sale figure as well as a trading figure? Yes, thank you. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting around the five and a half to 6,000 for it.

Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’d be a couple of thousand less than that. Thank you, Adam. You’re welcome, Daryl. I appreciate your call. Yes, we do appreciate your call, Daryl. Thank you so much, mate. Cheers. Have a good day. All right, uh, we’re, we’re voluntarily over time now, so thank you, Adam, for your time this morning.

You are listening to four CRBs interviews and talkback series. What’s your car Worth? Is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new easy way to sell your car. Yes, it is the new easy way to sell your car, and the other way is for the next 30 minutes. If you would like to contact Adam Hall, we’ve got him right here.

Yes, we’re greedy on a Tuesday morning. We don’t want him walking the streets, uh, and helping people out. He’s here with me in the studio, and it’s a very good morning to Adam Hall. Good morning, Wayne. Thanks for having me back. Yes, it’s warmer in here. It is warmer, and it wouldn’t be a Tuesday if we didn’t have What’s Your Car Worth on, and I’m sure all our listeners agree with us on that.

We’ve helped a lot of listeners over the years, Adam, and, uh, uh, your record continues to be, uh, a highlight of the program. That is that. Uh, mind of yours, which is full of mathematics and numbers and, and your little scrapbook there. There’s, they’ve become features of the, uh, of the show. I couldn’t do without them.

But there’s no computers and there’s no books for Adam. And that means you get a real time valuation on your motor car. And that is quite an important aspect of selling your motor car. what price you put it on for. It’s a key to you getting in and out as quickly as possible because this market can fluctuate significantly in 24 hours.

So this is the place to be. 5520 888 is the number for you to call if you’re planning to get a price on your car for a trade in or a private sale, uh, if you’re going to an auction. If you’re still, if you’re so, if you’re looking through the websites and, uh, wanting to buy a particular motor car, it would be a good idea for you to, uh, let Adam know what the car is you’re looking for and he can give you a guide as to the price you should be looking for.

So, a lot of reasons why you need to give us a call this morning. on 5520 888 is the number for you to get on the phone right now. Okay, Adam, um, well, look, we, we, we talk about them just about every week these days and that’s the, the good ol EV. We do. I wonder if they’ll get, oh they will be, they’ll be in the market now for, uh, forever and ever and ever, but the market conditions are starting to, uh, change somewhat.

They are, they’ve, uh, there’s definitely a big, been a big change in electric car sales in particular. Yes. Uh, for, for about every month for the last few years, uh, electric car sales increased month on month. And uh, 5 percent decline. In electric car sales and now there’s been a lot of reports about manufacturers that are, that are stuck with a lot of these new vehicles, which if you go back 12 months ago, you could not get an electric car anywhere and anything that you ordered, you had to wait for it.

Uh, Tesla in particular, there was a channel seven news story last night that highlighted the Tesla has 6, 000. Tesla’s sitting on at ports around Australia, and 12 months ago you, you had to order a Tesla and wait for it to come in, now there’s 6, 000 of them on the docks. So it probably explains a lot of what we were talking about last week with discounting that’s going on.

Yeah. It costs a lot of money to have cars sitting around, not, you know, Uh, so that’s why they’re starting to discount their, their cars, but it’s not, not good news for people that bought a car six months ago, even one month ago, because, uh, it’s certainly going to put pressure on the pricing of the new ones.

Yes. And of course, then that, that ripple effect goes into where if you wanted to do a resale on your, on the, on your EV, your pricing there also is going to suffer. Yeah. Well, the, the, I think I talked about the statistic a few weeks ago that. Um, the electric car prices are coming back at triple, um, the devaluing at triple near the rate of a petrol car.

Yes, alright, well we’ve got our first callers on the line, and it’s a good morning, good morning to Shailene, Shailene, go ahead, what’s your card that you’d like to put to Adam? Good morning Shailene. Hi, hi, hi, how are you? Very well thank you. Good morning. Yeah, um, Adam, you helped us once, uh, recently last year with selling of our Mazda 3, um, but I’m, I’m ringing about, um, my daughter’s, um, car at the moment.

She’s wanting to sell and, um, buy a new car. She’s got a Nissan Elgrand 2008, um, Highway Star 2. 5 litre. Okay, this is one of the um, these were a personal uh, private import. Uh, they weren’t actually sold in Australia. They’ve got uh, enormous names, don’t they? There’s, there’s That’s a mouthful, that name.

Yeah, um, it’s got black leather seats. The middle, the middle seats rotate around, and she’s got a professionally installed built in DVD player from the ceiling for the kids to watch on. Okay. Yeah. Alright, and it’s a 2008 model, is that right? Yeah, and it’s white. White. Do you know how many kilometres it’s travelled?

Mm hm. Oh, um, I do, I’ve got a, um, I, I would have to find it. What, what I might do, it’s around 120. Alright. What I might do, shalene I’ll, ’cause I, I know, I know exactly who you are and I’ve got your details. I’ll give you a call and, and let you know exactly what I think it’s worth, but I’ll double check those kilometers with you as well.

Yeah, sure. And also, um, your thoughts on, um, what she’s, well, you can discuss that, I guess, when you ring me back. Yeah. She’s looking at, um, buying, uh, one of those Cherry. Oh, the, uh, the Emoto 5. The Emoto 5, yeah. Yeah. Okay, alright, we’ll have a One of your thoughts, what they’re Alright, then I’ll wait for you to call.

Alright, thank you Shailene, I appreciate your call. Thank you. Bye bye. Okay, bye. You might just mention your thoughts on the uh, because we’re, the uh, Chinese market is looking at putting 12 new cars into the market next week and the Chery is one of their, Lead manufacturing brands that they’ve got. They are a big brand in, in China and they’ve got a lot of sub brands underneath that.

The, the cherry, look, Chinese cars, the reason they’re selling so well is price and the quality is improved a lot. I guess the, the concern that I have, um, is, is still resale. I think that’s going to be when we’re moving into a market where we’ve overstocked with cars. And it’s normally the tried and true brands that hold that, that holds pretty well.

Uh, and a lot of the, the Chinese manufacturers, they’ve sent a lot of cars into the country and I’ve seen a lot of discounting starting there as well. And look, the, the cherry and motor five, uh, Great looking car, uh, it’s got a lot of features, pretty good value for money, and you get a good warranty as well.

Yeah, okay, well you’ve got to take the, some, some good with the, some bad, rather, with the good. Alright, it’s good morning to, uh, to Michael. Michael, what’s your vehicle? Good morning, Michael. Yes, good morning. I’ve got a, um, 2014 Mazda 3 Sedan, which we bought, um, new, and it’s got, um, 77, 000 kilometers on it, still in good condition, never had to do anything other than the servicing, um, and, um, We’re just wondering what sort of money we should ask for that, either as a trade in or would it be better to sell it privately?

Alright, I understand. Uh, there’s a couple more questions. Uh, the colour of your car? White in color, good color. Uh, and is it the base model? Just the, is it the NEO or the, or the MAX model? Do you know? No, it’s the NEO. NEO, alright, great. Alright, well the, the kilometers are pretty low for 2014, so it will be worth more than the average.

Uh, private sale is always higher, uh, but there’s a, There’s a long process in doing that. So I’ll give you both prices, um, private sale in trade. Uh, I think if you were to sell, um, privately, uh, you should be expecting around the, the 13 to 14 mark for it. Uh, and if you were to, if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about two and a half thousand less than that.

Okay. So probably 11, 11 and a half. Correct. That’s right. Okay. All right. Rightio. Thank you very much. You’re welcome, Michael. Thank you for your call. Yes, Michael, thank you for your call, and we’ve got Pam up next, and if you would like to join the lineup, all our lines are now free, and that number for getting a valuation on your motorcar is 5520 8888.

Okay, Pam, what’s your vehicle? Good morning, Pam. Hello. Good morning, Pam. Good morning. How can I help you? Yes, I’m just, this is for my son. I see. He’s got a great wall, the Havel. The Havel, alright. Um, do you know what model Havel it is? Yes, it’s, it’s a X200 wagon. White. White. And it’s, uh, 2011. Ah, 2011, alright.

And 140, 800. 140833 K’s on it. Alright, do you know whether it’s a 4 wheel drive model? Uh, I don’t think it’s 4 wheel drive. Or maybe it is, I don’t know. Alright, I’ll assume it’s a, I’ll assume it is. Uh, 140, 000 and how’s the condition Pam? Is it reasonably well? It’s okay. Alright. It’s got a leather seat, leather covers that go over the leather seat.

Hmm. Um. Yeah, it’s not perfect, but it’s okay. It’s quite, quite good. Can you give me a price for both, just in case it’s not a four wheel drive? Sure, alright. Um, it’s not going to make a lot of difference. Um, they don’t have a lot of value these now. Uh, as a private sale for something like that, uh, if it’s a four wheel drive one, I think about around the 3, 000.

The 4, 000 mark, uh, if it was a two, just a two wheel drive, about three and a half, uh, and, and trade value is probably going to be about a thousand to fifteen hundred less again. They just, um, those earlier Great Walls, um, just didn’t have a very good reputation. They’ve improved a lot now, uh, but they’re just a difficult one to, to resell.

Okay, well you might have a bit of trouble. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news. for, thank you for your call. Yes. Bye bye. Thank you Pam and um, but Pam’s done the right thing in calling you and getting what the facts are. That’s right. And uh, you know, you’ve got to accept how this market is and it’s an example of how this market, segments of the market can change dramatically.

So once again, I invite you to call Adam right now. All our lines are free, 5520 888 5255. for whatever reason you might be doing with your car. Maybe the big beast in the garage is taking up too much space. Well, we can identify, put a price on that big beast for you and you might be able, and you should be able to, turn it over very quickly and put the money in the pocket or buy yourself a new car.

That’s double five two zero eight eight eight is the number. So Adam, we um, had you finished with regard to the, um. Uh, the, uh, Tesla cars on the dock. Oh, just to, just to wrap up with that, I think, uh, for, sadly for Tesla owners, owners, I think it’s going to have a big impact on their resale values. Uh, and I think this, uh, volatile pricing that we’ve seen from Tesla over the last couple of years.

And. Particularly the last few months, I think you mean the reductions, reductions in pricing. I think that’s really going to continue until I get there. And I don’t think Australia, it’s just isolated to Australia. I think all around the world, um, sales of Tesla have come back and that, uh, that would be on all EV vehicles in that market.

Correct. That’s right. We keep mentioning Tesla because it’s the brand, it’s the, what you call, the identifiable EV car that is most known. Well, the thing All manufacturers are doing EVs. Well, the thing for Tesla is that they’ve now got a lot more competition in the, in the, in the electric car space. So that’s what’s eroding away at their sales as well.

A lot of the Chinese manufactured electric cars are taking sales away from them because they’re better value for money. Welcome. Welcome to the real world. That’s right. That’s the market. All right. It’s good morning to Christopher. Go ahead, Christopher. Good morning, Christopher. Oh, good morning, Adam. How are you?

Very well. Thank you. How can I help you? I have a 2015 Ford Ranger wild track automatic. Uh, uh, all the, uh, extras, uh, standard extras and everything else. And I just wondered if you could give me a price up, please. Alright, sure. Uh, how many kilometres has it travelled? A hundred and thirty. One, three, zero.

One, three, zero. Alright. And the colour? Is white. White. Alright. And is it automatic or manual? Automatic. Automatic. Alright. Now in 2015 there was a PX Series 1 and a PX Series 2. Uh, do you know whether yours is an early 15 or late 15? It’s a very late 15. Okay, so it should It’s just before the new shape came out.

Oh, before the new shape. Alright. So the PX2 was the, was the new shape. That’s uh, alright. So that helps me. Uh, alright. And would you like a private sale price as well as a trading price? Yeah. Okay. If I may please. Certainly. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting in the early thirties for it, so around the, the 31 mark.

Uh, and if you were to, um, traded in, it’s gonna be about three to 4,000 less than that. Oh, thank you very much indeed. You’re welcome. I appreciate your, uh, your valuation. Thank you. Thank you very much. Bye-Bye. Goodbye. Thank you, Christopher, for a lovely call. All right. It’s now on to David. Good morning David.

Good morning. How can I help you David? Um, yeah, a 1972 XY Fairmont GS Station Wagon. Ha ha ha. Fairmont GS. 250 2V, top loader, close ratio gearbox in it, and I’ve got the paperwork from when it was ordered. I’m the second owner. You’re second owner, really? How long have you owned the car for, David? Oh, probably about 25 years Nick.

25, gee. I bet you bought it for a good price 25 years ago. Oh yeah. And how many miles is on it? Only 187, 000. Oh, it’s only just run in. 19, alright. I’m not going to give you a price on that one now, because I’d rather do some homework for you. Alright. They were sky high, uh, a year ago. They have dropped back a little bit, all these classic cars.

But, uh, I’ll do some homework for you and let you know on next week’s program what I think it’s worth. Oh, that’d be real good. Alright, what, um, what colour is it, David? Uh, which one is it? The brown with the white roof. Brown with the white roof. It’s all factory. Okay. No rust. And sorry, what motor, what motor you have in it?

250 2V. Okay, 250. But that’s factory. It’s an M code. And it’s a matching numbers car as well? Oh yeah. Alright, great. Alright, well thank you for your call and I’ll give you some information on next week’s show. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you, bye bye. Okay. Alright, we’ve got Sue on the line. Good morning Sue.

Ah, hi Adam. Um, I’ve got a Dodge Journey which we’re going to trade in on a new car. Alright. It’s a 2006. 13. We bought it in August, 2014 though. Brand new. I see. Um, yeah. And it’s got 129 on the clock. 1 29. Um, alright. It’s the, yeah. Seven Feeter. Alright. Um, does your one have leather trim or just the Yes, it does.

The top one. Top one? Mm-Hmm. I think it was a SXT or something like that. Was the, the model? Yeah, something like that. I can’t remember. Um, a tx Yeah. And, and what, uh, what color is it? It’s silver. Pale silver. Silver in colour. Alright. And how’s the condition? Is it reasonably well looked after? Yes. It’s good.

Alright. There’s a little scrape on one side there. It’s only minor. Alright. Uh, the value of, of those, they, they’re a little bit of a battle to get a, a good price for. Uh, I think if you’re going to trade it in, uh, I think you should be expecting somewhere around the 6, 000 mark for it. Oh, we only got three and a half.

Oh, that’s not enough. Yeah, you need to push for more. We haven’t done it yet, but, uh, yeah, we’ve tried, but, um, The only thing I would, maybe that I’m underestimating is the scrape down the side. Um, if that’s, That is small. Oh, is it? Mm. We are having trouble with the U, we are having trouble with the Uconnect, though.

Oh, I see. That was our major. All right, but look, But we didn’t tell them that. They, they don’t know about it yet. Ah, okay. But I’d be definitely pushing for more money than three and a half. I think it should be definitely higher than that, regardless of the little issues. Things we’ve got wrong. Okay. Okay.

Thanks, Adam. Thank you, Sue. Bye bye. Bye. Yes. Thank you for your call, Sue. And all our lines, once again, are for free right now. 55208888 is the number. We’re at the 25 minute past the half hour. Mark, so you better get into the, uh, room and get your phone going and call Adam right away on 55208888 is the number for evaluation on your motor car.

Okay, Adam, um, I might make a comment. Do you think on the fuel excise, because I read an article, uh, uh, I think a couple of months ago, where Gina Reinhart, for example, um, doesn’t pay excise on her mining vehicles. Nah. Taking out all that valuable ore out of the ground. And I thought to myself, you know, we, we, certainly there’s a, there’s a case for the government to step in and maybe cap the, the price of excess for a 12 month period to give people lifestyle relief in terms of the costs.

There’s a lot of calls for that at the moment. And remember that happened, um, A couple of years back, 18 months ago, it was halved. Um, but back then the, the fuel excise was 44.20 cents a liter, and it dropped back to 22.1. Yes. Reduced by, um, 50%, but now the excise is 49.60 cents a liter. So it’s a, it’s a big contributor to what we’re paying at the, at the pump.

It’s indeed. It is indeed. Yes. And, uh, we’ll talking about, um, cost of living pressures, and that’s, that’s really high. Yes, I mean it’s not a political program that we do, but the trouble that we have, the difficulties we’re having in lifestyle costs at the moment, all hemmed in so much, in such a big way from the cost of fuel, because that impacts our, our food, our freight, transport, all of those things and the ripple effect comes in, so we’ve got to start getting onto doing legislation for things that.

will reduce the cost of living per week. Correct. Okay, all our lines are free. Hey, gee, we’re 27 minutes past 10. Come on, you better hurry up. 55208888 is the number. Okay, Adam, um, I thought this one was quite an interesting one. If you agree, we might do it now, but only if you agree. Yeah, of course. That’s the, um, the, the charging for a, uh, the, uh, I think it was the Tesla you were referencing, wasn’t it?

No. Wasn’t it Tesla? I was talking about the fastest charging electric cars and Tesla doesn’t come into that. Okay. Which surprised me actually. Uh, but the one thing about this report was that a lot of manufacturers, they talk about the the driving range of these, of these batteries. Yes. But they recommend that you only, if you don’t need it, to only charge them to 80 percent to preserve the life of the battery.

Yeah, yeah, right. So, so it’s like going to the service station and only putting filling the tank to 80%. It just doesn’t make a lot of Yeah, but isn’t that in conflict with your, with your phone, for example? They say fully charge your phone. Don’t, don’t skimp on That’s right. You know, so that’s Apparently it puts pressure on the, on the battery, which could reduce its, uh, its lifespan.

Should we take, um Yes, thank goodness. Steve has got us, got us out of trouble there. Good morning, Steve. G’day mate, how are you going? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Um, Adam, I believe, mate, you’ve got a really good reputation, from what I’ve heard. And I didn’t think you did, I didn’t, I didn’t think you, um, did valuations on classic cars, but I have got one sitting in the shed, that I’m now thinking of selling.

Alright. The only thing I’d say about classic cars, the only thing I’d say about classic cars, I don’t give a price on the spot, because I do some work for you. Oh, of course mate, yeah, yeah. What have you got, Steve? Um, it’s a 1970 HG Bathurst Monaro. Oh, oh, that’s terrible. All right. I bought it brand new.

I’ve owned it 54 years. Have you really? Gee. Yeah. All right. So is it a, so is it a 350 Yeah, mate. Yeah. It’s a, no, no, it’s a Bathurst HG. They come out, yeah, they come out in 350s. 350. All right. Uh, and the color? Indy orange. Orange. All right. And. With that, with that NX black trim. All right. And never been restored, just in a regional car.

Yep. Original car. Original car. All right. And how many miles on it? But, but Uh, just done 80, 000. 80. Alright, 80, 000 miles. What an incredible car. Thank you. I like doing research on these ones. Uh, Steve, I will, I’ll do some homework on that and I’ll, uh, talk about it on next week’s program. Alright, mate.

Thanks for that. Thank you, Steve. It’s, uh, it’s never been, it’s never been bent or scratched or anything, mate. It’s 100 percent original. Sounds like a great car. Yep. Alright. Thank you, Steve. Thanks, mate. Appreciate the call. Bye bye. Thank you. Thank you, Steve. We’ve got one more call. We’ve got uh, Will on the line.

Good morning, Will. Morning, how are you going? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Hey, I just got a 2017 A180, uh, Mercedes. I’m just looking to get an evaluation on it. Alright, A180, uh, in the hatch, uh, and how many kilometres has it travelled? It’s got 80, 000. 80, 000, alright. Uh, has it got a sunroof or anything like that, Will?

No, no sunroof. No sunroof, alright. And the colour? No sunroof. Uh, white. White in colour? Alright. Would you like a private sale price as well as a trade price? Yeah, I could. Alright. And it’s 2017, wasn’t it? Yep. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting around the, the 18 to 19 for it.

Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about 3, 000 less than that. Alright, thank you Will, appreciate your call. We’ve got one more call, we’ve got Doug on the line, good morning Doug. Oh, good morning. Good morning Doug, how can I help you? I’ve got a 2017 Mustang black manual, I’m just wondering roughly what it would be worth.

Alright, 2017, is it a GT V8? Yeah, yeah, GT V8, yes. And a manual, and it’s black, and it’s not a convertible, just a coupe? Just a coupe, yes. And how many kilometres, Doug? Only 4, 4, 000. Oh, 4, 000. Gee, all right. Yes. Uh, they have come back in value these, but yours has got incredibly low kilometers. Uh, I would think, uh, as a, a private sale for that one, you should be expecting, uh, in the late 40s for it.

You’re listening to 4CRB’s interviews and talkback series.

What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. Yes, it is the new, easy way to sell your car, but for now, we’ve got another easy way for you to discuss your car and get a valuation on it.

On your car with Adam Hall. Adam Hall, good morning. Good morning, Wayne. Nice to be back. Nice to be back in the studio again, and we were just saying how quickly one week jumps to another. It seems like yesterday we were just here finishing our program. I know, it goes very quickly. And the market. is like that as well.

It’s going quickly. It’s going over, up, down, sideways, and every other way. And we’re going to be talking a little about the new car situation at the present time as well in this program. But for now, just a reminder to you, if you’re thinking about downsizing, if you’re thinking about selling your car privately, or if you’re thinking about doing a trade in for your car, you can The important thing for you to do is to get the right price because it’s so hard because Adam, it takes time for things like websites, um, to catch up and certainly printed, printed material to catch up with this market that changes in a 24 hour cycle.

Particularly at the moment, it’s really, uh, it’s really changed a lot over the last, uh, few months and a lot of those, um, publications there. They’re about six months behind. Yes, it’s an extremely confused market price wise, but the impact comes back on, on you, the owner of the vehicle, if you’ve got your, your preferred price in, but it’s off the mark for the market to attract and sell the car, you can waste valuable time.

And uh, so what I’m saying, you might Maybe drop it a couple of thousand dollars even, uh, to get the right price and get moving forward. That’s right. Okay, so it’s a very sensitive market. We all know that and you certainly would know that if you’re currently trying to sell your motor car. But now is the time to get the right price for your motor car.

Get a valuation off Adam. He’s ready to go. He’s got his scruffy old book there. This is a new one. I’m sorry Adam. He’s got no computer and no red book and he’s had a 99. 9 percent success rate in just on 10 years of doing this program. So it’s a great record to be proud of. And you can call him right now on 5520 8888.

Okay, Adam, a little bit of a chat on the, uh, The Prado, the new Prado has been released, but it’ll cost us more money. It certainly will. There’s been a lot of excitement around this, this new car because it’s probably the first completely new shape. of this, uh, this car. Uh, and it’s always been a very popular model in that segment.

But, uh, the pricing is a little bit of a surprise. Uh, the, uh, it’s going to rise by a minimum of about 10, 000 for the base model vehicles and then up to about 12, 500 for the top of the range, uh, Prado Kakadu. So you’re looking at, um What’s the price now to drive away? Well, by the time you get the new Uh, it’ll be about 110, 000.

Gee, it’s getting up there, isn’t it? Yeah, it wasn’t that long ago that that car was probably about 85, 000. We’ve had a lot of price increases over the last two or three years with the current model. Uh, so that, that’s, that’s a bit of a price shock, but they are promising that it’s going to be far superior to the previous model.

Uh, it’s going to have the mild hybrid, uh, electric, uh, uh, motor with the, with the diesel engine. Yes. Uh, so it’ll improve fuel economy, but a completely new shape. Uh, so it’ll be very different, but they start, uh, start for the base model, which is the GX starts at about 73, uh, plus all the on road costs, of course, which gets you close to about 80.

for just the standard model. Yes. Uh, they’ve added another model as well, which used to just be a limited edition. It was the Altitude. So that’s now, uh, coming into the range and that’ll sit, uh, between the VX model and the Kakadu.

Mm hmm.

Well, they’re going to give it a good shot, aren’t they? Certainly are.

So, uh, they’ll be out, uh, in the not too distant future. This is where the, uh, what you announced last, uh, Tuesday that the, uh, the Chinese car industry is planning to hit Australia next year with 12 new, new vehicles. That’s right. Now this is where, uh, this is the sort of thing now with, um, uh, standard, um, on, uh, manufacturers starting to put their prices up.

Yeah. Ridiculously high. Yeah. That’s going to push that market. that, that Chinese support, that Chinese market, people are going to at least inquire, aren’t they?

Certainly will. If you’re looking at a, let’s say, I think they’ve, uh, there’s a, the GWM, that’s the tank 500. I think that’s around 70, 000 and it’s a similar size to the Prado.

It’s got all the features that that has. So, and I mean the top of the range one. So if you’re looking at say late sixties or 70, 000 for something like that, and a hundred and 10 for. For the Toyota, I think a lot of people will start to at least look that’s right at least look yes You’re gonna have to it’s going to be a very interesting Year next year certainly is okay.

We’ve got our first caller. Good morning, George. Good morning,

George Yes, it is. How can I help you George?

Uh, sell. It’s for the certainly. What, uh, what year model is your Mazda the sixth, George? Uh, it’s at 18 years old. 18 years old now. So that will be, you’re the second owner? I’m the, yeah. 18 years old.

Alright, so it’s about a 2006 model, is that right? Yeah, quite right. Yes. On math mass are correct. So 2006 now is it the hatchback or the sedan?

It’s the sedan.

All right. Uh, so it should be the classic model, the.

Correct.

Yeah, classic. And how many kilometres has it travelled?

A hundred and sixty two. 2001

62. All right. Uh, I’m the second owner.

Second owner. All right.

And I’ve had it for eight years and I’ve, I’ve looked after it Well, except a small, few small scratches in the front.

That’s all. Oh, well that’s to be expected for a car that’s, that’s 18 years of age, uh, right, right. Alright. Now, would you like a private sale, uh, figure as well as a trade in figure.

Yes, just a private sale please. Alright, private sale. Alright, uh, I think if you were to, um, sell it privately, uh, the kilometres are pretty reasonable for that, for that age.

Uh, I think you should be asking around the four and a half to maybe five thousand for it.

Right. Alright. Yeah. And what do I do after this, Adam?

Oh, I think, alright, well, George, what, uh, did you leave your details at, at reception? No. No. Alright, well, if you wouldn’t mind calling back through, uh, and just leaving your details, I will, I will give you a call after the program.

Thank you very much.

Alright, um, going from the Prado, I guess it might be interesting just to, just to jump to the, um, the smart car. Used to be on our roads, and you’d have to, you’d have to look twice before you didn’t, before you avoided running over them. They were an interesting little vehicle. It’s almost like the opposite of the Prado, isn’t it?

It’s the opposite to the Prado, yes. Thanks.

Yeah, so this was a car that you may or may not have seen it or you may have run over one at some point, hopefully not, but this, uh, this, the smart car was on sale in Australia from 2003 until, uh, 2015. Uh, it was, uh, it was originally, uh, uh, Mercedes Benz. Yes, right.

Yes, it was. And the Swatch watch company. The Swatch was a They were It was a joint venture for that car. Uh, it’s now Mercedes Benz and Geely, which is the Chinese, uh, manufacturer. Uh, so they’re in partnership and they plan to, to re release this car, uh, in Australia again. I don’t think it’s coming in the, in the It was called the Smart Fortwo, so it was only a two It two seater little car.

Yes. Uh, but the, quite an interesting looking car, weren’t they? They were. They certainly grabbed, grabbed attention. It did. Uh, but, uh. Do you have a price by any chance? No. No price yet? No.

No pricing. No, but apparently it’s going to be, uh, most likely an electric SUV, possibly two different models. Uh, yes. But it’s going to be, there’s, uh, dealers, uh, set up for, uh, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane to begin with.

Uh, so it’ll be interesting to see what, what they bring to the market because initially when they came out, they were quite a popular brand. popular, popular little car. They sold a fair few of them. Yes, they were very attractive and, uh, an interesting little change to the market, isn’t it? Certainly is.

Oh, the I load, you mean? Yes. It’ll be a Hyundai I load, yes, I know what you mean.

Hyundai I load, yeah. Alright, so about a About four year old.

Okay, about twenty twenty, somewhere around there. And you want something with fairly low kilometres?

Yes.

Alright,

low kilometres. They have held their value pretty well, these vans, uh, there’s a big market for them out there. Uh, I think, uh, if you want to get something with low kilometres and about four years old, you’re probably looking at around the middle thirties to get a good one.

Middle thirties?

Yeah. Alright.

Alright then, well thank you very much for your help. You’re

welcome. Thank you Peter. I appreciate your call. Bye now. Bye bye. Alright, we’ve got Johnny on the line. Good morning, Johnny. Hi, how are you? How can I help you?

Oh, hi, Adam. Yeah, so I’ve got a Suzuki. 2018, that I’m interested to sell, I’m trying to get a price for it, um,

The Suzuki Swift,

uh,

But it’s a limited edition, it’s called a Red Devil or something.

It might have been a dealer option, that one. What sort of extras has it got? Has it got like, um, alloy wheels and things

like that? Yeah, and fancy decals. Ah, yeah, yeah. It’s a pretty nice looking little car.

Yeah.

About thirty, uh, thirty four thousand K on it.

Alright. Have you had the car for new, Johnny?

Yeah, yeah, I bought it, yes.

Okay, alright. So

it’s about six years old and 34, 000 kilometres. Um, would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure?

Yes, yes.

Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell it, um, privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 14 mark for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about two to two and a half thousand less than that.

Okay,

no worries.

Alright. Yep, alright. Thank you, Johnny.

Appreciate your

call. Bye. Bye.

Alright, have we got uh, Londi, is it Londi on the line?

Yes.

Good morning, how can I help you?

Ah, good morning, it’s a 21 um, Wildtrek Ranger. Um, it’s electric um, back shutter on the back. Alright. It’s got 20 inch um, mags on it.

And it’s got a Predator bar on the front.

Alright. Okay, so it’s the last of the previous model. Uh, 21.

It’s done. 65,000 Ks.

All right. Uh, and what color is it?

Uh, white.

White in color. White. All right. Nice color. And would you like a, a private sale figure as well as a trade figure on that one?

Uh, yes, please.

All right. Uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting in the middle fifties for it. So around that 55. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s gonna be in the really early fifties, so around 50 to 51. Okay. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you for your call. Bye bye. All right.

We’ve got, uh, Carol on the line. Good morning, Carol.

Oh, good morning, Adam. Yes, just an inquiry, please. I have a RAV4 four wheel drive. It’s a 2008 model. 144, 203 kilometers on the clock. I’m coming up for insurance. I don’t know whether to go for market value or agreed value because I don’t know what the car is worth.

Okay. Have they given you any sort of figure at this time?

Well, last year it was 8, 000.

Okay, alright. So,

and looking at current car sales data, it’s still about the same, but is that correct?

Yeah, it probably is for, because your kilometres are pretty good for that age of car. It is an automatic one, is that right?

Yes, it is, yeah. Yeah,

yeah, so.

It’s a four wheel drive.

Yeah, I think, yeah, I think around 8, 000, I think that’s about the right figure, so if you can keep it at that, uh, I think that’ll be enough.

Okay, so where is the difference between agreed and market value? I mean, is it a bit of a grey area?

It is. It depends on the vehicle.

Sometimes it’s up and sometimes it’s down. So, I think the important thing is to look at, is to always ask the insurance company and know how much you’re insured for. That’s the important thing because, uh, if, If they don’t give you an actual figure, you can be really left short at some point.

Yes, if you just go for market value, it’s very open, isn’t it?

It is, that’s right.

It’s very open because it depends on the condition of the car overall.

That’s right, that’s right.

All right, so you think 8, 000? Around 8, 000

would be right. Okay.

Well, thank you for your time.

You’re welcome. Thank you, Carol. Enjoy your day.

Yes, thank you for your call, Carol. Yep, the whole insurance, uh Business of quoting is in a grey area.

It’s a minefield. It’s a minefield. Alright, it’s good morning to Malcolm and, uh, if you want to get on the line right now for, to check the, uh, valuation of your motorcar for insurance or Centrelink purposes, you can do so by calling 5520 8888. It’s good morning to, uh, Malcolm. Good morning, Malcolm.

Good day, Adam.

How are you going? Very well, thank you.

How can I help you?

Um, I’ve got a 2021 Hyundai Venue wagon, SUV. Venue, alright. And, um, and I want to sell it.

Alright, so it’s a 2021, uh, how many kilometres does it travel, Malcolm?

Uh, believe it or not, 17, 252. Alright,

17, 252, uh, and the colour? Huh? White. White in colour, good colour.

Alright. Uh, and would you like a, a private sale value or just a trade value or, uh, private sale value. Alright.

Alright. Uh, you’ve got, gotta make sure you price these correctly because the, the new ones, uh, they’re starting to really discount those. You’ve gotta make sure there’s a decent gap between that and a new one.

Uh, I know you’ve got very low kilometers, uh, but I think if you’re to sell it one privately, I think you should be asking the really late. So around that 18 to 19. Um, and trade value would be a few thousand less than that. Sure.

Sure. Okay. That’s excellent. Thanks very much. You’re welcome.

Thank you, Malcolm.

Bye bye.

Okay. Good advice there for Malcolm. All right. All our lines are free and, uh, we’re twenty five minutes past ten and, uh, we’ve got about five minutes to go to our program, so why don’t you jump on the phone right now, double five two zero double eight double eight is the number for you to talk to Adam Hall.

And get a real time valuation on your motor car. Hey, Adam, before we finish our program today, we should talk about the, um, the EVs. But once again, another example of, um, buyer beware.

I’ve been reading so many stories over the past couple of weeks about people that are concerned about The drop in electric car values.

Yes. And this was a great example, a gentleman bought a Tesla Model 3, and I believe it was earlier this month, and he paid 60, 900 plus on road costs. Yes. And then he happened to be looking on the website two weeks later and the exact same car was, uh, on sale for 55, 900.

Disgraceful. It’s disgraceful, really.

It’s a 5, 000 difference inside a month. Uh, and the impact that that has on, on values is, uh, it’s incredible. And I’ve really never seen such fluctuations in pricing and that’s why there’s so much. It’s already a new, um, A new mode of transport, so people have all these other considerations and concerns.

And then to see these manufacturers just suddenly changing prices, uh, when somebody’s handed over their hard earned money, uh, to buy a brand new car, it’s really, it is, there’s only one word for it, it’s disgraceful. And arrogant.

Arrogant. Complete marketing arrogance in, um, in moving and selling the, the promoting the vehicles.

You know, there’s no, um, responsibility being taken at all. Well, one of their, what they’re saying is that Tesla are really overstocked with cars now. They’ve been building, building and building and building for a market. And now that market’s starting

to drop away. Yes, but there must be a way in which the price reductions, we’re not saying price reductions shouldn’t be done.

Of course they need to fluctuate, but fluctuating within a week and without any market awareness being put out there for the change. It just happens and that’s the arrogance part, isn’t it?

There’s better ways to do it as well. A lot of other manufacturers, when, you Let’s say they’re getting close to releasing a new model, they might offer a limited edition that’s got a few more features on it.

Yes, a bit of value for the value to help move stock, but just to drop the same car is, uh, it’s not a good thing. It doesn’t look good at all.

Let’s hope that changes very quickly. All right, we’ve got Kerry on the line. Good morning, Kerry.

Yes, good morning. Um, I have a 2018, uh, Hyundai i30, done about 30, done 35, 000k’s, alright. Uh, and is it that, do you know whether it’s the active model or the go model? Uh, best way to tell, um, does your car have, uh, the wheel trims like the hubcaps or does it have alloy wheels?

Ah, that’s the alloy wheel.

Alloy wheel, so it should be the active. Yep. Ah, it’s got 35, 000 on it, ah, and what colour is it Kerry?

It’s that metal grey, I think they call it, gun metal grey is it? Yes,

that’s the one, and would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure?

Yes. Yes. Thank you.

Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, you should be expecting, uh, around the 17, 000 mark for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about 2, 000 to 3, 000 less than that.

Okay. Thank you very much for your help. You’re

welcome. Thank you, Kerry. Bye bye. All right. We’ve got, uh, John on the line. Good morning, John. Hello? Yes,

John.

How can I help you?

Very good. Thank you. Good morning, Adam. Uh, I’ve seen a car, it was um, a Toyota Land Cruiser, it looked in really fabulous condition, and it was a V8, um, it wanted 35, 000 for it, but it’s done 300, 000.

Right.

Is that good or bad?

Uh, do you know whether it was a V8 diesel or a V8 petrol?

I think it was petal.

Alright. Uh, if it’s a V eight petrol with 300,000 kilometers on it, I, I would say, and I, I’m, I’m not sure what year it was or anything like that, but, uh, 2009.

Alright. It’s definitely too much money for a 2009 model with, with that many kilometers on it.

It should, uh, it should be in the twenties. That car should be about that 27 to 28.

Right. Okay. All right. All right. Thanks very much.

John.

Have a good day.

Same to you.

Yeah. Thank you, John. You have a good day as well. And that’s another example of another very important service that you can take advantage of, not today, but next Tuesday when we’re back again.

And that is if you’re looking for a car and you’ve got a car in mind, just run it past Adam before you go out onto the marketplace to search for that car. It saves you a lot of time. All right, Adam. And once again, if there are listeners out there that would like to still have a chance I contact you and haven’t been able to make it this morning.

Yes, of course. Uh, my number is 0404. 2 9 0 6 1 7. Terrific. Thanks mate. Look forward to being

Um, certainly is. In terms of the impact, twelve new vehicles coming into the market next year. You tell, tell us about it mate. Well two, uh, twelve different brands it is, so that’s uh, so when we talk about Toyota or Mazda or those sorts of brands, that’s twelve different brands that’ll, that’ll They’ll have a number of different models underneath that brand, but I thought I’d go through some of the names, so I’ve found a little bit difficult to pronounce, but the first one is X Peng, X Peng, X Peng, and that’s a, uh, that’s going to be an electric vehicle, electric SUV of some sort.

We should say that the majority of the 12 are electric. They are. They are. Electrical or hybrid. Or hybrid. Okay. Yeah. I think there’s one in there that, um, they’re offering, uh, a petrol of some sort. Yes. Uh, then, uh, GAC Motor, which is a really big brand in China, uh, they’ve got a number of sub brands as well, uh, they’re coming out with hybrid and plug in hybrid vehicles.

Next one is Aeon, uh, which is a sub brand of GAC, uh, that they’re putting out. They’ll be releasing some electric cars. Geely is a brand that’s already been in Australia. It was only in Western Australia about 10 years ago. They’re doing electric as well. Then we go to another one called Zika. Odd sort of name.

Lincoln Amco. J. Co. Not J. Co. The J. Co. The caravans, it’s JQ. That’s going to be a mid size luxury SUV. Uh, Leap Motor is another, another name. Uh, Neo, uh, Changin, uh, Skywell and G Tour. What a list. So look out for all those different brands. Look, look out. The Chinese motor car is alive and fit and well. I don’t know about fit and well, but it’s coming to Australia next year.

Okay, we’ve got our first caller and it’s good morning to Mary. Mary, what car have you got for Adam? Good morning Mary. Hi. Yeah, good morning, hi. How can I help you, Mary? Uh, I was just after a price on a i30, um, Elite, 2013. 2013, all right, it’s the, uh, Elite, uh, and it’s the hatchback, is it? Uh, yes. Hatchback, uh, and how many kilometers has it travelled, Mary?

90, 000. 90, all right, and it’s a petrol one, is it? Yes, yes. Petrol, all right, and automatic? Yep. Alright, and last question, the colour? Um, metallic grey. Grey, alright, that’s giving me a good picture. Now would you like a private sale price as well as a trading price? Yes, please. Alright. Uh, kilometres are pretty reasonable for a 2013, uh, and it is the Elite, so I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 12 to 12 and a half for it, uh, and if, if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about two to two and a half thousand less than that.

Oh, okay. That’s great. very much. Thank you, Mary. Bye bye. Alright, we’ve got Linda on the line. Good morning, Linda. Ah, good morning Adam. I’d like a private, um, price on a MG ZST pilot, uh, auto, silver in colour, starting at 14, 000 kilometres. 14, 000, alright. Um, and what year model is it Linda? Uh, 2021. 2021. It says NST.

Uh, sorry, what, what did you mention what color it was? Uh, silver. Uh, silver. You did? Alright. And I’m assuming it’s in excellent condition being with only 14,000 kilometers. Uh, it’s perfect. It still be under new car warranty as well, which is a, which is a benefit. Yes. Non non-smoker. Alright, lady owner.

Alright. And you’re wanting to sell privately, are you? Yes. Alright. Perfectly. Alright. I think, uh, as a private seller, you should be expecting in the early 20s, so around that 22, uh, maybe ask 23, but I, I think that’s about where it’ll end up, around that 22 mark. Oh, that’s excellent. Alright. Oh, thank you so much, Adam.

You’re welcome. Appreciate that. Thank you, Linda. Have a good day. Same to you. Bye bye. Yes, thank you for your call, Linda, and if you would like to now call Adam, you can do so. All our lines are free right now, and that number is 5520 8888, for you to get a real time valuation on your motorcar. And, uh, don’t forget the big beast in the garage.

If you haven’t used that for a little while, it might be time to get a price and, uh, find out how much money is sitting in the In the garage at the present time, so you too can call and get a realtime valuation on what you’re losing there. Double 5, 2 0, double eight. Double eight is the number? Yes. Um, and one car you didn’t mention was the gly.

Oh, I did, but, um, oh, you did, did you? Sorry. So that’s a, that’s a brand, uh, that’s, it’s already been in Australia. Uh, it came out here about. Uh, about 10 years ago, 10 to 12 years ago, but it was only bought into Western Australia. Oh, yes. A distributor over there. Yeah. Uh, they had like a small, uh, sedan, uh, but they’re, they’re coming out now.

Geely’s quite a big brand. It’s part of, they actually own Volvo and the Polestar family. electric car as well. They’ve got other brands in China. It’s a really big company. Yes. Uh, but they’re, they’re coming with a hybrid and electric vehicles. So it’s going to be a really crowded market. I think we’ve got about 70 different brands in the country already.

Yeah. And we’re only compared to other countries, what we sell every year because of our price. limited population is quite low. Yes. So to have over 80 different brands for such a small market, it’s just really is incredible. Yes, in our pre program discussion we both expressed that for the future there’s going to be It’s not normal to have this launch of 12 new brands into a market that is controlled by our low population.

And there’s going to be some serious, uh, we believe, let’s hope it doesn’t happen, but there may be need for government intervention to Which we think we both agreed should be happening now. Yes. Because this is not a normal part, uh, uh, that the market can handle. No. Not a normal situation. No. Well, there’s, uh, a lot of the, uh, the brands that are here now, there’s an enormous investment to, to be able to be here.

Yes. And then to suddenly have that diluted by. 12 different brands within a couple of years and these these type of brands are going to bring cars in at lower pricing Yes, so they’ll be probably better equipped than a car. That’s two or three years old now Yeah, so that’s and they’re offering all sorts of different Uh, warranties, which are at a pretty high level as well.

So I think it’s going to have an impact on the used car market. Yes, because if you’ve got a, let’s say you’re selling a three, three or four year old used car and you could go and buy a brand new one that’s packed with all these features and it’s Priced at a, well under what, what current cars are or used cars are, well it is going to have an impact.

Which is something we really don’t need. No. You know, we’ve all, we’ve got enough volatility in the market as it is. Yeah. And you add this to it, a lot of people will be hurt. Well, doing this program, it’s probably been the toughest couple of years to be able to come up with those prices as quickly as possible because it is so volatile.

It is all over the place and introduction of all these new brands, different types of engines, electric. It’s all having a really sort of unsettling effect on the industry. Yeah, and we love our motorcars. We do. We do. Okay, we’re waiting to hear what car you’re going to sell by calling 5520 888 is the number.

Yes, and you are currently listening to What’s Your Car Worth? Hey Adam, before we move off the EV, um, the old terminology of buyer beware comes into the category of electric vehicles because of the, the changes in retail price. They’re happening like one after the other. They are. Actually, I read this story yesterday and there’s a, there’s a company that, specifically keeps an eye on new car prices and, and looks at all the changes and they see that electric cars are, uh, normal cars are generally, they go up in price gradually over time, which protects the value of your own car.

Exactly. Yeah. Electric vehicles right now, some of the, they’ve been, um, studying what’s happening with electric car prices and there’s There’s a couple in particular that they mention, uh, there was a, a Peugeot, uh, it’s called the E2008 SUV, it’s totally electric, uh, and, uh, A couple of months ago, if you wanted to buy that car, it was 63, 000 on the road.

Uh, they just reduced the price to 39, 990. So, what a hit. So, could you imagine if you, say, bought one in January, uh, happily driving around and then see a brand new one. It’s cruel. It’s 23, 000 less. Yeah, very cruel. Uh, the Tesla Model Y, which is the most popular electric car out there now, uh, that’s come back five.

about 12, 000 in the last 12 months, so that has an impact on, on resale value. Uh, the biggest drop, which I would say, because there wouldn’t be many of these that have been sold, is the Mercedes Benz AMG EQS 53. That’s been dropped by 100, 000. Oh my goodness. Yeah, I’ve never, I’ve never seen drops like that, but if they’re not selling, they’re Manufacturers will just have a look at it and, and cut them.

Yeah. So it’s, but it’s disappointing for the people that have, that have actually gone out and That have invested in that motor car. That’s right. Yep. Yes. Buyer beware continues. It’s a very important aspect of anything we buy these days. Okay. Let’s go to our next caller. Good morning. Is that Jeff? Yes, I do.

Hi Jeff. How can I help you? Look, I’ve got a 2018 Ford Ranger, 4.24 door. Uh, I wanna get rid of, uh, it’s a three point, so it’s 3.2 liter. The, uh, yeah, that’s it. Okay. Alright. Uh, so it’s a range. Is it an XLT model or, yes, it is XLT. And it’s a, and it’s a four wheel drive, four door. Uh, yep. And it’s got, uh, full canopy canopy, uh, bull bar on the front.

Mm. Never been on the rough roads. It’s white. White. Yes we have and it’s got 80, 354 on it. Yes it is. Alright. It’s been serviced every day, it’s been due for service, it’s been serviced. The Rangers, uh, the new model Ranger is incredibly popular and the second hand ones have kind of been a little bit of a victim of that success because there’s a lot of them on the market now because of, you know.

So many have been traded in on the new model, uh, so you, you’ve got to make sure that you price them right because I see a lot of them just sitting not selling, um, I think, uh, if you were going to sell that one privately, uh, I would suggest to be asking in the later 30, so around that 37 to 38, um, but, and trade value is probably going to be about 3 to 4, 000 less than that.

Right. Thank you very much for that. You’re welcome. Thank you, Jeff. Appreciate your call. Yes, Jeff. Thank you for your call. All right. 55208888 is the number. And if you’re thinking of selling your car, you may be already thinking about buying a car. So you might like to do, if you’re working in the used car market, to buy another car, get a price on that car from Adam now, so you know what to do.

Sort of money you’ll be looking for. All right, we’ve got everything covered. All it needs is for you to call us on 5520 888. And it’s good morning to Pam. Good morning, Pam. Good morning. How can I help you? I’m ringing for a friend. She’s got an MG3.

Black little hatch, black one. All right. Yeah. Yeah. 20, 20. I think it’s January 21. 2021. All right. Do you know if it’s the core model or the excite model? Is it the core model or the excite? She doesn’t know. Core. Core, she said. All right. We’ve got the core. All right. And how many kilometres? It’s got 7, 000.

Ah, 7, 000. Alright. Very low kilometres. It’s a very low kilometre. Very nice little car. Yeah. Uh, and it’s, I’m assuming it’s probably in near new condition. It is, yes. Now, would you like a private sale price as well as a trade figure? Yes, please. Alright. Uh, Once again with these, there’s a lot of these on the markets.

You’ve got to be careful to price them correctly. Uh, I think as a, as a private sale for that one, you should be asking around the 13, 000 mark for it. Uh, and as a trading value, it’s going to be two to 3000 less than that. Okay. All right. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Pam. I appreciate your call.

Thank five double 5 2 0 8 8. Eight eight is the number. It’s coming up to 22, 22 minutes past 10. So we’ve got, uh, a little over eight minutes to go before we close our program. So get on that phone right now. Double five two zero eight eight double eight is the number. Okay, the, uh, well, the federal budget announcement has come and gone.

It has. I thought I might mention, uh, that, uh, they allocated 84 and a half million dollars towards the implementation of the new car emission standards. Oh, just what we needed. Yeah, that’s right. So they’ve, uh, they’ve, this money is going towards setting up a federal regulator to manage these standards. I don’t know.

Adam, I just don’t know. It’s an enormous amount of money, isn’t it? Yes, look, um, yes. There’s so many things that we can see that it probably deserve How much do they have put up for this? 84 and a half million. Other things that are so important in lifestyle, the lifestyle category of our living, that could do with 84 million dollars.

Well, we talk about Everybody’s talking about cost of living at the moment. I’m not sure whether that, uh, that 84. 5 million could go towards a lot of better projects. It could indeed. Yes, indeed. Okay. And, um, gee, a pretty serious, um, article that you were telling me about in terms of the, um, deaths on our roads at the present time.

Well, it’s, it’s kind of, it’s very surprising to me because I, I look at, uh, Every, every time a new vehicle is released, they’re generally safer than the previous model. So you would think that, uh, that over time, our roads should be getting better, our cars are getting safer, the safety standards are getting higher.

But, uh, in the last 12 months, uh, our road toll was as high as it’s been since 2012. Gee. So it was 1, 310. deaths, uh, from our roads, uh, which is up 132 from, from last year. Uh, a couple of states that really contributed heavily, heavily to that was, uh, the Northern Territory, which don’t have those speed limits.

So that was up 35. 3 percent in. in a year. Uh, and New South Wales was up 31. 2%. In Queensland it was only 5. 7%, but still a statistic that’s, uh, that’s, uh, something that needs to be addressed. Well, I’m being a bit cynical with my next comment. Rudd Street isn’t working too well, is it? No, it isn’t. No, definitely not.

Alright. Think about that statement. Alright, good morning to Tracy. Tracy, go ahead. Good morning, Tracy. Oh, hi, good morning. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Well, I have a 2019 SsangYong Corando. Um, and I was just curious on a resale price. Oh right, okay. Um, so it’s a Corando. It’s diesel.

Diesel one, alright. Uh, how many And the ultimate, you know, limited edition model. Okay, alright. How many kilometres has it travelled, Tracey? Uh, just over 30. 30. 31 or 32. Alright. I haven’t seen enough of these of late to give you an accurate figure. Um, so what I might do, uh, I’ll do some research for you.

And if you could listen in next week, I’ll let you know what I think it’s worth. Okay, I heard, um, when I went to purchase it, they told me that there were only 700 that came in of that model. Yeah, not a, I just haven’t seen, um, many of them at all, so I’d just rather get you an accurate figure. But I’ll, I’ll come back to you and let you know next week.

Okay, sounds good. Alright, Tracey. Alright, thanks so much. Bye. Bye bye. Alright, we’ve got Glenda on the line. Good morning, Glenda. Good morning, how are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Uh, yeah. Um, I just wanted to inquire about, uh, Lexus. It’s a 2021 model. All right. EES 300 H, luxury H. It’s a luxury.

All right. Uh oh. Mel, don’t sell it. . Uh, and, uh, how many, how many kilometers does it traveled, Glenda? Uh, 33,000. 33. All right. And the color. Ah, it’s a really beautiful silver. What are those colours like? I think I know the colour you mean. Yeah. Alright, and it’s got 33, 000 on it. Uh, and I’m assuming it’s in great condition?

Perfect condition. Alright. Now, would you like a private sale figure on that as well as a trade? Yeah, both, thanks. Alright, uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting, uh, in the very early 50s for it, so around that 51 to 52, uh, and if you were to, as a trade in it, it’s going to be a fair bit less because people when, uh, when they’re selling a vehicle of that sort of value, uh, they want a fairly decent, decent margin in it, so I’d say it’d be more in the mid 40s as a trade.

Okay. Alright. Really helpful. Thank you. Glenda. Have a great day. Thank you. Bye, bye. Bye. All right, we’ve got Bill on the line. Good morning, Bill. Good morning, Adam. How can I help you Bill? Um, look. I just asked for a price. I’ve got a, uh, um, CX 3 MAZDA, um, 2016, with 40, 000 kilometers on it. And it’s, um, red in color.

The very popular red, the sole red, very popular color. Uh, all right. Uh, and do you know if it’s the, uh, neo or the, the max sport or what model it is? It’s not the max sport, the one down from that. Alright, so call it, has it got, um, alloy wheels on it, bill? Yes it has actually. Alright, alright. They’re unique.

We picked them. They’re not the standard, but they’re a nice deal. Okay, alright. Well it’s definitely, uh, the kilometres are pretty low for 2016, so it’s, it’d be worth more than the average. Would you like a private sale price as well as a trade? Yes please. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 16, 000 to 17, 000 for it.

Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about 2, 500 to 3, 000 less than that. Thanks very much, Adam. You’re welcome. Thank you, Bill. Okay, we’ve got about three minutes to go. 55208888 is the number. If you hop on the phone quickly now, we’ll be able to look after your valuation for you. And in the meantime, it’s a good morning to Mel.

Good morning, Mel. Hey, Adam. How are you going? Very well. Thank you. How can I help you? Um, so I have a 2017 VW Tiguan. Tiguan, sorry. Um, it’s a, R, R package with the, R line pack, ok, R line package, alright, do you know what, 162 TSI, ah, that was my next question, the 162 TSI, alright, 2017, and how many kilometres has it travelled?

It’s done 93, 000. 93, all right. Um, and how’s the condition? Is it pretty well looked after? Um, yeah, pretty well looked after. Um, few little scratches here and there. All right. But overall pretty good. Okay. Uh, and the color? Is white. White in colour. Alright. I had one of these a little while ago, I’m just trying to remember what I paid and how much they’ve come back in price since then.

Uh, alright. Uh, I think it’s a, a private sale, you want private sale as well as trade figure. Yes, please. All right. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting in the mid 20s, so that 25 to 26, uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about three, about three to 4, 000 less than that.

Cool. All right. No worries. Okay. Thank you, Mel. Appreciate your call. Take care. Yes, thank you for your call Mel. All right, that just about wraps us up for this morning.

You’re listening to 4CRB’s Interviews and Talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. Yes, and a very good morning to you. And this morning, the easy way to do it is to call Adam Hall on 55208888, because the man with all the numbers in the head is sitting in front of me right now, raring to go.

He’s looking forward to a big program this morning. So I urge you to get on the phone and let Adam know. Let Adam do what he does best, and that is give you a valuation on your motorcar, a real time valuation on your motorcar in, as we always say, we’ve been saying it for a long time now, it seems like ages, but this still is a volatile market, Adam.

And good morning, by the way. Good morning, Wayne. You’re absolutely right. It’s nice to be back. It is. And, uh, the, the starting price for your car that before you put it on any website or think about putting it elsewhere, um, is a very important figure because your car could end up sitting with a lot of other cars that have been overpriced and you could lose what could happen in that period of time could cost you a lot of money.

So just, uh, for the sake of one phone call, 55208888. You can get a real time valuation on your motor car this morning with Adam. Okay, Adam, why don’t we go straight into the market update? I have. I’ve got a big market update here. This is what happened in April. Once again, we had a record month for new vehicle sales.

Yes. This is all this year. catch up of still the catch up it is it’s it’s probably going to go on for another few months uh but there was 92, 202 cars sold in april nationally nationally and normally april is not such a busy month because you’ve got people that Easter period. Uh, it’s a shorter month.

Uh, so it’s, it’s a little bit quieter, but, uh, 92, 000. an enormous result. Uh, up 18. 3 percent over last year at the same time. So it’s a, it’s a really big number. Uh, Should we take, uh, George’s call? Yes. I want to keep him waiting. It’s good morning to George. What’s your vehicle? George? Good morning, George. Um, yeah, Adam.

I’m thinking of buying this car, um, Adam, and I, I just want to make it, it, it seems a little bit too expensive. Too expensive, but, um, all right. I just want to see what you have to say. It. It’s a 2003 Ford XR six. XR six? Yes. And it’s a turbo. It’s a factory turbo. Oh, a turbo one. Um, yeah, it’s a, it’s one of the first ones.

The guy says it’s one of the first ones that they made or something. Well, ba in the ba. Yeah, that’s right. So they came out in really late 2002. So. 2003 would be one of the first ones that, uh, came through. Okay. It’s that bluey color, nice dark blue color. I know the color. All right. It’s got 135, 000 and I don’t know what else I can tell you.

It looks pretty tidy but, um, I’ll see what you say before I tell you what he’s asking. No, that’s okay. Is it a, is it a manual one or an automatic one? Um, it’s an auto. It’s an auto. I believe they did make them in the US. They did, yeah. It is, it is an auto. Okay, automatic. 2003. Gee, it’s got very low kilometres.

Uh, and, and the ones that are sought after are the turbos. If it was a standard XR6, it wouldn’t be worth a lot of money at all. Uh, but being a, being a turbo, it does make a difference. I would think, um, because the kilometres are low, um, um, I’m thinking in that sort of, uh, trying to, uh, thinking around that 13 to 14 would be the right, right price.

Oh, okay. Well, you’re pretty close. Um, it’s actually, it had, he had 17 down to 15. Okay. Yeah. So it’s still a little bit high. So I think around that, 13 to 14 would be the right, right price. Okay. Alright, that’s, that’s a very good, good bit of information. Thanks for your show, Adam. Appreciate I enjoyed very much.

Thank you, George. Appreciate your call. Thanks so much. Bye-Bye. Yeah, thank you George. And George, you’ve have the honor of putting Adam on the spot for the first call. You got within 3, 000 of this. It’s pretty good. Okay. It’s good morning to Ray. Good morning, Adam. Morning, Adam. Morning, everybody. Yeah. Thank you.

I have a 2015 Subaru Outback Premium. Machado’s black with white leather. Um, Turbo diesel, it’s a luxury one, and it’s got 165, 000km on it now. 165, 000km, ok. Um, and it’s the diesel one. Yep. How’s the condition, Ray? Is it pretty well looked after? Yes, yeah. It’s one owner, we’ve had it since new. It’s always been serviced in good condition.

Right. New new tyres, 6 months rego. Hmm, alright. Uh, now, would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure? Yes. Thank you Adam. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting around the, uh, around the 17 mark for it. Uh, yes. And if you were to trade it in, it’s gonna be about, uh, about two and a half to 3000, less than that.

All right. Thank you so much for your help. You’re very welcome. Great to hear you on the show. Thank you. Appreciate it. Bye bye. Okay. Yes. Thank you, Ray. And if you would like to join us now, all our lines are free. 5520 888 is the number for you get a valuation on your motor car. Okay. Back to our market update, I guess.

Yeah, it’s quite a big one, this one. Uh, so up 18. 3 percent overall. Uh, but the big mover was, uh, hybrid. So we’re up 194%, I believe. Again. Okay. But electric, uh, electric cars were down by 5. 1%. And that’s the first decline since, uh, November, 2020. So it’ll be interesting to see what, what happens, um, going forward, whether we’ve really hit that plateau with, uh, electric sales.

It was bound to happen, wasn’t it? Yes, absolutely. You know, I’m sure the Tesla board, aren’t surprised at the decline, not the decline, but the change in the positioning for electric cars because the public aren’t blind. They can now see that it requires a lot of thought. That’s right. I think a lot of people are looking to hybrid and thinking well, that’s that’s the best.

That’s the answer. Yeah, I don’t have to change the way I fuel up or anything like that, but I’m getting much better fuel economy. The the other factor with with hybrid cars is the resale value has been absolutely fantastic. That’s a big one. It is. So people want that certainty that you know, If I buy this car, that it’s going to be worth something in five years time.

Yes. And I bet the manufacturers really are more comfortable with that sort of change happening because it gives them a much more stable future. I mean, talking about destroying and terminating combustion engines was silly talk really, wasn’t it? I think so. To a certain degree, it just didn’t do anything for the future.

Well, I think eventually that will happen, but that needs to happen at, at a, a reasonable pace, not all of a sudden being putting in these timelines that are frankly ridiculous. Ridiculous timeframe. Yes. And that’s why the government’s manufacturers They’re all now rethinking, uh, how soon, uh, this should happen.

Yes. Because combustion engines are a way of life, not just for people who want to get from home to the office. You think about our farmers and our remote Australia and all of the, all of the, the lifestyles that we have in our country, combustion engines play a big role. It is. And there’s a, there’s an infrastructure set up that’s been set up over a long time, a long, long time.

That’s, uh, that’s very difficult to replace. It is indeed. Once again, an example of politicians pulling the trigger too soon. I’m surprised at that. All right. We’ve got, uh, Brett on the line. Good morning, Brett. Yeah. G’day, Adam. How can I help you, Brett? Um, I’m trying it out with a classic car. Oh, here we go.

This’ll be my test. What have you got? Uh, this one belonged to my parents. It was, it’s a 1975 Escort panel van with the glass windows on the side. Uh, done 68, 000 K’s original. Um, it’s in very good condition, although it’s in the workshop at the moment with carburettor, um, parts waiting. Ah, I see. Alright. So it’s a 75 Escort panel van and it’s a, it’s a genuine 68, 000 kilometres, is that right?

Genuine 68Ks, yep. Ah, that’s incredible. Mmm. What colour is it, Brett? I’m just trying to build that picture up. That’s true. It’s a khaki green colour, that they had in those days, yeah. And we’d call it, um, period correct colour. Yeah. Yeah, it sounds like a, it sounds like a great car. I’ll do some homework for you Brett, because I don’t want to just throw out a figure.

I have seen a couple of them, but not for, not for a long time. I’ll, I’ll do some homework. Yeah, I realise it’s a bit of a tricky one. It is, but I’ll do some homework and if you’re listening next week I can, um, let you know what, um, what the car’s worth. That’d be fantastic. Okay. Thank you, Brett. I appreciate your call.

I see. 2011. All leather inside. All right. I’ve done a hundred and seventy thousand k’s. One seventy, alright. In really good condition. Alright, and you said it was a wagon, didn’t you, Clinton? Yeah, a station wagon, yeah. What colour is it? Uh, it’s a metallic blue. A blue, alright. The light, not the dark, the lighter one.

The light blue, okay, alright. And would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade? Yeah, sure. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting around the, uh, with 170, 000 on it, around the 8, 500 for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about 2, 000 to 2, 500 less than that.

Okay. Oh, that’s great. Okay. No worries. Thank you very much. Appreciate your call. Bye. Bye now. Alright, we’ve got Brian on the line. Good morning, Brian. Good morning. How are you, Mark? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Good, I’ve got a Mitsubishi Outlander, 17 model, got 146, 000 on it, very, very clean.

Wife’s car, want to get rid of it. Alright, so it’s a 17 Outlander, uh, it’s just a two wheel drive one, is it Brian? Uh, yeah, you press the button and it can be four wheel drive. Okay, four wheel drive, alright. Um, does it have five seats or seven? Five seats. Five seats. All right. And it’s 2017 model. All right.

So 146, 000, probably a little bit more than the average that I see, um, for kilometers, uh, for, I’ll give you a private and, and trade value, um, I think is, uh, um, because the kilometers are a little bit. Uh, I think your private sale would be that 15, 000 to 16, 000 mark. Uh, and as a straight out sale, it’s going to be 2, 000 to 3, 000 less than that.

Okay. Alright. That’ll do. Thank you. Brian. Appreciate your call. I love it. That’ll do. Alright, now next caller. We’ve got Mark on the line. Good morning, Mark. Morning, mate. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Hi. My question isn’t about car valuation. My question is about, I brought a car just for Christmas, 30, 000 Isuzu, D MAX.

Um, I’ve had nothing but trouble with it. It’s been back and forth to the dealer, I brought it from. Um, out of the 6 months it’s been in the workshop, I’ve had the pleasure of driving it for 7 weeks. Really? Out of 6 months? Out of six months, mate. Yeah, I got it back Friday, I drove it 10 metres and the engine light’s come back on again.

Oh, that’s terrible. Um, they’ve had, uh, one CV joint not fixed, a four wheel drive gearbox, they reckon not fixed, it just clunks when it goes in the four wheel drive. I’m just at my withers there, mate, I really don’t know what to do, he’s not very nice to deal with. Um, I just would like someone just to point me in the right direction, where do I sit?

Oh, I just Look, the I can give you an idea. Look, I, I think if this, uh, this dealer is not giving you, uh, any satisfaction, the next step is to, speak to the Department of Fair Trading, um, and let them know what you’ve just told me. If you’ve had a car for only seven weeks out of six months, um, in my, this is just my opinion, the way that Australian Consumer law reads is that if you have a number of faults with a car, um, and you’ve been without it for that period of time and the dealer hasn’t repaired it, that’s deemed to be a major fault.

So when it’s a major fault, that means you’re entitled to a refund. Okay, thank you. Alright. So, so what I would suggest is you contact the Department of Fair Trading, uh, explain what has happened, and generally they’ll, they’ll talk directly with the dealer, and then if he’s not willing to do anything, then they set down a, a, a hearing, which is with QCAT.

Um, that’s the Civil and Administrative Tribunal and and they make a decision but based on what you’ve just told me I think you’d have a pretty good case to get a refund Yeah, look the first the last time he had it for about three months. He loaned me a car A trading. Yeah, and that was just blow and smoke.

I got pulled over by the coppers twice that explained me. Sorry Yeah, see that That doesn’t matter if you’ve been given, if you, it doesn’t matter if you’re given a loan car, you bought it at Isuzu dmax and you should be able to use that car and if you haven’t been able to use it, you should be entitled to a refund.

Alright, no worries. And Mark, thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah, mark, before you brief that up, mate. Thank you. Mark, before you go, it’s Wayne here. Um, will you let us know how you get on with the process? Um. Once you’ve gone, because the process that Adam just outlined to you doesn’t happen overnight. So have patience with it though because, um, you’re, you’re, you’re in the driving seat and it might be interesting to, for all of our listeners to hear what the outcome was for you.

Okay? Alright, no worries, thank you, I will. Okay, good on you, Mark. Alright, very much. No, that’s alright, I appreciate any help I can get. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, mate, good luck with it. Yeah, that’s an awkward situation. It is. Okay, we’ve got another caller. Tracy. Oh, we’ve got Tracy. Good morning, Tracy. Hi, how are you?

Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Uh, I’d like to get a car evaluation. Certainly, what have you got there? I’ve got a 2015 XR6. Okay. Immaculate condition, just on 70, 000 Ks. Oh, it’s got nice, nice low kilometres. And it’s got hard top. Sorry, it’s got a Hard top. Oh, hard top. So it’s a Falcon XR6, did you say?

No, no, no, no, no. It’s a Ute XR6. Oh, XR6 Ute. Okay. All right. Now I’m on the right path. I was picturing this sedan. I’m thinking, with a hard top. Yeah. Interesting. All right. So it’s an XR6 Ute. Uh, and sorry, what were the kilometres again, Tracy? Uh, I just, almost 70,000 Ks on it. 70. All right. Kilometers are, uh, are nice and low.

Uh, and the color? White. White in color. Good color. Alright. Uh, would you like a private sale value as well as a trade? Uh, yeah, sure. Why not? Alright. Uh, I think as a private sale, uh, I think you should be expecting around the 25 to 26 for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about 3000 less than that.

Really? Hmm. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Tracy. Thank you. Appreciate your call. Okay. Bye bye. Okay. Really? Really? It’s hard to say whether really is a positive or really is a positive. Oh, let’s take it as being a positive. All right. We’ve got, uh, just over ten, just over five minutes, uh, to go. It’s time for you to get on the phone.

All our lines are free. Double five. 20888 for you to get that very important valuation on your motor car before you try to sell it. And you can do that right now. Double five, two zero, double eight, double eight. Okay, Adam, are we still on the market update? We are, we’ve only just begun. Oh really? I’ll get into, I’ll get into the brands.

So Toyota finished number one again, as we always know. Yes. But the interesting thing is that they sold 20, 771 cars, which was an increase of 72. 7 percent over this time last year, and last year they were having a lot of issues with supply. Delivery problems. Yeah, they had, and they were, 30%, but it’s an incredible result to bounce back to that.

It is that, considering they knocked, they were knocked off on the number one with the Hilux. That’s right, the Hilux. That’s right. Yeah. Finishing in number two was Ford and Ford have been, uh, they’ve really risen a lot over the last 12 to 18 months. Uh, 8, 848 of those were sold. That was up 71. 3 percent.

Mazda, which is normally in number two, they finished in third spot. 7,301, they’re up a modest 5.4%, right? Yes. Uh, Kia, uh, in fourth spot. 6, 6, 5, 3. Uh, and then Mitsubishi in fifth spot, uh, with 5,314. Yeah. But they’re rubber figures aren’t they? Because of clearing the backlog. Correct. You wouldn’t get excited.

The board wouldn’t No. Get excited over those figures? No. Okay. Alright, we’ve got, uh, Edward on the line. Good morning, Edward. Hey, uh, good morning, Adam and Wayne. Hey, I just want to know, what actually is a hydro car? Hydro, uh, hydrogen? Yeah. Hydrogen, um, well Is that, is that the ones you were talking about, you know?

No, no, what we were talking about is hybrid, so, uh, so Yeah, hybrid. Hybrid, okay, so hybrid has a combustion engine, but it also has an, has an electric engine as well. So it’s got both. So the car, so you’re getting better fuel economy, um, because you’ve, you’ve got that, um, electric engine that’s backing up your power as well.

So when, say if you’re using your electric engine and it starts going flat, And then you go over to your combustion engine, does that recharge the batteries in the other one too? Correct, so it automatically does it, so it just, so when you need the extra power, so generally once you’re out on the road with a hybrid vehicle and operating at speed, well, the, the engine is, the combustion engine is, is working, um, but it’s regenerating your, uh, your electric battery at the same time.

So there’s nothing that you need to do. And that’s the big plus. It is. That’s right. Yeah. And there are just a small engine in them, are they, combustion? Uh, no, not necessarily, no, a lot still have that, they still have a, a fairly, uh, uh, Let’s say the RAV4, the RAV4, uh, the, it still comes with a 2. 5 litre engine.

Uh, so 2. 5 litre four cylinder, but it’s got the electric one on top. So it’s just not using that power all the time. Yeah, yeah, I understand. Yeah. Yeah, I wasn’t sure and I thought, oh, larks. Yeah, no, that’s a good question. Good question. I’m sure you probably answered a lot of other people’s questions about it as well.

Yeah. Okay. Thank you, Edwin. Appreciate your call. Yeah, and if you have anything that we do talk about and you don’t understand it, by all means, you’re invited to give us a call. We’ve got about three minutes to go. That’s our usual deadline. coming up and we can take our usual 100 calls if you get on the phone right now, don’t do that.

But if you’ve got a question, why don’t you get on quickly now, 55208888 is the number and all our lines are ready to go for you. All right, Adam, still with the update? Yes. So we got to the top five. Uh, I just wanted to mention that Tesla finished 13th, which is one of the, uh, lesser results they’ve had in recent times.

Um, they were back 43. 5 percent on this time last year. So that’s obviously had a big impact on electric sales. Uh, the models, uh, RAV4 finished number one. So this is this backlog of all these orders. Uh, so they delivered 5, 857 of those increase of 166%. Uh, and that’s including the hybrid version. Well, There was actually 95 percent of those orders were hybrid.

Oh well, gee, it’s telling something, isn’t it? It certainly is. Ranger was 5, 569 in second spot. Uh, Hilux, uh, third, 4683. The Ford Everest, they went quite well, 2, 400 of those. And then in fifth spot was the Isuzu D Max. Hmm. Uh, we might go into, uh, talk about propulsion. You like this one. I love it. You love it.

Thank you. So petrol still pretty strong, but they did have a decline last month, 40, 565 petrol cars were sold. Uh, so minus 4. 3%, uh, diesel was up 21. 9%. So very good result, uh, hybrid, uh, 16, 466 up 194. 5 percent as I mentioned. Yeah. Big result for hybrid, uh, electric back 5. 1%. So 6, 194 of those and the plug in hybrid 1, 300 of those, but they were up, up 138.

5%. Well, it says that there’s a healthy market out there in car sales. Wow. Okay. Adam, well, we’re right on closing time, so we better close the doors now. And if anyone would like to, if they’re, you know, just coming home now and they’ve. Forgot to ring. They can contact you. Absolutely. Uh, 0404 290 617. Thank you, mate.

So you don’t hang around because this market doesn’t continues to be very volatile. Absolutely. And in a volatile market like this, it can cost you a lot of dollars. So, it’s wise to get an opinion from Adam, and he is here now waiting for your call on 5520 8888. And you can do that right now. Okay, Adam, let’s um, have a, uh, Bit of a chat now with our, uh, market and our, um, review of various, various, uh, items here.

I’ve got a whole list here, so I’ll leave it to you to pick up. I, I’ve read this story about, uh, an example of the, the cheapest cars that are available on the market. Yes. The most expensive. Yes. And there’s some expensive ones. Absolutely. So, I’ll go through the, uh, the cheapest models first. So the, the cheapest car that you can buy right now, uh, is 19, 490 on the road.

That’s brand new. Uh, it’s the MG3. No wheels, but you can, you can sit in it. Well, surprisingly, they come with a lot of features. Do they really? Just shows you can be done. It can be done. That’s right. So 19, 490 and that includes all the on road costs. Yes, gee. Then the second cheapest is the Kia Picanto. Um, that’s 21, 490.

Um, little compact hatch. And then you go to the Suzuki Ignis at 24, 500. So that’s, that’s the cheapest. Yeah. So now let’s go into the most expensive. Uh, in, uh, in third spot, we’ve got the Ferrari SF90, that’s, uh, 846, 000 plus on road costs in standard form. How much was that again? 846, 000. I’ll have one. Just one, please.

It buys a few MG3s. It doesn’t, ever. And then we go to the Lamborghini, uh, Revu, Revu, uh, Revu, Elto. Um, that’s, that’s harder to, that’s really hard to say. Lamborghini. Lamborghini, that’s, uh, 987, 000 plus on road costs. Oh my goodness. And then the Rolls Royce Phantom, uh, that starts at 1, 085, 000 plus on road costs.

It’s hard to comprehend. Really is, isn’t it? Imagine if you park your Roller in the, uh, Woolworths, um, or the, uh, Shopping Centre car park. Not likely. Not likely. Alright, we’ve got our first call, Adam. We might go to Val. Good morning Val. Good morning Val. Good morning Adam. How can I help you Val? I’ve got, I’ve got a Honda Jazz VTI 2014.

It’s a Rally Red, it’s automatic, and it’s got 59, 630 k’s on the clock. 59, 000, alright, um, Nice colour, Rally Red, it’d go a little bit faster than the average one. They do. Oh yeah, yeah definitely. Now how’s the condition Val, is it well looked after? It’s good. Alright. Yeah, well looked after. Alright, so 59, 000 kilometres.

And would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure? Yes, please mate. Alright. I think, uh, to sell it privately, uh, I think you should be expecting around, uh, 11, 000 for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it would be about 2, 000 to 2, 500 less than that. Okay. 2, 000 to 2, 500 less. Okay.

Correct. Okay. Thank you so much. You’re very welcome. I appreciate your call. I’d love to start. Thank you. Thank you. Bye bye. Bye. Okay, bye Val, thank you for that, and Bob’s up next, and if you’d like to get in line now, you can call on 5520 888. Okay, Bob, what’s your car? Good morning, Bob. Hello. Good morning, Bob.

Hello, Alan. How can I help you going? Very well, thank you. I just wanted to get an idea for insurance again, and we did last year as well, but Uh, the insurance company I’m with has really whacked up the, uh, premium and I want to get a, I actually went, went to another and got another quote. They only, uh, quote would be the market value for the car, but, uh, the car is, is in top condition and it’s, uh, got low kilometers and all the rest.

I wanted to get something fairer from, from this new insurer if I could. Certainly. Um. What sort of car is it? Well, it’s a, uh, a fifth night in a 2015 Audi. A4, but, uh, first registered August 16, so it’s about 8, coming up 8 years old, yeah. Okay, alright. Uh, it’s a TFSI S Tronic Sport, 140kW. Kilowatt, alright. Uh, Matador Red.

Automatic sedan, um, yep, uh, in top top condition because it’s just been garaged all its life. It’s got 66, 000 K’s on it. Hmm, alright. Very low kilometers. Just an idea of the, uh, current, uh, market value, yeah. All right, uh, being a 2015, it’s got, uh, as you say, it has got low kilometers for, for the year. Um, do you mind if I ask what the insurance company, um, gave you as a, as a value?

Well, the one I’m with now, and I don’t think I’ll go with them because I whacked the premium up about 35%, uh, is 20, 700. Mm, okay. Uh,

I do think it’s, uh, I actually think, uh, if you were to try and replace that car, you would probably have to pay more than that to get one. So, yeah, so because it’s got such low kilometers, um, yeah, I think you would probably, let’s say it was stolen or something like that, I think you would probably have to pay 22, 000 or 23, 000 to replace it.

So I think you should be trying to find an insurance company that’s prepared to give you that sort of value, but at a reduced premium. Yeah, sure, hopefully. All right. Okay. Well, that’s a good guide. Thank you. Thanks, Andrew. You’re welcome. Yeah. Thank you, Bob. Okay. Bye bye. Bye. So, generally, you can get that value, the value increased, but your premium It’s a matter of shopping around.

It’s just shopping around. You’ve got to check out other companies. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s a tough call. The way with anything with insurance at the moment, it’s a tough tag. It certainly is. And a lot of work. But it’s worth it at the end of the day. Okay, Bob. Thank you for your call. Yeah, thanks for your help.

Have a good day Bob. Okay, let’s move on and Tony up next. Good morning, Tony. Good morning, Adam. Um, Adam, I’ve got a 2016 CX 5 all wheel drive 2. 5 litre. Alright. And approximately 61, 000 km. Alright. One owner. 61, okay. Uh, is it the Max or Max Sport? Uh, do you know? Oh, the Max. The Max. It’s a Max, alright.

So it’s got 61, 000 kilometers and it’s the 2. 5 petrol and what color is it Tony? Uh, Racey Red. Racey Red. It’s the third red car we’ve had in three red cars today. That’s incredible. Ha ha ha. Everybody loves red today. Uh, alright. Sounds like a very, uh, very nice car. It’s got low kilometres, so it will be worth more than the average one.

Uh, would you like, uh, private sale value as well as trade? Yes please, if I could do that. All right. Uh, I think if you were to, um, sell it, uh, privately, you should be expecting in the really late teens, around the 18 to 19. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about two to two and a half thousand less than that.

All right. Yeah. Can you also tell me what’s, um, I’m interested in getting a SCODA. What are they like for resale values? after you’ve had them a couple of years? Uh, not as strong as some other models. They can be, uh, if you’re, if you’re planning on only keeping it for two or three years, I probably wouldn’t recommend going down that path because it’s quite a, quite a shock how much you lose in that period.

Um, but if you’re, if you’re planning on keeping it for long term, uh, I do believe they’re a very good car. They’ve got all the VW and Audi, so, uh, I don’t think you should have an issue there, but resale at this point is a little bit, uh, less than some other comparable models. Okay. All right. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Tony. Bye bye. Thank you. Cheers. Bye bye. Yes. Thank you for your call, Tony. And, uh, you can get on to Adam right now if you call 5520 8888. And you will, uh, yep, yep, you’ll be next in line. So go to the phone now, 5520 8888. Okay, Adam, did we finish our cheapest and dearest car? I think we did. We got to 1.

2 million. We can’t beat that. A million and eighty five. But the thing to think about with those cars is generally that’s in base spec and there’s normally a lot of other features that people will end up buying. You’re giving the car price, not the on road price. That’s right. Stamp duty. Stamp duty. I think even dealer delivery is incredibly, like 10, 000 or something like that, just for that.

So it’s a lot of money. Big investment. I guess if you’ve got it, you can do it. That’s right. Alright. Why don’t we have a quick break? Um, uh, mention on the speed camera that, uh, the State, uh, Roads Department were skiting about, uh, well I shouldn’t say skiting, it was a feature on most of the, uh, State news services, uh, last night.

Mm. It’s a, it’s a concerning one because, uh, it’s, uh, and a lot of people talk about this and I know that. Um, we’ve often talked about this Bermuda Street at Rudd Street. I’ve contributed to the Police Superannuation Fund. And I have too. So has many other people that I’ve spoken to. And we shouldn’t lie, we shouldn’t make a joke of it because it is a serious, we believe it’s a serious issue.

It is. But, uh, so that Bermuda Street, um, uh, speed camera there was 14, 369 fines in the last, Yeah. Just in the last financial year. It’s a lot of people, a lot of people in what really can be said to be an unfair, unfair situation with the, as you come off the M1 into Bermuda Street, coming off there, you’re traveling at between Ks for quite a long way.

And then suddenly it stops to 60. That’s right. Well, it begs the question, you ask, well, why are so many people being caught in that zone? I don’t think that it’s, all those people are just being reckless and speeding. It really does catch you by surprise. It’s a road that, it’s just a straight, straight road with three lanes either side.

Yeah. And you would I think that 60 kilometers an hour is, is too low for that sort of area. And I think that’s why so many people get caught. They get caught. And as I said to you off air, I believe, strongly believe that they should take, instead of building up how much money they’ve they’ve taken, they should do a research, those 14, 000 people, at least 30 percent of them privately, retaining the confidentiality aspect of it, but have a chat with some of those people, because some of them may have lost their license because of that speeding fine, and they could be contractors, and it has a huge social issue on some of our people, and if it’s an unfair location, we’re Put your hand up and make adjustments.

Don’t keep scouting about the number of fines you’ve taken and the number of, and the revenue from that. Well, the one thing I don’t see very often in that area is car accidents. We don’t Yes. So Yeah. Generally, speed cameras are put in areas where There’s already an issue with safety, but that doesn’t seem to be the problem.

So come on new Premier, or Premier, let’s have a look at that as an issue and get some sense into researching Rudd Street. It’s not good enough.

Okay Adam, um, You might have noticed, I wanted to, it’s a pretty important one because Yep. I’ve spoke, I’ve spoken to a couple of people just in the last couple of weeks that have been caught with this issue, uh, and it’s, it’s about, uh, repaired write off vehicles.

There’s a lot of these cars in the market right now, uh, and there’s a lot of people being caught out buying them privately and not being aware that the car has been previously written off. Written off. So what, what I mean by repaired write off is that an insurance company can, uh, write off a car and there’s.

There’s two paths they can go down. It can be a statutory write off. So that means it can never be put on the road again and never be registered. But then there’s another category, which is called a repaired write off. So they go to a salvage auction. A lot of these. Panel beaters, um, repairers buy them, they buy them very cheap, uh, they fix them often with second hand parts and, and that sort of thing, um, and they have to go through a, uh, they have to pass an inspection to get back on the road, but there’s so many out there that just aren’t what I believe that are up to standard, and, um, People are paying what they would normally pay for a car that hasn’t been written off.

Uh, and then when they go to either sell again, or they’re trying to get insurance, or all sorts of things, people have, uh, it’s really costing them a lot of money. And they find out the bad news. It’s better to do the check for a small amount of money before you pay out the money. Well, it’s, it’s two dollars to do the check, and every time I buy a car, that’s what I do.

I go on to the ppsr. gov. au and the first thing it will tell you is whether, uh, there’s any, uh, finance owing on the car, uh, whether it’s been stolen, uh, stolen status or written off status. Yes, it makes sense. So for 2, you just need to go to ppsr. gov. au, uh, and that will give you the, the history check. But, uh, dealers actually have to give you, they have to tell you if a car has been written off before, the private dealer.

Private sellers don’t. So that’s why it’s, uh, that’s a big problem. Gee, it’s an informative program this morning. We’re, we’re keeping you up to date with, uh, buying and selling your car. And the most important thing you can do right now, if you’re thinking of selling your car, is to get a real time valuation from Adam this morning.

And all our lines are currently free. Double five two zero, double eight, double eight is the number. And it’s 22 minutes past 10. I just thought I’d drop that in for you. We’re running out of time fast. So if you want to do it, do it now. 55208888 is the number. Okay, Elon Musk has made a, quite a, an outstanding comment with regard to the, uh, um, EV.

Well, they’ve been talking, uh, apparently there’s a number of, they’re laying off a number of staff within Tesla because their sales aren’t where they need to be. Uh, so I think it’s in the thousands and thousands of people have been laid off. One of the issues that Elon Musk has acknowledged that EVs are under a lot of pressure right now, uh, globally due to the popularity of hybrids.

power. A lot of manufacturers are putting a lot of their resources into hybrid power rather than electric and the buying public are really enjoying that product and wanting to buy it because it’s still at a reasonable price and good fuel efficiency. As well, and it’s a step towards electric, but not totally going that way.

So the Tesla is, and other electric car companies are struggling because of that. And it brings in other practical aspects of it too. You’ve got, you’ve got no limitations on your range. That’s right. And you’re not losing money on a resale. No, nothing really changes. It’s hybrid power right now. The resale value is incredible.

Yes. Okay. It really is. Okay. Makes sense. All right. We’ve got Noel on the line. Good morning Noel. Are you there Noel? Yeah, hi. Good morning gentlemen. Good morning. Thank you. We love being called gentlemen. How can I help you Noel? It’s well deserved. Um, Adam, I have a Mazda BT 50 for sale. I see. It’s a November 22, the extra cab.

Um. It’s four wheel drive automatic. It’s got, uh, aluminum drop side tray and tow bars. It’s, um, it’s done 36, 000. But that’s been almost predominantly on the highway. It’s never been on gravel or not even engaged four wheel drive. It was purchased, um, to pull an off road caravan around the countryside. I see.

Circumstances changed and that scenario will not eventuate. I understand, alright. Uh, so it’s a 4×4, um, extra cab. Uh, is it, is it the XT model, Noel? The, the XT, yes. XT, alright, XT. Uh, so does it have a bull bar as well or just the, the tray and the table? No ballpark? No, just the, just those two. Alright. And would you like a, a private sale figure?

Yes, please. Alright. Uh, they are a bit challenging at the moment because the, the new car, um, dealers are really discounting these a lot at the moment, uh, because there’s a lot of stock of, of BT 50 out there. So you’ve just gotta be really careful what you price it at because, uh, people are walking into dealerships and getting up to $10,000 discount on.

on new BT 50s, uh, so I think, uh, based on, uh, the kilometers travelled, uh, it sounds like it’s a very nice vehicle, uh, I think you should be, uh, November 22, uh, I think you should be asking around that 36 to 37 for it. Uh huh. Alright. That’s, uh, that’s private. That’s for a private sale, that’s right. Uh, okay, and a deal of two or three less than that.

Yes, that’s right. Alright. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. That gives me a good working figure. Thank you, Noel. Thanks a lot. Appreciate your call. Bye bye. Thank you, Noel, for your call. Yeah, it’s a catch 22, isn’t it? Manufacturers need to manage their business as they see fit and, uh, and the discounts and bonuses that come into play.

Yeah. Um, That model in particular at the moment, uh, I’m talking to a lot of people that have been struggling to sell their late model BT 50s and that’s, that’s why. Yeah. There’s a lot of stock in dealerships at the moment. So they’re really pushing them and putting big bonuses on them to move them. Yeah.

That’s one of the advantages that you get when you ring in for a valuation on your motor car, Adam is still walking the streets, if I can put it that way, talking to actual owners, uh, on selling their, on purchasing their car and, and that Uh, sort of business that keeps him up to date with what’s happening in, in this very volatile industry.

And having said that, you’ve got about four minutes of our program left for you to, uh, get on the phone right now. So go to it, 5520 888 is the number to get a real time valuation on your motor car. Do you want to mention the, uh, good looking, smart The, the, the cyber truck. The cyber truck, which is on sale in the U.

S. at the moment. It is. For a crazy amount of money. Yeah, it’s, uh, it was released It is six figures, isn’t it? It is. Six figures, yes. Yeah, I think that it, it starts at about 80 something, but it goes up to a lot higher than that, depending on the range and power output and, and that sort of thing, but, uh, it, it, it’s doing a tour of the the country at the moment.

So it’s a left hand drive one that’s been imported from the United States. Uh, and it’s doing a tour of the Tesla showrooms around the country. Uh, so it was spotted on the roads cause it has temporary Queensland number plates on it. Okay. Um, Being a left hand drive car, it’s only a temporary plate, uh, so it’s, it’s really grabbing a lot of attention, that’s for sure.

Oh, it’s ugly. Exactly, for that reason. I wasn’t going to say that. It’s standard, not being unkind to the brand, but they obviously turned it out as an ugly car. Yes. And, uh, it just shows you people, uh, people It’s unique. It certainly is. It’s attracting attention that way. Well, it looks like something that you and I built in the garage.

It really does. It does. But for the next few weeks, I think it’s in the southern states, but I think at some point it will be coming to Brisbane as well. So if you’re keen, maybe have a look online and see whether you can find out the dates for that one. I’d be happy to. I don’t have too much interest in seeing it at this point, but uh, it certainly does.

The one thing it does do is grab attention because it looks like nothing else on the road. That’s ever been produced. That’s right. Okay. 55208888. If you’d like to get in quickly, you can still get a valuation on your motor car. And um, I think we started this one off last week and we didn’t get to it, uh, Honda, uh, have recorded, Not a good year.

No. They had a, a very, very tough, um, year last year with sales. Uh, actually we better take, uh, Henry call. Yes, we will. Good morning, Henry. Good morning, Henry. Good morning. Adam. How can I help you? Henry? I’ve got a, I’ve got a 2004 Camry achieve the dark red color. There were two reds. Oh yes, I know the, I know the color.

Yes. Uh, the, and it got 190,000. 641 on the clock, I’m sitting in the car at the moment. Alright, is it a 4 cylinder one or a V6, Henry? 4 cylinder. 4 cylinder, alright. And how’s the condition? Pretty well looked after is it? Pretty well, it’s been in the garage all of its life, 90 percent of its time. Okay, alright.

Inside is immaculate. Outside, not too bad. I’ve got one back corner with a, uh, car park scratched on one. I understand. Alright, now, would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade? Private sale, private sale. Alright, private sale. And the, and the trade as well. Alright. Uh, look, it sounds like a really, uh, Um, there’s just a limit to what they’re worth now because it is 20 years old.

Um, the kilometers are pretty good. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting around the, the 3 to 3 and a half thousand for it. Um, and if you were to trade it in, it’s probably, probably about a thousand to 1500 less than that. Oh, okay. Alright. And it takes it to zero.

Yeah, it does drop it away a bit, doesn’t it? Yeah, you’re right. Yeah. Yeah. Three to three and a half. Three to three and a half private. Yeah, I was thinking about three. If someone wanted, it’d be a good car for someone to spend three grand on. Yeah, it sounds like a good little car. All right, well, I appreciate your call, Henry.

I hope that information’s helped you. Very much. Thanks, Adam. Thank you. Bye now. Good on you, Henry. Thank you. And that just about wraps us up for this morning. And, uh, if, uh, our listeners would still like to get in contact with you after we close the program, your mobile number? Of course. Uh, 0404 290 617.

You’re listening to 4CRB’s interviews and talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. Yes, it is the new, easy way to sell your car, and I’ve got a list in front of me of reasons why you should be calling Adam Hall.

But first of all, let’s say good morning to the man who’s been here for a hundred years, and, uh, in the same seat, and he’s got the same book as well. It’s good morning to Adam Hall. I didn’t forget it this time. Good morning, Wade. Nice to be back with you again, and to our listeners, we invite you to call on 5520 888 for this very important half an hour that you’re going to listen to now, and that is getting a valuation on your motor car for resale, and resale in a market that is going up.

and down and sideways and all over the place. Certainly is. And it’s still coming to grips with an adjustment of electric motorcars as well. And that just sort of makes it even more, creates even more turmoil. Well it’s just such a shift as well. I’m talking to a lot of people now that, So many people are getting out of the likes of small hatchbacks and getting into something that’s a little bit higher off the ground.

That’s, that’s also having an impact. There’s, uh, what engine should I buy? And those sort of questions. Yes, there’s so many considerations in buying your car today. That’s right. So many. So there’s a lot of questions that people are asking and that, uh, the decisions are. having an impact on values of cars that we used to buy, say, five to ten years ago.

Mm. Because, uh, there’s definitely a big shift in, in, uh, Yes, it’s a huge shift, and, uh, our simple little program, uh, has evolved over some twelve or thirteen years, and, uh, we’re meeting the need for it. for you to get the right price for your motor car and it’s never been more important for you as a car owner looking to sell your car to have the right price because you could sit on one of the key on the websites, for example, for months on end and in that time the market could go up.

It could fall, it could rise, it could go anywhere. That’s right. So getting the right price for you to turn your car over and get into a brand new car is the way to go. And we have that to offer to you this morning. And the very important number for you to call right now is double five. 2 0 8 8, 8 8. And if you’re wanting to get, uh, a revaluation for insurance or Centrelink purposes, Adam can do that for you as well.

If you’ve got the big beast in the garage and every time you walk into the garage you think, oh gee, how much is sitting there? Let Adam tell you how much is sitting there. Well, one of the things, uh, I was talking to somebody yesterday, uh, that I purchased their car because they’re really just not using it.

And we worked out with the, the insurance, the registration, um, maintenance, and this was just a, a small four cylinder car. So if you’ve got a big, uh, bigger car than that, it costs a lot more. Yes. But we worked out it was at least, at least 4, 000 to 5, 000 a year. That’s just CRM. CRM. Just CRM. Not even doing anything.

So, yes, it’s a worthwhile, it’s worthwhile doing some thinking. So we’re here for you this morning on 5520 8888. Okay. Let’s have a little, a little chat on the, uh, on the market update and, uh, do you want to start with the 60th anniversary? Yes. How about that? That’s why we talk about the, uh, It’s the 60th anniversary this year of the Ford Mustang.

And what a great car. Oh, amazing car. Vroom, vroom. I look, I looked at another one a couple of weeks ago. It was a four cylinder one. The, uh, Oh, that’s the one. Throaty. Yeah. Throaty. Ha ha ha ha. We, we better take this. We’ve got our first caller. It’s good morning to Alan. Alan, go ahead. What car can you, uh, tell us about?

Good morning, Alan. Good morning, I’ve got a, uh, 2015 Mazda CX 3, just the basic model, uh, 90k. Alright, 90, 000, so it’s just the Neo model, and did you say it was white in colour? Yeah, white CX 3. White in colour, good, good colour, and Excellent condition. Excellent. Alright. Uh, would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade?

Yeah, please. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell that one, uh, privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 14 to 14 and a half for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it would be a couple of thousand less than that. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. You’re welcome. Thank you, Alan. Yes, thank you for your call, Alan.

Okay, let’s keep the calls coming in. 55208888 is the number for you to get that very valuable valuation on your motor car for trading it in or doing a private sale or whatever you plan to do with it. 55208888 is the number. We might finish that Mustang story. Ah, yes, the throaty Mustang story. Stand . So 60th anniversary of the Ford Mustang.

Hey, hey Adam. A lot of our listeners wouldn’t say, what’s he talking about? Throaty? . What is this? A new language or something that, that beautiful sound, , the sound that comes out of that, those exhaust pipes have been referred to for a. A hundred years has been a throaty exhaust. A throaty exhaust. That’s right.

Okay . So, uh, the car was released, uh, at the World Fair in 1964, so that 64 that brings us to, uh, 60 years. But, uh, I had a further look into it and there’s over. 10 million of Mustangs that have been sold. I’d say the fair majority of them would be in the U. S. Yes. Uh, but that’s an incredible, uh, milestone.

Milestone. 60 years and over 10 million cars. It’s amazing, an amazing record for, uh, Ford. It is. Mmm. The Ford of, uh, their, uh, They’re releasing a 60th anniversary model and apparently you can order the car with the the retro gauges from the original car. So that’d be a quite a nice nice thing to look at.

What a way to celebrate. Absolutely. All of those sales. Okay, 55208888 is the number for you to get a valuation on your motor car this morning with Adam Hall and Market, uh, I thought we might talk about We’re always talking about numbers of cars that Sell in Australia, and I talk about that every month, but there’s some Statistics about what we spent last year on cars, and that’s it’s it’s incredible.

This is this is frightening It is so Australians spent 67 billion dollars on on new cars last year Which is an incredible number apparently the the average price of a new car now is Just under 60, 000. The average. So that’s gone up a lot over, over the years. Uh, it’s incredible that, uh, we’re getting to that number.

So just over 60, 000, uh, per car, uh, some of the top cars. So the, the Ford Ranger, there was 4. 3 billion spent on, on the new Ford Ranger. Uh, the Hilux was 3. 5 billion. Uh, the Tesla Model Y, which is the SUV. Two and a half billion dollars worth of those, uh, and the Land Cruiser 300, uh, which is not, doesn’t really, uh, generally get into the top ten, but because it’s such an expensive vehicle, uh, there was two billion dollars worth of, uh, Land Cruisers sold.

And you can imagine the stamp duty and the GST, they’d be in the billions as well. I don’t have the statistics for luxury car tax because we don’t, we don’t know exactly what was sold that, um, was luxury car tax affected, but, uh, just in GST that was paid to the government was 6. 09 billion. Billion dollars.

Billion dollars. And then in, uh, state, um, stamp duties going to the state governments, two and a half to three billion dollars just there. In just incredible numbers. We’re not even thinking about fuel excise. And you’re talking about the fuel, the advertising, insurance, insurance. Oh my goodness, gracious me.

Alright, all our loans are free. We’re waiting for you to call. double five two zero double eight double eight is the number for you to get on and get a valuation on your valuable motor car. And um, a couple of, uh, EV manufacturers are joining forces to share their, uh, EV technology. Well, they’re, they’re mainstream manufacturers.

It’s a Nissan and Honda in Japan. They’re I’ve announced a strategic partnership to share their electric technology. So, pooling their resources and those advancements in that technology, they’ll share together. A lot of companies do that, particularly when there’s new, uh, technology coming through. So it’ll be interesting to see, uh, how they, uh, move forward with, uh, this issue that a lot of people have with the range of these batteries.

That’s the big one with them, isn’t it? It is. So I think, uh, that should be a good one. And a good one. And we’ve got Jane on the phone. Jane, what’s your card, Jane? Go ahead. Good morning, Jane. Good morning. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? That’s good. Um, just wondering, um, on a price on a Nissan X Trail 2006.

Um, it’s got, uh, two hundred and, uh, what is it? Two hundred and seventy two thousand on the clock. 2 72. Alright, now in, uh, T 30, T 30 model. All right. Uh, now in 2006, uh, there was, there was a limited edition. Is it just the ST model or, or is it an, there’s an STS, which has a sunroof, uh, or there’s, yes, it does have a sunroof.

Yes. Okay. I, I assume it would be the SDS. All right. Mm-Hmm. . And is it automatic? Jane? Yes. Automatic. Automatic as well. Alright, uh, how’s the condition? Is it pretty well looked after? Um, yeah. Pretty good? Yep. Pretty good? Yep. Alright. Now, would you like a private sale figure for that one? Um, both, yeah. Alright, so private sale, the kilometres are, I wouldn’t say they’re high for the year, but they’re just, just high, so there’s a limit to what they’re worth once you get to those sort of kilometres.

Uh, I think as a private sale, probably around that three to three and a half thousand. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be, I’d say it’ll be about two thousand as a trade. 2000. All right. Okay. Well, thank you for that. You’re welcome. Thank you Jane. I appreciate your call. Yes, thank you Jane. Another happy customer there.

And you can be a happy customer as well by calling now on 5520 8888 and getting a valuation or a re evaluation for reinsurance on your motor car for Centrelink or insurance purposes. And it’s good morning to, is that Bill? It is. Good morning, Bill. Oh, good morning. How can I help you? Um, I’ve got a November 2015, um, Holden Cruise SRIV, uh, it’s got a hundred and forty one thousand K, all wheel steering garage, just like new.

Alright, a hundred and forty one thousand, uh, and is it automatic, Bill? Yeah, automatic, yes. Automatic, uh, is it the hatchback or the sedan? Hatchback. Hatchback. Got all the letters in. That sort of thing. Yeah. Alright. So SRIV and sounds like it’s in pretty good order for the age and kilometres. Uh, would you like a private sale as well as trade figure?

Both please. It’d be fine. Alright. I think, uh, if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be asking around the 6, 000 mark for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be a couple of thousand less than that. Okay. All right. That helps me. I’ve got my eye on another car, but I don’t know whether he’s asking too much money for it.

I don’t know whether he could help me out with that. Sure. What are you looking at? It’s a Mercedes Benz, um, 2014. Uh, eighty, eighty five thousand, say. Is it a C Class Mercedes, or? Yeah, it’s a C Class 250 diesel. C 250 diesel, and it’s the coupe, alright. Uh, sorry, how many kilometres has it travelled? Um, eighty five.

Eighty five, alright. And what price are they asking for it? 25. 25. All right. Uh, I think it’s a little high. Uh, I think somewhere around that 22 to 23 would be a fair price. Yeah, that’s what I thought too. All right. Okay. Okay. You’re welcome Bill. Thank you for your call. All right. We’ve got a Peter on the line.

Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Adam. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? I’ve got a bit of an old girl I’d like a price on. Not the wife, it’s the car. I’m going to say, be careful. I don’t know what I was going to say to that. How can I help you, Peter? She wouldn’t devalue the motor vehicle if she goes with it.

Ah, very good, very good. You got out of that, you got out of that, Peter. I’m good at that. What have you got there? It’s a Camry Altice, 07 model. 2007? 372 on the clock. Oh gee, 372, alright. Like me, it’s been around for a while and it looks a bit like it. Alright, 372, uh, and, uh, A condition, is it reasonable for the kilometres?

Reasonable. Okay. Yeah. Alright. And are you just wanting to sell it privately? Look, I think as a trade in there wouldn’t be a lot of value there. No. But if it’s, if it’s running and air conditioning works and all those sorts of things, which with Camrys they tend to go forever, uh, I think probably asking price around that maybe two to two and a half thousand.

Okay, that’s a big help. Thanks very much. You’re welcome, Peter. Thank you for your call. Bye. Alright, we’ve got, uh, we’ve got Lorraine on the line. Hello. Good morning, Lorraine. How can I help you? Hi. Well, actually that, uh, gentleman stole my thunder, I think. I’ve got it at, well, a little bit, a little bit. I think mine’s a little better.

Well, in saying that, it’s 2005, but it’s a Grande Camry Toyota, of course. Um, but someone did tell me that, don’t just sell it for a normal Toyota. It’s a, um, it’s a, I don’t know, particular one. It’s, um, a Melbourne. Commonwealth Dames. Oh really? One. Ah. Two. But that’s people on the, um, on the outside of the car.

Ah, OK. It would have been a limited edition which came with a few little, um, few little extras I would say. Yeah. Alright, so it’s a 2005 Camry Grande. That’s the previous shape to the 2007 model. The code for that one is CV 36. That’s my memory. cv. CV 36. That, that’s what you, is that Victor cv? Yes, that’s right.

And the, the 2007 was the CV 40. Alright. How many, how many kilometers is your one traveled? 188,000 180 8. Alright, that’s pretty reasonable kilometers. Uh, and is it a V six one or the full cylinder? Uh, B six. B six. All right, so the three liter, uh, and are you wanting to sell it privately? Are you Yes.

Alright. I think, uh, uh, it’s the top of the range, so it’s, and the kilometers are pretty reasonable for a 2005. Uh, I think if it’s in, if it’s in good condition, you should be asking around the five to 6,000 mark for it. Oh, that’s cool. I’ve been setting in, it’s in at the moment for um, registration, you know, roadworthy.

Yeah. So I’ve actually Oh, I understand. Yeah. Yeah, I think around, I’m not saying it will sell for that, but I think that’s what you should ask. In that five, because it sounds like it’s in good condition, so, and the kilometres are pretty good for a 2005, being nearly 19 years old. Alright? Okay, five to six.

That’s correct. Thank you so much Adam. You’re welcome Lorraine. Thank you. Bye bye. Bye. Yep. Bye Lorraine and we’ll go from Lorraine to Steffi. Good morning, Steffi. Good morning, Adam. How can I help you? I have a 2009 Toyota Kluger. I see, uh, it has, um, it’s a top of the range. One, A-K-A-K-S, something. It’s, uh, leather trim.

Alright, so it’ll be the k, the, the top of the range is the grande, but the one up, oh, sorry. Uh, it should be A KXS. Is that right? So, yeah, that’s it. H one KX s. Alright. Yeah. It ha, it it’s, um, black or black. It has black leather. Black leather. All right. Uh, and um, is it all wheel drive or the two wheel drive?

Um, all wheel drive. All wheel drive. All wheel drive V6. All right. The 3. 5 V6. And how many kilometres has it travelled, Steffi? Um, 230. 230. Yeah, but it’s been fully serviced. I’ve just put all new tyres on them. All right. Drives really lovely. All right. Have you had the car a long time? I’ve had it probably 12 years.

Oh, OK. All right. Yeah. Yeah. All right, uh, with 230 on it, uh, and you’re wanting a private sale figure as well as a trade figure? Yeah. All right. Um, no, just a private sale, Adam, because I’ve already bought a new LandCruiser. Oh, I see. All right. Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations. Nice car. Thank you. Yeah. I think, uh, because of the kilometers, I think, uh, to sell privately, I think around the 9, 000 mark would be the right price to ask.

Okay. All right. 9, 000. Yeah, that’s good. All right. Well, thank you, Stephanie. Thank you, Adam. I hope that information’s helped you. It does. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bye bye.

Adam, just a couple of weeks ago, I got a real shock when I had, uh, got a registration from, uh, A little scooter that I own that gets me around the coast. It went up 150 in one year on the registration and it was all due to the insurance component.

Compulsory third party. Compulsory third party, which a lot of us don’t think about it. Just automatically, whatever you’ve got. So it might be something for our listeners to just be aware of. You know, registration is expensive enough without the insurance industry. That’s a big change for a scooter in one year.

It’s a big jump, and imagine what it would be for a vehicle. Yes. There’s going to be a lot of scared people out there at the present time. Yeah. So we’ve got another caller. It’s good morning to Peter. Peter, go ahead. Good morning Peter. Good morning Adam. Good morning Adam. Uh, Lexus. ES300H, 2016, with the enhancement pack.

Alright, so is it a luxury, or sports luxury, or? It’s a luxury. Luxury, alright. With the enhancement pack. Enhancement pack. 58, 000 km, and it’s like new. Sounds like a very, very nice car. I’ve actually just been pricing a 2020 model yesterday. So, uh, I’ll just have, and it’s got similar kilometers to yours.

What, uh, what color is your one, Peter? It’s a, uh, Metallic grey, I’m not sure of the technical name. I know the colour. Alright. It’s a grey, uh, and it’s a luxury 58, 000. Alright. With the enhancement pack. Okay. Alright. Now, uh, would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure? Private sale figure.

Private. Alright. Uh, I think, uh, to sell privately, uh, you should be asking around the 35 to 36 for it. 35, 36. Excellent. That’s very good. I appreciate it. All right. Thanks Adam. Thank you, Peter. Uh, we’ve got a Noel on the line. Good morning, Noel. Yes. Good morning, Adam. Yeah, just a couple of quick ones. Um, I’m looking to downsize for a, an old, uh, Toyota Camry, uh, 2005 V6 probably sell privately.

It’s auto, air conditioning, everything’s working, cloth seat. Yeah, about 220. Just an idea of what I probably should be asking for that. Yeah, yeah, yep. That’s fair enough. The other question I’m asking and I’m looking around for the availability of I’m trying to put up my smaller car into my garage, and I’m looking for a, um, I’m looking at the two vehicles which will fit the garage, being a Hyundai i20 hatch, around about the 2018 model, as against the Kia Rio hatch, the 2020 model.

What would I expect it to pay for? Well the, well in 2018 there wasn’t a, an I 20, um, it became the, it became the, well the Hyundai Accent was the smallest car in, in the Hyundai, uh, so the, a Hyundai Accent, which is a similar size to the Rio, uh, In a 2018, with reasonably low kilometres, you’d buy one of those for around 15.

Uh, and the, if you’re looking at a Kia Rio in a 2020, um, probably around that, um, around that 17 mark, would, um, would buy a good one of those. Alright. Okay, what if I went up to the Hyundai, when did that, um, i20 come out? The I 20, um, finished in, in, uh, 2015. 2015? That’s right. I 20 did it? Yeah, that’s correct.

Alright. And then it went into what? The Accent? The Accent, correct. Okay. Alright. And for a 2020 model, and that would be what? Around? Uh, similar, similar price to what the Kia is. Similar price? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Alright. And that’s all I wanted to talk to you about. Availability of those, what number would I ring in?

Okay, so it’s 0404 0404 290 290 617 617 That’s it. Thank you Noel. Appreciate your call. Bye bye. Bye bye Noel. Okay. We’ve got Iris on the phone. Good morning Iris. Good morning. How can I help you Iris? Iris? Um, I’ve got a Toyota, uh, Corolla accent. Okay. 2011. 2011, and it’s done to, uh, 1 1 5 6,000 1 5 6 kilos.

All right. And it’s a hatchback. Is it? Yes. All right. Uh, 156, 000. Uh, private sale for that one would be around the, uh, seven to, uh, about the 7, 000 mark. Uh, and as a trade, uh, figure, it’d be a couple of thousand less than that. All right. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Iris. All right. We’ve got Sophia on the line.

Good morning, Sophia. Good morning. Ah, good morning, how are you? Very, very well, thank you. What have you got there? Now, what’s happened, I have, uh, Holden Cruz 2004, and only did 140. Okay. If I do a trade in, what do you think, how much? Alright, well the 140 is a trade in, uh, probably going to be around the two and a half to, around two and a half to three thousand.

That’s not fair, so what about, uh, Uh, private would probably be around, uh, four and a half to five. Yeah, that’s better. Okay. Now, could I inquire about that car, Mustang Ford, how much is that, you know? Our new Mustang, uh, is about 80, 000. Oh, no, no, you were advertising a Mustang, Mustang Ford, is that the one new?

You’re listening to 4CRB’s Interviews and Talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. And as the promo said, it’s a very good morning to Adam Hall from Hall Group Consultancy. Good morning to you. Good morning, Colin.

Well, we’ve uh, got a big program today. We’ve been through a great many things off air and I’m looking forward to some of your answers. But if you would like to talk to Adam this morning and have your car valued live on air for sale trade insurance purposes, or Centrelink purposes, we’d love to hear from you.

Don’t leave it to the end of the program. 0755208888 is the number for you to do that. And, uh, we’ve got our first caller already, Adam, do you want to dive into that? Let’s do that, we don’t want to keep Gary waiting. Alright, Gary, good morning to you, and ask your question of Adam.

Good morning, Gary. Yes, yes, good morning, this is a, uh, Centrelink graduation. Oh yes, what have you got, Gary? I’ve got an old Nashua MY18LS. And the mileage is 38, 800. 38, 800, and is it the hatchback or a sedan, Gary? Sedan. Sedan, alright. Uh, 2018, uh, automatic, I’m assuming? Yes, yes. Alright. It’s big, yes. Alright, for, for settling purposes, uh, I think you should be putting down the value at around 11.

That’s right. Okay. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Gary. Bye bye. Well, there you go. Gary is the early bird. He got the worm. You could do that too. 0755208888 is the number to have your car valued live on air. All right, Adam. We’ve got that market update that we didn’t get through last week.

We’ve only got a little way through that and, uh, Wayne would be upset if I didn’t finish it. So I might, uh, we talked about it being, uh, an all time record, uh, for March last month. So it was up. Uh, 2. 5 percent on the all time record of 2018. Wow. Uh, so I won’t dive too much into that, but, uh, we, we got as far down to the models.

So I’ll just go through the models, uh, the top five. Uh, so the Ford Ranger, uh, again, finished number one. They’re really dominating there now, and really, uh, pushing the Toyota HiLux back. Uh, I think they cheated, didn’t you say, Adam? They brought in a couple of containers worth just to get the numbers up.

Well, it’s, it’s, it seems to me that, uh, the market’s really spoken now because they’ve really had a consistent result all year. Yes. This year. So I think the renting the ship, um, was, helped them get over the line last year. Yeah. But, uh, they, they’ve, uh, maintained that spot going forward, uh, in number, uh, the second, uh, spot, uh, belonged to the RAV4.

They had a, a, a big influx of, um, prior orders. So people have been waiting 12 to 18 months to get these hybrid, uh, RAV fours. And a lot of those arrived last month. So there was 5,070 RAV fours delivered in the month. Wow. Which I think would be a record for the RAV4. Uh, then, uh, the, in third spot was the Tesla Model Y.

Yes. That’s why we see so many of those on the road. There was 4, 379 of those delivered. And then, right down in fourth spot was the Hilux, which has been number one for such a long time. Uh, there was 3, 995 of those sold. Uh, that’s, uh, uh, That’s a car that’s really getting to the end of its, uh, its life cycle as far as there’ll be a new one coming, uh, next year.

Yes. So, uh, it’s, it makes sense that they’re starting to drop away a little bit. Okay. Uh, and then, uh, in fifth spot was the Mitsubishi Outlander. Now the, the one that, uh, that Wayne loves is, uh, propulsion. So I want to go through propulsion . So what pushes these cars forward? Uh, and the petrol cars, uh, were 47,761.

Uh, that was down 4.9%. Uh, diesel was up 5.5% for 31,000. Uh, hybrid. Uh, 165. 9 percent up. So that’s that delivery of hybrid technology that really came through last month. Uh, electric vehicles was up, uh, 58%. There’s 10, 400 of those. And plug in hybrid had a reasonable month as well, 1, 412 of those, which is up 148%.

Uh, Now we’ll go down to, uh, countries where these cars were built. Uh, Japan, uh, number one again, they’re going, uh, very well. 33, 388 were delivered. Uh, Thailand in second spot with 24, 233. Uh, there was a, uh, between China and Korea, they were fairly close last year. They, uh, quite close. China only just overtook Korea I think about mid to, mid to late in the year but now there’s a pretty decent gap.

China is 17, 653 and Korea 13, 755 so there’s a fairly big gap between those now. And then Germany in fifth spot. Uh, 4, 813, which was, um, just up 4. 4%. Wow. They’re interesting figures, aren’t they? Yeah, they are. There’s a lot of, uh, big numbers there. But I think the, the thing to take out of that is a lot of people are asking me, uh, Should I buy a petrol car?

And the answer is there’s still a lot of people buying petrol. It’s still number one. It’s still going to be around for a fair amount of time yet. I still see the service stations being built all, all around the place. So it’s not something that’s going to go away anytime soon. Yeah, okay. And look, while our power prices are very high, I always worry about that, that equation.

It’s great when you, round about 10 years for battery life, it’s When we, when we start getting to that eight year mark, we’ll start to see how this is going to pan out. Is that how you see it, Adam? I do. Uh, and that’s, that’s one of the concerns that people are having about buying a second hand electric car and why it’s having impact.

And a big impact on the values of them is that there’s that concern there. What about if this battery goes, what’s it going to cost me to replace it? Will my car be worth anything if the, if the battery’s gone? So it’s a, it’s a challenging time. I think, uh, at, at some point. The, the cost of those batteries will come down, uh, the cost of the cars will come down as well, and it’ll level out a bit, but there’s so much uncertainty there right now, and that’s what’s having an effect on whether people want to buy them or not.

And we’ve seen the wonderful ad on television with helicopters and media personalities chasing the Toyota around town. Toyota, have an EV! They’ve, they’ve got one. They’ve, uh, dipped their toes in the, in the water. That’s the BZ 4X. Yes. So it really rolls off the tongue, that one, 4X. What have you got? I’ve got a BZ 4X.

So that’s, we’ve talked about this before, but that’s, um, a similar size to the, the RAV4. Uh, starts at about, uh, around 70, uh, about 75, 000 by the, that’s, uh, Doesn’t sound much when you say it fast, but it’s a lot of money. Uh, and then, uh, I think it tops out at about, uh, just over 80, 000 for the, for the top spec all drive model.

Um, but Toyota, uh, they’re, they’re not pushing too hard into fully electric. They’ve, they believe that hybrid is the near future. Yes. Uh, particularly for Australia. It’s the best of both worlds, isn’t it? It is, it is. And that’s why we’re seeing some enormous numbers with, with hybrid sales. Because, uh, there was a time there where it was, they weren’t being manufactured in the numbers.

Yes. That they needed to be, but that’s starting to really catch up now. And we’ve got another, a lot of other brands that are, are now releasing hybrid models as well. Sure. So, I think we’ll see more of those coming into the market. Alright, well this is a Talkback program, and normally we would have lots of phone calls by now, so you’re either listening intently, or you’re on holidays, or coming back from school holidays.

If you’d like to talk to Adam and have your car valued live on air, 0755 208888 is the number. He will Uh, value your car for trade, resale insurance, or Centrelink purposes. So there’s a lot of things you can ask him about there. And, uh, get a valuation live on air. Zero seven double 5 2 0 8 8. Double eight.

Okay. Cheapest car comparison. Adam. Oh, look, the, this is a story I read, uh, a few days ago and because we’ve, we’ve been talking about how much new cars have gone up. Recently, the last couple of years, uh, they, they have changed, you can’t buy, there’s only one new car under 20, 000 that you can buy now, uh, and I think prior to, uh, 2020 with, um, that COVID time, uh, you could buy, I think about 18 different models under 20, 000.

20, 000. So it just goes to show what’s um, what’s changing that a couple of years. But there’s been a comparison of the cheapest car 25 years ago. So back then, and I remember these, they, they, It was sold in enormous numbers. It was called the Daihatsu Sirion. Okay. It was a little four door hatchback. Uh, and it was 11, 990 on the road.

Uh, but it didn’t come with air conditioning. And it was a, it was a manual transmission. So you had to add the air conditioning. And I think if you added the air conditioning, it wouldn’t go very fast because it was a one litre engine. Wow. So a tiny little, uh, three cylinder engine. So if you compare that to today, uh, now you can buy, uh, a MG3, which is automatic, it comes with air conditioning, it’s got alloy wheels, and it’s got all sorts of tech features that wouldn’t have been available, uh, back then in the Syrian, let alone something that was probably 50, 000 back then, uh, and that’s 18, on the road.

Now when you do the um, the comparison with inflation, that original 11, 990 equates to about 23, 500 now. Yes. So if you, if you look at that in isolation, what we get value wise for a new car today is far better than what we did in 1999. Wow. That’s very interesting isn’t it? Mmm, it is. And aren’t I in there anywhere?

Well, Hyundai back then, uh, they had, uh, they’d just raised the price of their, remember the Hyundai XL? Yes. They were Thousands of them. There was thousands and thousands of them. I remember, uh, dealerships back then, they had to have a waiting room for people coming to order those cars. Really? So they had People would have to sit in the lounge and wait for a salesperson to be available to, to order a car.

So they were, they were a very popular car, but they didn’t have a lot of features in them, just a, a nice, uh, I guess a pretty good shape for back then. Uh, but again, didn’t have air conditioning standards, so you had to add that in. But a very popular car. I remember, uh, I remember someone characterizing it as the, uh, the Volkswagen of the 90s and 2000s.

That’s right. Like the Volkswagen. The Beetle. The people’s car. Yes. And boy, oh boy, didn’t they build a, uh, a wonderful car manufacturing company on the back of that. Certainly did. There you go. And nowadays, uh, the police are using them. Oh, well, uh, that’s the thing. It’s, uh, if you look at that, that brand, where they’ve come, that really, the Hyundai XL was.

Was it? Yes. They had the odd, uh, other car available. There wasn’t many others that sold. But, uh, what they’ve built now, they’ve got all sorts of different models in, in all sorts of different segments. Uh, and they’re always generally in the top five for, for sales and quality has improved incredibly.

Incredibly. Uh, And they’ve come with just about everything, don’t they? Alright, 0755208888 is the number if you’d like your car valued live on air with Adam and you can have that valued for sale, trade, or for insurance or Centrelink purposes. We’d love to hear from you, 55208888 is the number. Best selling EV.

Yeah, I thought we’d, um, we’d go through that today because, uh, a lot of people have, uh, I get a lot of calls from people asking me about, should I stay with petrol or should I go electric? But then when we get onto that electric question, which one should I buy? So I thought I’d go through, uh, the best selling ones at the moment, uh, and that is in all the numbers for 2024.

Uh, so Tesla’s still. Very much at the top and I think when you think electric car, the first thing that comes to mind is the Tesla. Yes. And now we’ve got all these other manufacturers that are coming through with other models. So the, the, the Tesla Y, uh, that’s the SUV version of the Tesla. Uh, so far this year they’ve sold 6, 835 of those.

Uh, so they’re selling in pretty strong numbers. Uh, second is the Model 3. Which is the, uh, the sedan type of vehicle. Uh, that’s, uh, 5, 954 of those have been sold. Should we, um, cut in and maybe take Alan’s call? He’s been waiting. We can come back. We’ve got Alan now on the phone. Good morning to you, Alan.

Good morning, Alan. G’day. How can I help you, Alan? So, I’ve got a 2014 Hyundai ix35 Ah, yes. It’s a petrol one is it? Petrol, yeah. Alright. Uh, is it just the base model? Is it the active model? Uh, it’s a base model. It’s a base model, alright. And it’s 2 wheel drive as well? Yeah, it’s um, 2 wheel drive, petrol, white, Has it got many kilometres on it, Alan?

95, 95, 000. 95, alright. Um, and it’s automatic as well? Auto, yep. Alright. It will drive auto. And how would you rate the condition? Is it pretty well looked after? Uh, Yeah, it’s very well. There’s no scratches. It’s always been garaged. Um, the leather is good. Everything’s serviced. It’s, yeah. It’s, um, one of the better ones I see for sure.

Okay. Given that it’s, um, got leather trim, Alan, is it possible that it could be the SE model? SE, yeah. Okay, SE. Alright. Alright. So 95, 000. Now, would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade? Yeah. Um, yeah, I suppose. Thank you. All right. Uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 13 to 14 mark for it.

Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about two and a half thousand less than that. Right. Okay. Yeah. All right. No, that’s wonderful. Thank you for your call. All right. Thank you, Alan.

We’ll move now to Terry. Good morning to you, Terry. Good morning, Terry. Hello. Good morning, Adam. Um, yeah, it’s just an inquiry about, I’ve got a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT, uh, 2 litre, uh, dual cab and, um, just inquiring about, uh, insurance purposes.

Okay. Insurance, how much it would be, yeah, do you think it would be worth to insure? Alright, so it’s an XLT, uh, automatic, uh, and it’s a 4×4. Yes. Four by four. And how many kilometers does it travel, Terry? Uh, it’s travel 66,840 kilometers 66. Eight 40. All right. Uh, yep. And just for insurance purposes, is that right?

Uh, that’s correct, yes. Okay. Have you got any accessories on it, like ball bars or tow bars? Um, oh, it’s got a towbar standard, but. Yeah, I’ve got a canopy, and I’ve got roof racks on top of the canopy, um, and I’ve got um, um, You know, towing mirrors, the um, the big ones. Oh yeah, the big ones. Yep. Yep. Okay. Yep.

And um, that, that’s about it really. Only, only just the, the headlight covers. Okay. The usual thing for protection. Alright. No problem. Alright. I think, uh, I think for insurance purposes, uh, you should have the, uh, value at around that 42 to 43. Okay. Alright. 43. Yes, no problem at all. Okay. Okay. Thank you Terry.

I appreciate that. You’re welcome. Thank you. Appreciate your call. Bye bye. All right, we’ve got a little late flutter. So double five two zero double eight double eight is the number We’ve only got a few minutes left in the program So you’re going to have to be quick if you’d like your car valued live on air We were in the middle of, did we finish best selling EV?

We did. Okay. Electric car value. Yeah, I thought we might touch on this. We did a little bit before, but, um, I read a story about, there’s been a study about the resale value of electric cars and how they’re going in comparison to, um, combustion engine cars. And. I don’t want to, I don’t want to say this because I don’t want to put people off them.

Sure. But it’s just what’s happening right now because of this uncertainty over how long is the battery going to last, um, all those different things that people are really concerned about. But right now, uh, the electric cars in the two to four year range are losing three times more value than a traditional combustion vehicle.

Gotcha. Engine. That’s very interesting, isn’t it? It is. So they’re selling very well, uh, in the new car space, but once they get back out in the second hand market, uh, it’s a lot more challenging. And are they more expensive to insure? They are, at this point. And that just comes down to cost of repair is a lot.

A lot more costly to repair. Well, everything’s shoehorned in. That’s right. Had a look at a exploded view of a Tesla and went, wow, the batteries are all under your feet and Yes. And uh, how do you fix it? If you, even in an accident, you’re sitting there going, how do they repair that? Mm mm-Hmm. . So, but anyway, it’s interesting.

But, uh, I guess over time they’ll will learn and, and get better at this. And the, the. Value will be there at some point. It’s just that the early adopters of this technology Yes. are certainly paying for it. Yes. Uh, the, uh, days to sell on market is another, uh, factor as well. Uh, the average time to sell a, a two year old, uh, electric car is 75 days.

And that’s compared with 52 days for a regular car. Wow. So it’s actually taking more time to sell as well, as well as dropping more in value. Yes. Alright. Well, we’ve certainly, uh, gone through, uh, a lot of information here today. We didn’t get as many calls. That could be due to, uh, their proximity of school holidays and people returning and then you’ve got the New South Wales people arriving and grandparents.

Everybody’s gone pretty easy on me today. They have, haven’t they? I’ll have to, uh, save up for next week. Alright, Adam, thank you very much for your company again this morning. Thank you. We look forward to seeing you again next week. See you then. What’s Your Car Worth has been sponsored by Adam Hall of Hall Group Consultancy.

You’re listening to 4CRB’s interviews and talkback series. What’s your car worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new easy way to sell your car. Yes, it is the new easy way to sell your car, and we missed him last week. I had withdrawals, and I bet you did too, but he’s back with me at the in the studio, playing with his microphone over there.

And he’s left his favourite book at home and he’s had a rough start to the day this morning. I certainly have, I’m very rusty. Anyhow, I’ve given him a nice glass of water and he’s nice and relaxed. And I speak of none other than Adam Hall. Welcome back, Adam. Good morning, Wayne. Thank you for having me back.

I expect we should have a big show this morning. You have. A hundred calls, remember? We will probably do a hundred calls this morning. So if you have a question on selling your car in terms of the value of your car, now’s the time to ring Adam Hall on 5520 8888. And hence the name of the program, Adam Hall.

What’s your car worth? And if you’re wanting to do a trade in or a private sale, um, if you want to, uh, downsize the big beast in the garage, find out what, how much money is sitting in the garage and you’re not using it enough, why don’t you give Adam a call right now on 55208888. And of course, the old Centrelink and, oh gee, I even, it makes me angry even to say the word insurance.

I’m finding the insurance bug. is creeping into us, you know, into my lifestyle as well at the moment. With everything, the ripple effect of insurance and if you haven’t registered your car for a while, registration is going through the roof because of the Uh, insurance covey, which you automatically have to do.

Compulsory third party, that’s right. It’s a huge shock. And, uh, gee, it’s a big story and I think, uh, we, we better not talk too much about it now. But, uh, uh, it is a problem. And we just alert you to the fact. Get ready for a huge increase in your, uh, registration costs. So, if you’d like to join us this morning, which we hope you will, 5520 888 is the number to do that and talk to the best in the business.

Thank you. Adam Hall. Okay, our favorite run, market update, and my favorite category, Propulsion again. Oh! They’re still doing it? I might go last with Propulsion this time, we didn’t get to get through all the market update by the time we did Propulsion. Okay. So this is a March report, so it’s just come out over the last couple of days.

Yes. It’s an all time record for sales in Australia for March. New cars? New cars, that’s right. 109, 647 for the month. It’s a huge result for, for us. for that time of the year. It’s up 12. 7 percent on last year and 2. 5 percent on the all time record which was set in March 2018. Now, so there’s room to move at all dealerships.

So negotiate your price. That’s right. But the thing is, is that, uh, Oh, here it comes. This has been a, this really has been a big catch up in, in quarters. Uh, and I’ll, I’ll, talk about the areas where that’s really caught up as well. So you’re right. It is now time to, to start asking for a bit of a discount.

Um, you’ll find that there’ll be a lot of cars that are available in dealerships now that you can take delivery of fairly quickly rather than waiting six, 12 or sometimes up to two years for a car. Uh, I’ve noticed that there’s dealerships out there advertising some pretty, what would have been very rare stock, um, that you can take delivery of right now.

So, it’s really starting to, to uh, turn into a buyer’s market. Hey, it’s about time. That’s right. That’s nice. Okay, we’ve got a couple of callers here, Adam, and it’s good morning to Val. Val, what car have you got for evaluation? Good morning, Val. Hi, good morning. Um, look, I want something for, um, Centrelink purposes.

Certainly. How can I help? Um, I, I have a 2012 Hyundai and it’s got 159, 000 on it. Plus, uh, it’s a hatchback. Um, I think that’s about all I need to say. Is it an i20? Um, Yes it is. Alright, so it’s the I 20 now. Is it a four door or the, or the, or the two door with a hatch. Oh. So, yep. It’s two door though. Two door.

And it’s automatic. Yes, please. Yep. All right. Okay. I think, uh, for cent purposes, uh, I think, uh, a fair price would be 3000. Beautiful, well that’s great because that’s far more than they wanted to give it to me for. Yeah, okay. Alright, well Val. Okay, thanks so much. You’re welcome. Have a great day. Same to you.

Thank you. Bye bye. Bye. Alright, we’ve got Janice on the line. Good morning Janice. Good morning. Hang on while I check my name again. Um, hang on. You alright there, Janet? Right, yes, I just want to take off my own speaker, sorry. Ah, that’s okay. How can I help you, Janet? I’ve got a, um, a wagon, seven seats.

Colorado, is it? The last one, yes. Alright. The last one made. I don’t make them anymore. So it’s about They’re a trailblazer now. That’s right. So what, um, what year model is it? About a 2016? 2015. 2015, okay. Yep. Ah, and it’s just the, uh Base model is it? LT LT, alright, and how many kilometres has it travelled?

88, 000, that’s it. 88, alright, the kilometres are pretty good. Um, has it got any extras on it like bull bars or anything like that? Oh, it’s got the bonnet protector and things, um, no it hasn’t got a bull bar on it, just a bonnet protector, seat covers. Alright. Dash Max and things like that ever since it’s been brand new.

Alright, now would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure? Yes, and it’s got all the log books, the service log books too. Alright, uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 23, 000 to 24, 000 for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in it’s going to be about 3, 000 to 4, 000 less than that, so around the 20 mark.

Oh, that’s a bit disappointing, isn’t it? Yeah, they’ve come back a bit in price, these. A lot of that Holden product has, because they’re no longer in Australia. But, yeah, that’s about what it’s worth. Okay. Alright. Thanks for your help. You’re welcome. Thank you, Janet. Bye. Alright, we’ve got Alan on the line.

Good morning, Alan. Yeah, good morning, Adam. How can I help you, Alan? Okay, look, I’ve got a 2010 KE XLS and it’s gray color with 171,000 kilometers 1 71. Okay. Uh, now is it, so it’s the XLS? Uh, yeah. And is it automatic? Automatic, yes. Automatic. And the color? It’s gray. Gray. Alright. Uh. I haven’t seen a lot of these.

There’s not a lot of them about. Sorry Adam, what is the car again? The Suzuki Kazashi. Ah, Suzuki. So it’s a sedan, like a medium sized sedan in Suzuki. Okay. Somewhere sort of between the Corolla, probably a little bit bigger than the Corolla. Okay, gotcha. It sounds like a motorbike really. It does, yeah. I was getting vroom vroom.

Yeah. Now, would you like a private sale as well as a trade value? Uh, yes please, Ant. Alright. I think, um, it’s a bit of a rough idea because I haven’t seen a lot of them around, but, um, being, so it’s 14 years old, 171, I think as a private sale you’re probably expecting around that five to six mark, uh, and to trade it in it’s going to be about two to two and a half less than that.

Right, I’ll come in. Alright, thank you Alan. I appreciate your call. Bye bye. Alright, we’ve got Glenn on the line. Good morning, Glenn. Morning, Adam. How can I help you, Glenn? Um, I’ve got a Kia Cerato Sport, um, 2017, um, with, um, 25, 000 k’s on the clock, fully serviced. Twenty five, alright. Ah, gee, it’s got low kilometres and it’s a sedan or a hatchback, Glenn?

Mm hmm. It is hatchback. Hatchback. Uh, now is it the, does it have, uh, leather trim? Is it the sport plus or, um, no. No, it’s not leather. No leather. Okay. No, it’s not leather trim. No. All right, and, and what color is it, Clint? It’s, um, like a metallic gun. Metal gun. Metal. All right. Sounds like a nice color. And would you like a, a private sale figure as well as a trade figure on that one?

Yeah, both please. Alright. Um, being a, so 2017, I think is a, a private sale for that one. Uh, you should be expecting around the, the 17,000 mark for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s gonna be about two to 3000 less than that. Okay. All right. Okay. Thanks a lot, Adam. You’re welcome, Glenn. Thank you for your call.

Yes, thank you for your call, Glenn. And all our lines are free, so if you want to get right on to Adam Hall now, you can call and get directly on to Adam by calling 5520 8888, and it’s good morning to Ross. Good morning, Ross. Good morning, Adam. How are you today? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Um, Adam, I’ve got a 2011 Mazda 3.

Um, it’s got Max DL. It’s just a Dand. It’s, um, got 53, 000 kilometers on it. Um, got all its log books. Okay, and it’s automatic? Automatic, yep. Automatic. It’s, um, yep, very, very clean. Clark car, well, very well looked after. Um, and it’s like that metallic, you know, that pearl white colour. Oh, I know the colour.

Yeah, nice colour, that one. Very nice. Alright, and have you had the car from new, have you? No, no. No. I, um, I got it four and a half years ago. I see. Alright. Now, would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure? Um, yes, that’d be very good. Thanks. Certainly. Alright. Um, the kilometres are, uh, a lot lower than the average, so it would be Yes, they are.

Yes. They had very low kilometres on the first flight. So it has a, um, that has a good impact on, on the value. Uh, I think, uh, as a pilot, It’s a private sale for that one, but it is 13 years old, so you’ve got to take that into account. I think it’s a private sale for that one. You should be expecting around the 10 or 9 mark for it.

Uh, and, and trade value would be about two to two and a half less than that. Okay, there we go. Thank you very, very much for that, Adam. You’re very welcome. I appreciate your call. And you have a lovely day. Same to you. Bye bye. Take care. Bye bye. Thank you. What a nice lady. And when, when, uh, I don’t know whether it was Roz, Roz or Ross or something, yeah, we didn’t get the right name there, but, uh, when she said it’s very clean, she wasn’t talking about the cleanliness of the car.

She was talking that it hasn’t had any damage. Bumps or dents put in it. That’s right. The Aussie terminology with our cars. That’s right. It’s nice and clean. All right, it’s good morning to Brian. Good morning, Brian. Good morning, Adam. Adam, uh, for Centrelink, I’ve got a 2019 Cerato Sport hatchback white Borto, uh, only 18, 000 k’s.

Cerato Sport and a hatch and it’s got 18, 000. Okay, uh, Uh Okay. And what color is it? Brian? White. White. Good color? Yep. Uh, okay. For cent purposes, uh, I think you should be putting, uh, the value at around 19. Oh, okay. Alright. And just one more question, Adam. Uh, depre depreciation of cars on average, would, would it be safe to say they devalue, uh, devalue between one and $2,000 a year, or, I know it varies, but, um, yeah, it’s as a general figure.

It’s, I wouldn’t say that, um, it’s really as a percentage of, of the car. Um, the government allows you to, let’s say you have a business or something like that. Generally around 15 percent is what you can depreciate a car by, um, without, uh, any unwanted attention. Uh, so that’s generally about it, but it’s just been the last few years, it’s really been all over the place.

So it’s a really hard one. So you’ve got to, it’s, it’s a really a case by case sort of basis and depending on supply as well. Uh, but, but generally in the market. You probably lose around 10 percent a year. That’s 10 percent on this case. It’d be close to 2000. How does Centrelink, uh, evaluate or assist the value of the car?

Well, they just, uh, obviously they rely on your, your honesty about value, but they would look, they would look at, um, depreciation as the, as the ATO does as well, um, that by being able to reduce by 15 percent a year is a fair, is a fair number. So all right. That’s good. All right. Bye bye. Goodbye. All right.

We’ve got, uh, Daniel on the line. Good morning, Daniel. Good morning, Adam. How you going? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Adam, I’ve got a, uh, 2013 Lexus CT200H F Sport. Alright, the F Sport, uh And it’s, um, 69, 000 kilometres. Phew, gee, very low kilometres. Yep. Alright. The colour is, the colour is Epsom blue.

The blue, alright. Excellent. And it’s a five door hatch.

These were one of the, uh, one of the earlier hybrids. Very, um, very popular car at the, at the time. That’s for sure. And have you had the car for new? Have you, Daniel? I’ve had it since, I’ve had it since new, yes. All the services. And it looks like it’s just come off the showroom floor. Very nice, very nice.

Now, would you like a private sub value as well as a trade? If you could, please. Alright. Uh, I think, uh, if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 18 mark for it. Uh, uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about 2, 000 to 2, 500 less than that. Adam, can you tell me why, why is that when you trade it in?

Is that because of their markup? Correct. Yeah, they need a margin to be able to resell the car. Um, the other thing about dealerships is that, that they have to provide a warranty as well. So if you, if they resell the car, if something goes wrong with it in a reasonable period, well, they have to, they have to repair it for, but when you sell a car privately, you don’t have to do that.

Right, okay then, no, no problem. Alright. That’s good, yeah. I was looking, I was probably looking a little bit more, you know, because of the low kilometres and excellent condition, you know, full service, you know. I understand, I do understand where you’re coming from, the kilometres are very low, it’s just once they get to that sort of 10 to 11 year age bracket, it’s, it’s hard to convince people to spend much more money than that.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. Alright then. Okay. Thanks very much. Thank you, Daniel. Bye bye. Okay, cheers. Yeah, thank you for your call, Daniel. And, uh, we’re getting, uh, yep, we’ve got lots of lines free. You can get on to Adam straight away by calling 5520 8888. We might take Kevin’s call now, and, uh, Adam? Good morning, Kevin.

Hey, how you going? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Awesome. Um, I have a 2007 Holden SVZ. SVZ, uh, Commodore. Alright. And it’s a sedan or a wagon? Uh, it’s just a ute. Oh, it’s a ute, okay. SVZ Ute. Uh, and how many kilometres has it travelled? Uh, it’s got about 263, 000 on it. 263, all right. Um, and what colour is it, Kevin?

That’s blue. Blue, okay. I think it was called, from memory it was called Impulse Blue or something back then. It was a pretty popular color. Are you sure? That’s a guess. I’m pretty sure it’s right. It’s a nice deep blue. Pardon me? It’s not a deep blue. Oh, it’s a nice deep blue. It’s a nice deep blue. Yeah, that’s, that’s the color.

That’s the color. He’s right. He’s always right. Now, uh, how’s the condition, Kevin? Is it reasonably Um, it’s pretty well maintained. Okay. Hmm. All right. Uh. I’ve had a dash mat, I’ve had steering wheel covers, seat covers. There’s a slight tear in the bottom driver’s side seat. Okay. With the lead off. Yeah. But it’s, it’s very small.

Probably that’s why you come. Okay. Alright. Uh, for a private sale, I think, uh, the, the 265, 000 has an impact, but I think somewhere between that 5, 000 to 6, 000 range, if it’s in reasonable condition, is, is what you should be asking. Okay. Nice. Alright. Thank you, Kevin. I appreciate your call. Bye bye. Alright.

We’ve got, uh, Bruce on the line. Good morning, Bruce. Morning, Adam. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? I’ve got a BMW X3. September 2019. With 29, 500 clicks. Uh, it’s the petrol two liter with the M Sport enhancement pack. I think at the time new was about two and a half gram. Would that makes a difference?

Not sure. Yeah. Okay. Alright. So, and it white, white and white in color? Absolutely. Still light new. The backseat never been set in apart from the puppy dog on the backseat. , uh, has it got the, uh, the panoramic sunroof. No. No sunroof? Okay. Um, sounds like a, sounds like a very nice car. And it, and it’s just the, it’s just the petrol isn’t it?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Uh, now would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure? Yes, please. All right. Uh, I think if you were to sell privately, uh, you should be asking, uh, in the late 40s for it. Uh, so around that sort of 49 sort of mark, uh, and, and as a trade value, it’s going to be about 5, 000 less than that.

Okay. Okay. No worries. Okay. Alright. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you for your call, Bruce. Bye bye. Yes, thank you for your call, Bruce.

Adam can cover it all for you, so any questions, why don’t you call us right now on 5520 8888. Okay, Adam, let’s get back to, uh, I’ve got to wait for my propulsion. So we’ll go through the, uh, the brands on that record month. Yeah, big month, big month. Uh, Toyota, uh, obviously they finished number one again, but the, the big story for them was they were up 43.

4%. So they’ve, they’re really playing catch up on those outstanding orders that they’ve had. Uh, Ford, for the second month in a row, has come in at, um, second, second place. So they’re going very well. Uh, Mazda is normally in second, is now in third. They seem to be falling away a little. Uh, Mitsubishi was fourth.

Uh, Kia in fifth, uh, Tesla finished, uh, in sixth spot, so that’s a very big result for them. Uh, they were up 68 percent for the month, the corresponding month last year. In terms of, in terms of numbers, have you got the number there, the actual number? Uh, so 6, 017 of those were sold. 6, 000. Okay. So no wonder we see a lot of those on the road now.

Yes, that’s true. And compared to the number one position, selling what? Uh, 18, 000. 18, 000. So it’s still a long way to go. Yes. Uh, Hyundai was 7th. Uh, Nissan were in the top 10 again. Uh, they’re going quite well. Uh, the Isuzu, uh, Ute in 9th and then MG rounded out the top 10. They’ve, uh, they’ve fallen away a little bit.

They’ve dropped 1. 4 percent for the month. So, um, it seems a lot of other brands are having impact on them. Now let’s go to, um, let’s go to propulsion. Your favorite, favorite segment. The, uh, petrol, uh, there was 47, 761, uh, petrol sold. Good. That was a drop of, drop of 4. 9%. Right. So it’s a, it’s a. A modest, um, a modest yes.

Uh, diesel, uh, was 31 7 3 1. Uh, that was up 5.5%. Mm-Hmm. Uh, hybrid. This is the, this is the big story. Uh, 13,935 hybrids. Uh, they were up 165.9%. Gee, that’s a big thing. And that is, and this, this tells the story of what’s been going on with Toyota there. Yes. They’ve really, um, caught up with their RAV4 orders and that’s had a big impact on hybrid sales.

Big impact on hybrid sales, yes. And then electric was up 38%, but nowhere near what hybrid is. Yes. And plug in hybrids also had a pretty good month as well. Well, it’s telling a story of what the future could be like. Certainly is. And hybrids are well and truly up there. Absolutely. Okay, well it’s good morning to Peter.

Peter, what’s your vehicle for evaluation? Good morning, Peter. Uh, good morning guys. How are you going? Well, thank you. I have a, um, 2005 silver Toyota Kluge Grande. A Kluge Grande. With the, uh, The powered, uh, sunroof. I see. All right. Wood trim and everything. Okay. Uh, has it got a lot of kilometers on it, Peter?

Uh, yes. 250. Two 50. All right. 250. Uh, and how’s the condition? Is it reasonably well looked after? Oh yeah, it’s been looked after. It’s got a couple of little things. Um. Nothing, nothing major. It couldn’t be popped out, so to speak. That’s to be expected with something that’s nearly 20 years old and done a quarter of a million kilometres.

All right. Yeah. Um, and would you like a private tail value? Is that what you’re looking to do? Yeah, yeah, I would please. Uh, I think, uh, to sell privately, uh, somewhere around that 5 to maybe 6, 000 if it’s in really good condition. Yeah. Oh, it goes well. It doesn’t blow any smoke, but. Yeah. Yeah. It’s great.

Yeah. All right. Yeah. All right. I hope that information’s helped you. Thank you, Peter. It does. Enjoy the rest of your day. Thank you. Bye for now. Bye bye. Okay. Thank you, Peter.

And it is the new ye easy way to sell your car, but for now, this is What’s Your Car Worth, our very popular program here at 89.

3. And the man that makes it popular is with me in the studio at the present time. Good morning, Adam Moore. Good morning, Wayne. Thanks for having me back. Terrific to have you back again, Adam. If you’re just joining us for the first time, Adam has many years in the motor car industry and his claim to fame is that, uh, he’s got a photographic memory.

He doesn’t have a computer and he doesn’t have a red, blue, or green book in front of him. He’s just got his moldy old diary. You don’t like this notebook, do you? Oh, it’s a magnificent notebook. It’s got a lot in it. And he records every car that he, uh, does evaluation on. And he’s got a very, very high success rate, and he can help you right now, because trying to sell a car these days in an industry which is continuing to go up and down and all over the place, it can be a high risk, simply from the fact that if you put the wrong price on, you could sit there for months.

And I’ve been talking to a lot of people. It’s probably one of the Most common calls that I’m receiving, people asking me, why hasn’t my car sold? I, the last one I sold two or three years ago was really easy, but this one was, this one’s, um, really sticking and, uh, and that’s, uh, it’s, it’s a very tricky market out there now and you really need to cross things.

A good prescription, tricky market. And I know we seem to have, over the last three or four weeks, we seem to start our program talking about fluctuations in the market and the importance, but it’s a, it’s a factor that we need to get out there because, um, you know, People are just, uh, you’re on your own when you’re selling your car and you may, uh, for lots of reasons, because we are emotionally attached to our motor cars and you try and factor that emotion into the selling price, doesn’t work.

You’ve got to come right back to square one. That’s right. Yes. Okay. So if you’re looking for, uh, a, a valuation on your motor car, Adam Hall is the man to call on 55208888. And if you’re looking for, you know, valuation or trade in, or you’re going to sell it privately, he’ll give you the right price for you.

And then you can go away and consider that. And if you want a revaluation for insurance purposes or Centrelink, we can do that, or Adam can do that for you. And gee, if you’re brave enough to go to an auction, you. And you’ve got an idea of the car, you better get the price, the starting price from Adam as well this morning.

And, the third one is, you’ve got a big beast in the garage, and it’s been sitting there for some time, time to downgrade. Just um, what you were talking about with auctions there, I just thought of a subject that was probably pretty important, and I don’t want to mention the name of the auction house that was fined recently, but, and this is why it’s important to be very careful.

Buying a car from an auction. Uh, there was a, a fairly big, uh, auction company that was recently fined heavily. I think about, I think it’s about $10 million that have been fined. Wow. Uh, for mis describing, uh, their auction lots. And this, this is all down to cars. So, um, mis describing the, even the. the finer details of what year it was, and what, when it was built or when the compliance plate was and then down to the, uh, the description of the condition of the car.

There were so many that people purchased and then ended up with these cars that um, Virtually couldn’t be put on the road. Jeremy, I guess it’s like anything too, uh, in a market where it is fluctuating to the extremes that we’re seeing. You can see, uh, the, um, the scammer trying to get in and make a quick dollar.

That’s right. We’ve got our first caller. Good morning, Margaret. Margaret, go ahead. Good morning, Margaret. Good morning. Um, I have a 2016 Hyundai i30 Active, five door hatchback. Okay, automatic Silver And it’s done 41, 000 kilometres. 41, alright. So 2016, uh, in silver and colour and it’s automatic. Uh, and how’s the condition Margaret?

Is it pretty well looked after? Excellent, yes. Excellent condition. Very good condition. Alright. Now would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure? Yes, please. All right. Uh, I think if you were to sell, um, privately for that one now, you should be expecting around the, uh, 13 mark for it, uh, maybe 13 and a half.

Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about two to two and a half thousand less than that. Okay. Thank you very much for your help. You’re very welcome. Thank you for your call. Bye bye. All right. We’ve got John on the line. Good morning, John. Morning. How can I help you, John? Um, I’ve got a Hyundai i30 2014, uh, 87, 000 kilometers on the clock.

It’s been serviced regularly, it’s in good condition, apart from It’s got four dents, not major dents, through shopping trolleys. Oh, gee. We’ve got to get that petition going about these shopping trolleys. Oh, it’s such a common place where cars get damaged, that’s for sure. And what colour is your car, John?

It’s like a, a silver grey. Silver grey. Gee, the last one was silver as well. Uh. Yeah. Alright. So 87, 000. Uh. Alright. And would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade? Yes please. Alright. I think as a private sale you should be expecting around the 11, 000 mark for it. Uh. Okay. And if you were to trade it in it’ll be about 2 to 2.

5 less than that. Right. Thank you very much. You’re very welcome. Thank you for your call John. Thank you. Cheers have a good day. Same to you. All right we’ve got Marilyn on the line. Good morning Marilyn. Good morning Marilyn. Hello. Hello, how can I help you? Um, we’re looking to trade in our MGSF.

It’s a electric vehicle. Oh, it’s a S suv. So it’s the, it’s the Zs, uh, Zs, uh, electric Z. Is it? Okay? Yes. All right. Uh, and has it traveled many kilometers. 17,017. All right. And, uh, what year model is it? Um, we bought it 19, 5, 23, last year. Oh. 19th of May, last year. 23, alright. And you’re looking at trading on a new one, or you’re buying something different?

Yeah, um, no, I love this car, it’s a great little car. Hmm, alright. But, I just, we were just wanting a bigger one, because it’s only got, uh, I think 330, 000. Okay, yeah I understand, yeah. Alright, so when you bought that one new, was that around, around 42, 000? Um, I think we paid, 44. Yeah. Okay. Alright. So the, uh, they have come back a little bit in price because, um, MG have had a fair amount of, no, we paid 48.

48. Okay. So that would’ve been at the top end. So they have, they have put big bonuses on these now. Um, so they’re selling in the. the low 40s for a brand new one, uh, so I think as a, a, a trading figure, uh, you’re going to be looking at, uh, probably in the early to mid 30s, so around that 30 to 32 to 34. All right.

Okay. All right. I’m sorry. I haven’t got that. If I wanted to. If you wanted to sell it properly. If I wanted to sell it properly. Yeah, probably about two to three thousand more than that. That’s um, because you want to be a fair discount off what a new one is. Yeah. Alright. Okay. Thank you Marilyn. Thank you.

Appreciate your call. Alright. Bye. for your call Marilyn. And, uh, that’s the first one we’ve had, um, since EVs entered the, uh, the marketplace. It has. But that’s a, that’s a good example of, because it’s, it’s such a, particularly with electric cars, it’s a very volatile market because if the manufacturers can’t clear these cars, they are putting, you Bonus is on and that impacts the resale.

That impacts the resale. We might come back to that discussion after we talk to Peter. Peter, good morning. Go ahead. Good morning, Peter. Oh, I’m on the line, eh? Yes, you are. How can I help you? No pressure on you at all. I’ve got a, uh, when I’ll catch your intent. It’s a 22 model. But I bought it last week and it’s only got 300km on the clock.

Oh really? Alright. And you don’t like the car, Peter? No, that’s not the problem. I’ve got a problem with my partner. Hard to get into this car. It’s got no grab handles. It’s got everything else you can think of Except for grab handles and she needs that because she’s got a bad back. I understand. All right So I just wonder what what would it be worth if I sold it privately or as I tried it as well I suppose.

Can I ask you how much did you pay for it new? I paid 37. 6. 37. 6. Okay. It was a it’s a demo board as a demo have 60 k’s on the clock Hmm And, uh, I know they were selling them for about 43, 000. Yeah. Brand new. Yeah. They’re actually It was registered. They’re actually a very nice car. They’re very nice to drive.

It’s a beautiful, it’s a beautiful car. Yeah. Mmm. Mmm. Absolutely. But, she just Yeah, she’s got so much hassle getting into and out of it. We should have looked at it a bit closely at that problem, but unfortunately we didn’t. Oh, sorry to hear that. The first thing you need to consider is that, um, so when you drive, uh, car or demonstrator out, the first thing that’s paid is your GST and government stamp duty and those things aren’t recoverable.

Uh, so you’re probably looking at about a 5, 000 um, hit just right there. Um, and then you’ve got to try and offer a bit of a concession to the, So, I would suggest probably asking in the early 30’s for it, so around that 32 to 33, as a private. But I think, if you say took it back to the Renault dealership, they’re probably going to be around 30.

Yeah. Because there’s so much money’s been paid to the government already. Yeah, I will, I’ll lose some money on it. Yeah. Would you be interested in buying it? I’m happy to talk to you, so, uh, With you? Okay. Yeah, I’m happy to talk to you, I’ll see what I can do to help. Um, do you have my number? I’ve got your, uh, Alright.

Hang on, I’ve got it to you somewhere, I think. Is it, uh, 0404290617? That’s correct, yeah. Okay. Okay. Alright, I’ll give you a call later on. Alright, thank you Peter. Okay, thanks Adam. Bye bye. Bye. Alright, we’ve got Warwick on the line. Good morning Warwick. You there Warwick? Yes, yeah. How can I help you Warwick?

I’m just looking at a Holden Commodore sports wagon, a 2009 international edition with a leather trim. 93, 000 kilometres, a very clean, nice car to look at. That’s good. And a good service history, it’s just had the timing chain repair done to it. That’s a pretty common problem with us. Yeah, yeah, I’m aware of that.

I drive, I’ve got to drive a Commodore myself at the moment. Yeah. And they want 12, 000 prepared to discount the government standard for duty, that’s all. And he said, or you sell the car if he hangs on to it. Is that a fair price or is it a little bit, a little bit too over the market? In my opinion, it’s a little bit high.

I think, um, the fact that it’s 50, it’s got very low kilometers for the age, so that certainly helps it, but I think you should be trying to push at least another thousand dollars off. Yeah, I, yeah, I thought a realistic price would be 9, 500 but people aren’t going to drop that in the market because they can sell these cars, that would be true, wouldn’t it?

Well, it’s, it’s getting a lot tougher to sell used cars now, so don’t be, um, too concerned about that. See, in my opinion, it’s probably because the kilometres are so low, maybe about a 10, 000, maybe 500, um, but then you’ve got to, um, obviously the stamp duty is something that has to be paid anyway. Yeah, but I wouldn’t be going too much higher than that.

Yeah, no, I’m just, I’m just worried because I’ve already got a Commodore and it’s, it was a newer car, so it’d be fair enough, but it’s, and uh, I thought, I thought myself, I said to him, what would happen if I walk in with a bank check for ten and a half thousand and he said he’d wait a while, he reckons he’ll sell it.

That was his answer. Yeah, okay. Yeah. I think, and the market’s coming down as you said, I listen to you regularly. Thank you very much for your time. You’re welcome, Mark. Okay. Thank you. Thanks, bye. Yes, thank you for that call Warwick. Okay, it’s coming up to 20 minutes past 10 here at your station 89. 3 You’re listening to What’s Your Car Worth?

Nice easy number for you to get an on the money valuation on your motor car. And you can call right now with all our lines being free. Okay, Adam, um. We better get into this market update.

We better get into, and we’ve already, we did propulsion last week. We did. We started with the last one we normally, uh, start with. Uh, so I wanted to go through, um, February sales. pretty incredible result. And this is still a catch up of all these cars that couldn’t be delivered, couldn’t be delivered. Uh, so 105, 000, um, and 23 new car sales for February.

It was up 20. 9 percent on the same time, uh, last year. And it’s an all time record by eight and a half thousand cars. So it’s a very strong result, but inflated. Inflated, yes, but this is something else that’s having an impact on used car values because so many people are now collecting their new car, so there’s, the tradings are coming through and there’s so many more cars out there for sale.

Yes. Hence the need to, hence the need for someone selling their car to be right on the money. That’s right. Okay. Good morning to Bob. Bob, go ahead. Good morning, Bob. Morning, Adam. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Mate, I’m looking at buying a, uh, a Mazda CX nine as mirror, I think it is. Um, beautiful condition.

It was a year of manufacture was 2017, uh, and the compliance plate is, uh, 2018. Okay. Oh one. All right. Uh, was bought in April. Um, alright. How many kilometers does it travel? It’s got 97,000 on the clock, 97. All. Uh, and what color? Uh, white and color, good color, alright. And are you looking at a, is it a private sale or at a dealership?

It is. Okay, and how much are they asking for it? They’re asking 29. 29, that’s pretty close to what I was thinking. Um, again, I think that’s, that’s a fair asking price, but I think with the amount of cars that are available on the market at the moment, you just, uh, offering a lower figure is pretty important.

Because you can negotiate now, so I would suggest, uh, somewhere around 27 would probably be a fair, um, yeah, fair price to, to offer. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Yeah, I don’t think it would go that, that low. It’s worth a try. It’s worth a try. It’s worth a try. Um, I just think that, uh, everybody is getting offered, uh, less than, than what they were 12 months ago.

And I don’t think it’s cheeky to, to be offering a couple of thousand less, even if you end up meeting in the middle, it’s still, it’s still a pretty good outcome for both of you. Yeah. All right. Okay, well. Okay. Thank you, Bob. Appreciate it. Great work. All right, we’ve got Peter on the line. Good morning, Peter.

Good morning. How can I help you? Uh, I’ve got a, uh, 2010 BMW 245, um, 6 cylinder, black. I’ve done 153, 000 K’s. And, uh, I’d just like to find out the ballpark for, uh, what it might be worth today. Did you say a 2 4 5? Yes. Hmm. That’s a six cylinder model. Yeah, I know, I’m, it’s just, uh, not a car that I’ve seen for a very long time.

So, probably something that I’ll do a bit of homework for you, um, Peter. Um, do you listen to the program every week, or just when you can, or? No. Most of the time, but, uh Well, what I can do, I’ll do a bit of homework for you and I’ll let you know on next week’s program what I think it’s worth. Not next week.

Oh, sorry, I’m off next week. So, did you leave your details at reception? No. Okay. Can get your phone number and maybe I’ll give you a call? Of course, yeah, that’s fine. My number’s 0404 0404 290 290 617 617 Thank you Adam Thank you Peter, I’ll talk to you soon I can give you a call one day, uh, later in the piece Nah, no problem at all Alright, I’ll talk to you soon OK Bye bye.

Thank you. Okay, bye bye. Okay, um, thank you Peter for your call. Okay, it’s 25 minutes past 10. That’s the official mark now. We’ve only got five minutes for the run home. So if you would like to talk to Adam, why don’t you do it right now? The earlier you get in, the sooner you can get money in your pocket, uh, and getting a new car or something like that.

All right? Double five, two, zero, double eight, double eight is the number and you’ll get directly on to Adam Hall. Okay, Adam, you want to go back to, uh, keep going with that market update, keep going with the market. We’ll finally get through it. So yes, record result for February. Uh, Toyota had an incredible month.

They sold 19, 374 of those, uh, which was up 35. 2%. Uh, and that’s really just a catch up. They’ve, they’ve really started to increase, uh, manufacturing and starting to deliver a lot of those outstanding orders. Uh, Then in second spot was Mazda, uh, they were down 4. 1%, so that’s a struggling result for them. Uh, 7, 350.

Uh, Ford, uh, they did quite well in third spot, they were 7, 275, they were up 20%. Uh, Nissan, uh, for the first time in a very long time was in the top five, uh, they got some very good product at the moment, uh, 6, 617. Uh, Mitsubishi in fifth, uh, Kia in fourth. In 6th, uh, Hyundai in 7th, uh, Tesla, uh, they had a, uh, very big month so they’re in 8th but, uh, if you remember in January they didn’t get to deliver a lot of cars, uh, they had an issue with a ship, um, quarantine or something like that, uh, they’re up 61.

1%, uh, Isuzu Ute, uh, in 9th and then MG Yes, that’s a lot. That’s a lot. We’re gonna take, we’re gonna take Jenny’s call. Let’s do that. Good morning, Jenny. Go ahead, Jenny. Hi, I have a Santa Fe. It’s, I bought it in 2018. I think it’s got a 17 badge. It’s a Highlander. A Highlander, alright. And I just like him. It’s white.

It’s white in colour, alright. Yep. Uh, and it’s the diesel, the 2. 2 litre diesel? Yeah, it’s a diesel, yep. Alright, 2. 2 litre. And how many kilometres has it travelled, Jenny? It’s done 103, 000. 103, alright. Alright. 17, 18, uh, and condition, Jenny, is it pretty well looked after, is it? It’s perfect. Alright. It’s a seven seater.

Seven seater, of course. Alright, uh, I think there’s a, a private sale for that one, uh, uh, being a, so it’s a, so it was picked up in 2018 and, but built in 2017, is that right? Yes, built in 17. Alright. Sorry. Yeah. Alright. I think as a private sale for that one, uh, you should be expecting around the 23 to 24. Uh, and as a trade in, it’ll be about 3000 less than that.

Okay. Thank you very much. You’re welcome, Jenny. Thank you for your call. Bye bye. Yes, thank you for your call, Jenny. That’s, uh, another successful call there. We’ve got, uh, three minutes to go in our program. Why don’t you get on the phone right now, and we’ll put you straight on to Adam Hall and get you a valuation on your motor car.

Okay, Adam. Um, I think we wrapped up on the market update. Do you want to flick now to the comment that’s been announced this week on EV cars? Yeah, I read this story that there’s a report that’s suggesting that the cost to build electric cars could match Um, the cost to build internal combustion engines by 2027.

Now that’d be a fantastic outcome for, for everybody. Um, but I think the one thing that I question with that is there’s so many manufacturers that have pulled back on their electric car Um, sales targets and, and manufacturing targets because they can’t get the cost to where they need it to be to be a profitable company and to be able to offer products that people will buy.

Um, the reality is, is most, uh, mainstream, uh, manufacturers, They’re losing money on every single electric car that they sell right now. Because the cost to build is so high, uh, and that’s why they’ve pulled back on those targets. On those targets, of course. But, um, it’ll be a very big turnaround to be able to equal, uh, and, and that’s, that’s not saying that the cost to replace a battery is, is not going to go up.

It’s still going to be at that really high level. Yeah, that’s still going to be there. Because that’s um, that’s one of the things that’s really impacting resale value on second hand electric cars. People, including myself, have a big concern that if the battery goes, the car’s probably worth not much at all.

Yes, look, there’s some market dynamics playing out now, and some of the, uh, the, um, Issues that have been hanging around behind the scenes concerning the resale value for an EV car. Mm. The increasing costs, the bonuses and the, the, the freebies that they get on the purchase. Yeah. Um, uh, uh, are still in, still there.

That’s right. But it’s impacting the resale value. It is. And it’s a, it’s, you know, it’s a, an evil that’s gonna carry on with the car that people have gotta, uh, cop. Yeah. And unfortunately copying it in the pocket. That’s right. Yes, it’s a, uh, uh, an industry which is certainly fluctuating. Gives me a headache, that’s for sure.

Oh, I’ve got indigestion just thinking about it. Alright then, look, we’re up on news time, Adam. Um, next week, um, we, there won’t be any What’s Your Car Worth. Adam’s got some business he has to attend to. So, uh, we’ll be back in two weeks time. But before we go, that, a very important number if there are listeners out there that would like to talk to you.

You’re listening to 4CRB’s Interviews and Talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. Yes, it is the new, easy way to sell your car, and a very good morning to you. Welcome to our Tuesday Talkback. Ten o’clock time is What’s Your Car Worth time, and sitting with me in Studio One is the man who has all the numbers, and that’s Adam Hall.

Good morning, Adam. Good morning, Wayne. Great to be back. Good to have you back again. Oh, I forgot, you weren’t with us last week. Had a break last week. Had a break. A little holiday there. Terrific. Alright, if you’re looking for a valuation on your motor car, for those regular listeners, you know what it’s all about.

If you’re joining us for the first time, you can get a valuation on your car with Adam. Adam has, uh, many, many years in the car industry, and as a result of that, he has his own consultancy business still in the car business, and he has, uh, got it from, uh, the man on the street as to what the value of these cars are at the present time, because it’s a market that continues, and I know we say it every week, but it’s a fact, decisions are coming every day that are changing the dynamics in the car industry.

That’s right, we were having a bit of a chat before the program, there’s a lot of different manufacturer decisions that are happening now and even even government, um, changes to, um, what they’re expecting in the near future in relation to changing to electric vehicles and so forth. That’s having a big impact on, on expected values of cars as well.

Of course it is. And you, when you’ve got a government saying on one. that sometime on electric vehicles that they’ll represent uh, fifty percent of the number of cars on the road and then just recently a revision of that figure came down to twenty seven percent. That’s right. So look, the figures are all over the place and it really comes down to, I don’t think anyone knows um, what they’re doing and what the forecast should be.

No, well it’s, it’s, I think I’ve said this before, it’s probably been the toughest two to three year period of valuing cars because it used to be fairly steady and, but now it’s, it is extremely volatile. And the beauty of this program is, you know, you’re going to get the right figure as best we can. And we always put this caveat in, Adam will give you a figure for, for your vehicle, but there’s nothing, um, better than looking at the vehicle in the, in the flesh, so to speak.

So we just, we just put that caveat over there, but But, uh, have confidence what he tells you, it is what it is, and, uh, the, uh, way to get a valuation on your motor car if you want to do a trade in or sell it, uh, privately is to call Adam right now on 5520 8888. If you’ve got a good idea of what car you want to buy in going to an auction, that would be very wise to get a figure on that vehicle.

for you at the auction. Be prepared for that. And if you want to get a revaluation for Centrelink and um, insurance purposes, Adam is also the man to give you that. It’s a slightly different formula. And if you just want to sit back and listen to us and have a cup of coffee, you can do that as well. But the number to call right now is 5520 733 7000.

double eight, double eight. Okay, Adam. Oh, look, I love these market sales, market reviews that you do. And can you start with propulsion? Oh, you love that one, don’t you? The propulsion covers what? Uh, how, what sort of engine pushes the vehicle forward? And even that’s a minefield. And in reverse as well. So, so, uh, Yeah, we can do that.

I know you love this one. So sales by, so this is a market update for, uh, February, uh, so sales by propulsion. So it’s still the top, uh, engine, uh, is petrol. So there was 46, 000. Uh, 533, uh, petrol engine sold in vehicles last month. In last month, and it was actually up 4.5%. Wow. Where, uh, now diesel, uh, came in second at 30 2022.

Uh, that was up 21.1%. Fed diesel, fed diesel. So it just goes to show that the demand is absolutely still there for both those engines. We might take Del’s call and I’ll keep going. I think that’s a, I think that’s a very good idea. Here we go. Hello Del. Good morning Del. Good morning, good morning Adam. How can I help you?

A Toyota RAV4 hybrid cruiser, a 2019 model, um, September 19 it was bought, it’s pearl white in colour, good colour, alright, it’s got 26, 000km on the speedy, um, and it’s pearl white in colour. Dark grey interior. It’s got a bonnet protector, headlight protectors, mats, mud flaps, and tinted windows. It’s a very good order.

Alright. Don’t, don’t sell it. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Now, one last question. Is it all wheel drive or the two wheel drive? All wheel drive, no, two wheel drive. Ah, it’s a two wheel drive, alright. Alright, so it’s, uh, five years old. This car would probably have one of the best resale values, uh, on, on the market.

Because, uh, this one, uh, brand new, was probably about, uh, around that 46 mark in a two wheel drive. That’s right. Correct, yeah. That’s right, uh, and that car would probably still sell, uh, around the 40 mark, and that’s five years later. Wow, that’s a good reputation, isn’t it? Yeah. Okay, and for a trade in, Adam, would it be?

Trade in’s going to be a few thousand less than that, so it’s probably going to be around the, sort of, thirty six, six, six mark as a, as a trade. But bear in mind as well that when that car gets resold again, stamp duty has to be paid again as well. So it’s a pretty, it’s a pretty incredible resale value.

It is indeed. Mm. Okay, well that’s great. That’s 40, 000. That’s right. Thank you, Del. Thank you so much. Appreciate that. Appreciate your call. Bye bye. Yeah, thank you. Thank you, Del, for that call. And uh, all our lines are now free. You can get on the phone right now and get directly on to Adam Hall for a valuation on your motorcar by calling 5520 8888.

That, what, what do you see, the rare, that, uh, particular model for Toyota, the Rev. What are the, uh, the, the, the um, reasons for holding their good resale. Uh, increase in new car price, that’s the first thing, and supply. They’ve really, the supply has always been good. pretty much from a couple of years in, uh, at least 12 months to get one.

Okay. So that’s why that, that, uh, it’s really held steady. Steady price wise. Yeah. And have steadily been rising, raising the price of it as well. So, uh, that one now would be about 55, 000 for a brand new Brand new one. Yes. Uh, but it’s still, it still defies, uh, any expectation in terms of, um, resale value.

There’s no doubt about Toyota. They, they build themselves, uh, little niches in the, in the market. You know, you’ve the Corolla, the Yaris, and now the Edge. And, and of course the Hilux story is an interesting one. But the Hilux story, I think. Uh, is, is, uh, a little different. They didn’t lose number one. Really?

Yeah. It was set up by the, uh, the, the, the good marketing from Ford Granger, wasn’t it? Yeah, they did, they did a great job. Yeah. The full site. That’s right. And getting the, getting all their extra vehicles from around the world into the Australian market. Yeah. When, when the Hilux wasn’t available for supply.

That’s right. A very smart move. Mm-Hmm, . Okay. All right. We’ve got, uh, Jim on the line. Uh, good morning, Jim. Yes. Good morning, Adam. Uh, enjoy your show. Thank you. Uh, I’ve got, I’ve got an old car. I’ve got an old Falcon. It’s a 2007 station wagon auto, and it’s got, I’m only after, uh, just a, a figure for, uh, insurance and, uh, so I’m not selling it.

It’s got 300, 302,000 on it. It’s been a great car. 3 0 2, the old, so it’s a, so it’s a bf, uh, Falcon wagon? Yes. I was actually talking to someone a few weeks ago that said the same thing, he said I’ve been running around in this car for many years and he said I’ll never sell it, he said it’s just so practical.

Yep, well I had a taxi in Sydney years ago and we used to get 700, 000 out of a taxi at Falcom. Oh, it’s only just running now. I have it serviced every 5, 000. I’ve had that for years. Oh, that’s great. To keep on top of it. Fair enough. It just keeps going and going. It’s a great car. Good to hear. Look, Ferran, it doesn’t have a lot of value, um, in the market.

Um, more value to you than, than, uh, than for insurance or anything like that. But I think for insurance purposes, probably around that 3, 000 mark, I think, would be the right price. Right. Just so if something was to go wrong, then you can go and get another one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually I bought a, uh, another Falcon here about 18 months ago.

It was the last series, the 2010 G6. Oh, that’s a nice car. Yeah. Lovely car. It had 38, 000 k’s on it. Oh, gee. Very nice. Yeah. Very nice. It’s still only got 44 on it. Oh, what a great car. Well, I appreciate, I appreciate your call Jim. Thank you. And Jim, Jim, are you a Bathurst enthusiast? I bet I know where you sit.

With the Ford, with the Ford crew up on the hill. Yeah, I’ve always been. I used to have a, that’s a Fairlane, the old Fairlane. Ah, great car. Yes. Okay. Good on you, good on you. Thank you Jim. Okay, cheers mate. All the best. Bye. Bye bye. Ah, we’ve got Parika on the line I believe. Hello, are you there? Yes. How’s it going?

Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Um, just have a, I’ve actually got two vehicles. First one, uh, is a 2010, uh, uh, Series 1 BMW convertible. Uh, 1 2 3 diesel. 1 2 3 diesel, uh, in a convertible. Uh, does it have any kilometres on it? Yeah, we’re looking at 203, 000. 203, 000, alright. Okay. I haven’t seen a lot of these around, so it will be a rough idea.

Um, and what colour is it, Perica? Uh, silver. Silver? Black leather interior. Black leather, alright. Uh, I think, uh, private sale for that one, uh, would probably be in that 8, 000 to 10, 000 range. Uh, and what’s the second car that you have? It’s actually a motorcycle. Would you be able to value the motorcycle? I can’t, unfortunately, because I would know as much as you do on what they’re worth.

I don’t, um, I’ve never had any, uh, interest in motorbikes. So, sorry, I can’t help with that one. Alright. No, that’s great. Well, thank you very much for your help this morning. You’re welcome. Thank you for your call. Bye bye. Thanks, mate. Bye. Alright, we’ve got Colin on the line. Good morning, Colin. Yes, hello. How can I help you?

Mate, I’ve got an old beast for sale. I bought it for my son while he was over here and I just want to sell it off now. I’ve done a bit of work on it. It’s an old 2002 Pathfinder. It’s the ST. It’s the V6 3 litre. Oh, the 3 litre. Automatic. Yeah, uh, it’s got a lift kit on it, it’s got a new muffler system and new CVs and new front brakes and, uh, I put some diff struts on it, you know, they were, the bushings were gone on the drifts, so, I had those put on anyway, so.

But it’s got a lot of K’s on it. 320, 000 on it, you know, so. I just want to sell it now because he’s gone back to America and, and, uh, yeah, he used it for a few months. It didn’t miss a beat. I just did a service on it too and it’s got a six month red dress, so. Okay, yeah. It’d be a good island car for somebody, but I know that with the high K’s, the value there is not a whole lot of value.

No, there’s not a lot of value there, but it sounds like you’ve spent a bit of money, so that, um, Yeah. Yeah. You probably just want to describe that when you’re selling it, um, that, uh, cause hopefully people will take that into account a little bit. Uh, I, I think, uh, probably somewhere around that three to three and a half thousand if it’s in roadworthy condition.

Well, the news is I got a roadworthy certificate for it, I just put 6 months reg over my back on it, so. Yeah, so I think, I think somewhere around there. Yeah, that’s like 500 worth there, yeah, about three and a half if I’m lucky, you reckon? Yeah, I think so, yeah. Alright. Okay. Thanks Colin. They’re not worth much, are they, those old bees?

No, unfortunately, no, no. Sorry, can’t give you better news. Yeah, go for it. Yeah, it goes like last week’s pay too, you know. I like that one.

Alright mate, okay Adam, that’s about what I thought. I thought I was hoping to get around four for it, but, uh, No, we’re not too far off. It’s probably wishful thinking. Alright mate. Colin. That’s the comment of the morning. It goes like last week’s pay. Very timely. Alright, we’ve got Dennis on the line. Good morning Dennis.

Yeah, good morning sir. How can I help you Dennis? Uh, I’ve got the chance of a lady next door who’s going to sell her car. I see. And uh, I’d just like to get a price and a reasonable valuation on it. Something for you to buy from her, is that correct? Yeah, that’s the idea, yeah. Okay. Alright, what sort of, what sort of car is it?

It’s a Mitsubishi Lancer, GSI, four door sedan. Eighty eight. Nineteen eighty eight. Yes. Gee, alright, so it’s 36 years old. Nearly as old as us. Ha ha ha, nearly. Alright, so I’m assuming. It’s got 88, 000 Ks on it. 88, 000 on it, has it? Gee. It’s great for informatics. Right, and it’s on automatic as well, gee. What a, what a great little In good condition really.

Well, I’ve looked after it, stopped it in the game, for years, for 60 years. Carbon paint, an old, an old vehicle kind of thing, you know? Yeah, yeah. Look, these sort of cars now, particularly when they’ve got, um, low kilometres like that, they, they’re Look, they’re 10 or 15 years ago, they weren’t worth any money at all.

But now, um, but now they’ve really sort of, that sort of changed people like that nostalgic sort of, um, look back on, on cars. So look, I think realistically something that would be fair, um, would be somewhere around that three to 4, 000 range. And, but it is a rough idea because I just haven’t seen one for such a long Yeah, it’s in good condition really for Dorset Town.

Yeah. She’s the only one that’s ever drove it, by myself. It’d be good to see you take it over and look after it for into the future. Well, one of the granddaughters of my partner, Ah, I see. needs it. They need a second car in the family. Fair enough. And so I’m good for them for that. Yeah. Well, I think it’s one of those cars that if you bought it, you certainly wouldn’t lose any money.

It’ll just continue to grow in value a little bit over. Alright. Okay, well, thanks very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Dennis. Alright, we’ve got Terry on the line. Good morning, Terry. Oh, good morning, Adam. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? I’ve got, I’ve got, I’ve got a, well, I’ve had it for about 27 years now.

I’ve got a Toyota Land Cruiser diesel ute, manufactured November 94. It’s done 310, 000 kilometers. It’s the, um, I think it’s the HZ model. It’s got the straight six, uh, purple, 4. 2. 4. 2 diesel. Alright, uh, and you’ve had it, did you say you’ve had it for 27 years? Well I, I bought it in early 96, um, and it was a November 94 model, I bought it, uh, I was the second owner.

So it was like an ex government one or something like that back then? No, no, actually he was, uh, my brother in law’s, he was in the, uh, excavation industry. Ah, I see. He, he, he, he, He , he turned over his vehicles fairly quickly, so I understand. He gave me a good deal and, uh, I, I, I, I bought it. Yeah. Alright. Got a lot of, uh, oldies but goodies today, that’s for sure.

Oh yeah. Look, it’s not, um, rusty or anything like that. It’s, it’s, oh no, it’s, it’s, uh, very good condition. I, I old. About three years ago I replaced one of the plates on the, on the deck, you know, it got a couple of holes in it, you know, on the tray. But other than that, it’s, uh, brilliant, no, not had a, it’s never let me down.

Oh, that’s good. All right. Look, I think, um, somewhere between that 13 to 15 range is, is probably what you’d ask for if you’re going to sell it privately. Alright. Alright. Okey doke. Alright. Thank you very much. You’re welcome, Terry. Appreciate your call. Yeah, thank you for your call, Terry.

All our lines are free, 5520 8888. We’d better keep going on propulsion, we haven’t got past that yet. And I’m still waiting. So we talked about the two, um, top level, um, in sales. So petrol was number one and diesel number two. Our hybrid, uh, is, was actually up a hundred percent on last year, last month. So 11, 447.

So that’s really becoming quite, uh, dominant. So we’re going to see more of that. Uh, electric, uh, was very close, it was 10, 000 electric vehicles. So the hybrid out and did the, uh, EVs? It did, but also the distortion was that in January, uh, Tesla didn’t deliver a lot of their vehicles because they had an issue with some cars that were coming in that weren’t able to be delivered.

Okay, alright. So it was topped up. So it would more likely be higher than that. Yes. Uh, and then, uh, yeah, so, and then we’ve, right at the end, we’ve got, uh, the plug in hybrids, and there’s only a thousand and thirty four of those, so definitely the hybrid is, is, uh, picking up. Is picking up. Yeah. Okay, wait and see.

Watch this space. All right, we’ve got, uh, Cherry on the line. Good morning, Cherry. Good morning, Cherry. Hello. Hi, how are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? I’ve got a Land Cruiser, 2019 Sahara, silver, grey interior, done 60, 000km at the diesel automatic. Diesel automatic, alright. Uh, it’s got 60, 000, it’s silver.

Does it have any bull bars or anything like that on it, Cherry? Colour coded bull bar. Um, I don’t think there’s anything else I want. Spotlights, that’s about it. Spotlights, alright. Uh, and are you looking to sell privately, or do you like private and trade, or? Yeah, privately please. Okay, alright. Uh, look, they have come back in value, they went up.

To a ridiculous level. Uh, one of the things that has brought them back down in value is you can now get the 300 series in stock and they’re starting to discount those. So that’s how, it is having an impact. Um, but, uh, like this car in 2019 was about 125 on the road. Uh, and I still think it would bring, uh, in the early 100.

So probably around that 105 sort of mark as a, as a resale. Okay. Alright. Okay. Thank you for that. You’re welcome. Thank you for your call. Alright. We’ve got Tony on the line. Good morning, Tony. Good morning, Adam. How can I help you, Tony? Adam, um, I’m ringing for a, uh, Mercedes 200 compressor evolution. It’s, it’s my wife’s car, and I bought it brand new when she turned 60.

She’s now 80, so she’s thinking of hanging up the gloves. Um, it’s in impeccable condition, always had preventive maintenance carried out. Showing about 67, 000 k’s on the clock. And it’s impeccable all around, Adam. Interior, brand new. Not a mark on it. A real good car. Alright, and so it’s 20 years old, it’s a 2004 is it?

Yeah. 2001. Oh, 2001. Okay. All. Yeah. 2001. Geez. 67,000 kilometers. Uh, very low kilometers. Mm-Hmm. , Tony, it’s. Tennis car, I call it. Tennis car? That’s what she ever did with it. Ok, very good. She drove to tennis and home and that’s it. Very good. The tennis racket cut out. She liked using my pressure. Yeah. Look, it’s, generally one of these from 2001 is not worth a lot of money at all, but yours with 67, 000 does, um, certainly, uh, does help.

I think, uh, I would be, if you’re going to sell it privately, probably in that 4, range is what I would be asking. Ok. Thank you. Thanks. I won’t be spelling it. I’ve got two granddaughters that have put their hands up. Ah, very good. Oh, that’s it. That’s a good way to go. Definitely. Yeah, I like to keep them in a family because it’s an impeccable condition.

Sounds good. But I just wanted to know, you know, what we’re gifting them. That’s all. Yes, I understand. Alright, Tony. Well, I appreciate your call. Thanks for your time, Adam. God bless you. Appreciate you talking to me. Thank you. Bye bye. Alright, we’ve got Merv on the line. Good morning, Merv. Good morning. Joe, Joe, good morning to you.

I don’t know how you’re doing. Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Uh, I’ve got a Nissan maximum TI, uh, 2007. It’s done 113,000 and I’d like to say it’s in the same condition it was when I drove it off to show Paul. Ah, uh, and, uh, I’ve looked after it and loved for last, uh, 17 years or whatever it is. So I was just wondering what the figure might be worth.

Okay. Alright. Uh, sounds like a very nice car. What color is it? Merv. Uh, it’s a, uh, a blueish color. Oh, I think blue gray. I think I know the color. Yeah. Uh, uh, once again, uh, the average one of these has probably got well over 200,000 kilometers and they sell at a, uh, now in that sort of two to 3000 range.

But yours is different because it’s, it’s got 113 on it. Uh, I think probably around that 6,000 mark would be the right price to ask. Alright, very much for your help. You’re welcome, thank you for your call. Bye bye. Bye bye. Alright, we’ve got George on the line. Good morning George. Good morning, how are you?

Very well, thank you. How can I help you? I have George, George. Is your radio Is your Turn your radio off please. Okay. Okay, that’s better. How can I help you George? I have Honda Legend, uh, 2000 2000 model Honda Legend, yes? Yes. Yes, and I’ve done 188, 000 cases. 188, all right. Gee, this, um Same effect, current condition, gold in color, full service history, Mm.

leather interior. Mm. This was a very expensive car new. It was about 80, 000. It is. About 80, 000 when it was new, 24 years. Yes, but I am only one owner. One owner from new. All right. Yeah. Uh The sad thing is, there’s not a lot of value left there now. So, if you’re able to hang on to it, it’s, it’s a lot of car for, for what they’re worth.

Uh, uh, the, the last one I saw, which is a fair while ago now, but, uh, similar kilometers, uh, was for sale in that sort of four to 5, 000 range. Okay. Thank you very much. You’re welcome, George. I appreciate your call.

Ouch. That hurts, doesn’t it? Ouch. It hurts. It hurts 24 years ago though. I, I hate, I hate finishing on an ouch. We’ve got Ron on the line. Oh, gee, thank you Adam, but you’re on to it. Good morning Ron. Oh, good morning. Let’s finish on a high. Yeah, yeah, high, come on. I’m not on a high, but um, I hope someone is.

So it’s a yaw walker, all right, and sunroof and all that, uh, and it’s got, did you say 55, 000 on it?

55, 000 something, yeah. All right, now, would you like a private sale value as well as a trade value, Ron? Uh, both if you wouldn’t mind. All right. Uh, and it’s not a hybrid, is it? It’s only the, it’s the petrol? The petrol one, yeah. Okay. Standard one. Alright. I think as a private sale for that one, uh, you should be expecting, uh, in the really late 30s to 40 for it.

Uh. Yep. And if you were to trade it in, it’d be around that 34 to 35. Okay, Adam, thank you very much indeed. You’re very welcome. Thank you for your call, Ron.

You’re listening to 4CRB’s interviews and talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new easy way to sell your car. Yes, it is the new easy way to sell your car. And we’ll tell you more about that as we move through our program. If you’re just joining us for the first time, welcome to What’s Your Car Worth.

with, uh, a man of many years experience in the motor industry, hosting the program, uh, every, uh, Tuesday, and has a, a 99. 9 percent success rate in valuations on your vehicle, and that’s pretty good. Welcome. Good morning. I don’t know about that one. I’ll do my best to keep up with that. I know, but on a serious note, it is very important these days for you to get a real start, a starting price because the fluctuations still continue in the marketplace.

And if you price it too high, you’ll just be sitting there on a website or in a book and getting nowhere. I have, I’ve been talking to a lot of people of late who’ve I’ve been trying to, to go about selling their car and exactly what you just spoke about and they’re wondering, why is this car not selling?

I see that there’s others online at a similar sort of price and people generally have that problem. belief that they’ve looked after their own car, um, better. But there’s a lot of cars out there at the moment that are just priced incorrectly and people are really starting to, uh, there’s not a shortage of cars out there.

So they’re really starting to search and, and even get discounts and that sort of thing on what they’re looking for. So, you’ve really got to make sure you price your car right to get it sold. It’s so hard because Australians have that emotional connection to their car. So then when it comes to move on and sell the vehicle, they factor the emotional aspect into the car, price wise, and that just doesn’t work.

Oh, that’s right. I think we also have, uh, Uh, remember what we paid for a car too. Oh, well that hurts. And they do, they do depreciate over time and then there’s the, the investment in maintenance and all those sorts of things along the way. Uh, but it’s, there’s exceptions to the rule, but there’s, it is a depreciating asset.

Yes, it’s amazing too in this, uh, this environment of soaring prices, particularly in fuel and, uh, uh, The, um, the community is investing in new motor cars. They’re really surging though. The prices are just all over the place, aren’t they? That’s true. All right, we’ve got our first caller. And if you would like to join us, you can by calling 5520 8888 is the number, and you’ll get directly on to Adam Hall.

Now it’s good morning to Erica. Erica, go ahead. Good morning, Erica. Good morning, mine is a testimonial, and I would like to thank Adam Hall for, um, selling, buying my car so quickly and easily. Indeed, your ad is correct. It was quick, it was, um, painless, and Better than I’d hoped for, and um, there was the money in the bank within seconds.

Oh, that’s great. I appreciate you saying that, Erica. Thank you, Adam. That’s very kind of you. Erica, you, you express what we find it hard to do on air, because um, A, Adam doesn’t like talking about those sorts of things, and secondly, it’s very hard to, you know, put, Put, put it into words, and you’ve put it into words exactly why, uh, our program here is so popular, and why, uh, Adam’s business is, um, is, is ticking along nicely, and, uh, it’s just, uh, pe treating people with respect, isn’t it?

I really appreciate your comment. Yes. And it was, uh, it, it was low key Aussie approach. It wasn’t over the top. No thank, you know, pushing, nothing like that. Thank you, Adam. Thank you so much, Erica. Good on you, Erica. Thank you so much. Bye-Bye. Okay, we’re what? We’re off to a flying start. Uh, we’ve got, uh, Barbara on the line.

Good morning, Barbara. Good morning, Adam. Um, I’m, I’m just ringing up to see if I can get evaluation on a Mitsubishi Triton dual cab GLS. GLX, alright, and what year model is that? GLS. Ah, GLS. Yeah, 2019. 2019. Correct. Registered March 2020. Okay, and it’s done 50, 000 kilometers 50, 000. All right Perfect condition.

All right Sounds sounds very nice Yeah, and at the Colours white diamond. White diamond, alright. Very good colour. Has it got any extras on it, Barbara, like bull bars or canopies or anything like that? It’s got bull bar, yeah. It’s got all that sort of, yeah. Beautiful car. Alright, sounds very nice. Uh, would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade figure?

Yes, yes, thanks. All right. Uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting, uh, in the middle thirties for it, so around that, uh, thirty five mark, uh, and if you were to trade it in it’s going to be about three to four thousand less than that. Oh, lovely. All right. Okay. Okay. Thanks.

Thanks for your help, Adam. You’re welcome. Thank you, Barbara. Thank you for your call, Barbara, and all our lines are now free, and you can get directly onto Adam Hall if you ring 5520 8888 for a real time valuation on your baby, your big beast that’s sitting in the garage there. You might be time to get a valuation on that, and you can upgrade to a sporty small car.

Like I did once and then lost it. He lost it. You’ve got too many speeding fines I think. That is true. All in the one spot. All in the one spot. I love Rudd Street, isn’t it amazing? Alright, I bet I’ve got a few friends out there as well being caught at Rudd Street. Alright, uh, 552088. Double 8 is the number for you to talk directly for a valuation on your motorcar with Adam Hall.

And don’t forget the revaluation for Centrelink and insurance purposes. All right, um, top of the list was, uh, BZ4X. Sounds like a missile. Really, uh, really rolls off the tongue that name, doesn’t it? This is, uh, Toyota’s, uh, new electric vehicle, which is now on sale. I actually drove past the dealership yesterday and saw one out the front.

I was actually quite impressed. It’s, I think they’ve done a very good job at, um, with the aesthetic of the car. Whereas a lot of electric cars you see, they just don’t look like that. That just don’t look nice. Yes, yeah. I think the design is pretty good. Yeah, it does look good from the pictures, the pics I’ve seen.

Big surprise is probably the pricing, uh, the expectation was that it was going to be more, uh, than, than what they’ve released it at. Uh, it starts at about 66, 000 plus your on road costs. 000 for the standard two wheel drive and then there’s the all wheel drive model which comes with a lot of other extras as well.

Uh, and that’s about 9, 000 more so you’re talking a little over 80, 000 on the road for one of those. Uh, size wise it’s about the same size as the RAV4. Yes. Uh, but uh, probably the only disappointing, surprising thing was the the driving range. Yes. The average, I think, was about 436 kilometers, and I would have thought maybe Toyota would have gone a bit further than that.

Yes, yeah, and that’s the sticking point, uh, with all manufacturers at the moment. That’s right. Yeah, no one’s, no one’s made that breakthrough. No, no, that’s right. And, uh, there’s only 1, 500 of these coming into the country, uh, this year. So, if you consider that there’s, uh, about 220 dealers in Australia, they’re only going to get about six or seven each in a year.

So, um, they’re not expecting to get rushed off their feet by the sound of it. No, but I think, uh, I think there won’t be any discounts either. No, there’ll be no discounts either. But at one point, at one factor, Uh, in the car, having a look at the car that I like, because I, when I sit into a, sit in a conventional EV car at the present time, uh, to me they’re boring because there’s no instrument panel.

And I love, I love to scan the instruments. You got the, the center, the center touch pad, but, uh, that’s not, In your face, and Toyota have now got a, an instrument, uh, screen, uh, behind the steering wheel there, right in front of you, plus the touch pad. Yeah. And it just adds to the internals that I think, uh, are a bit more It’s all about what we’re used to, and what we feel comfortable with, and that’s, that does make a difference.

It does indeed. Okay, it’s good morning to, uh, Leanne. Good morning Leanne. Hello. How can I help you Leanne? Uh, I wanted to get a price on, uh, probably a private price on selling my Audi A5. Audi A5, alright. Uh, what year model is your Audi? 2012. 2012, alright. Uh, now is it a diesel or a petrol one? Petrol.

Petrol. Alright. Petrol. Petrol, so it’s just the 2 litre TFSI? Uh, yeah, the sports edition one. Ah, the sport, alright. And how many kilometres has it travelled? Uh, 130, 000. 130, 000, alright. Uh, and the colour? Uh, that dark gray. Dark gray. All right. They have come back at fair bit in price. These, uh, and they’re not the easiest to sell ’cause there’s so many people out there now just wanting to go SUV.

Uh, so this is probably a great example of where you really need to make sure you price it right. Uh. I think, uh, for a private figure, uh, I think somewhere around that 16 to 17 maybe is where you should ask. Yep. Alright? Yep, that’s what I was thinking. I was hoping for a little bit more because we just did it up and spent a bit of money on it.

Yeah, I understand. But it’s just really important that you, instead of, um, having it sit on the market, it’s best to get the money in your pocket as quickly as you can. Quickly as you can and I think that’s that’s the sort of price bracket it should be in. All right. very much. Leanne. Enjoy your day. Bye bye.

Bye. Bye bye, Leanne. Thank you for your call. All right, um, all our lines are free again at 5520 8888 for you getting directly onto Adam Hall for evaluation on your motor car. Um, I think we wrapped up the test. Toyota BZ4. Do you happen to know what that stands for at all? I have no idea. I don’t think it stands for anything.

Fair enough. That clears that one up. What an interesting name though. It’s incredible. Yes. I would have thought that it might be It just doesn’t fit the car. No, it doesn’t. No, it doesn’t fit the car. Alright, and now, whilst we’re on Toyota, um, Toyota and fuel emission standards. Well, I was reading a story a couple of days ago and the vice president was talking about the fact that if these fuel efficiency standards are passed in Australia, that he believes that the end of the diesel engine in mainstream vehicles is coming very soon, because it will car companies to manufacture.

Right now, uh, diesel engines are, they’re good for a lot of reasons. Performance, uh, they’re pretty cheap to manufacture. Uh, so there’s a, and There’s a big part of the market buying, buying them. Yes. Especially for commercial uses. Particularly country Australia. That’s right. Country Australia. But if these fuel efficiency standards are passed, and let’s say a Toyota Hilux is 15, 000 more, or a Toyota Land Cruiser is is 25, 000 more, well the market just won’t pay that amount of money to, um, to be in a diesel vehicle, so, uh.

What, what’s the flow on effect of that happening, like for my Massey Ferguson tractor that I’ve got in the corner of the paddock? Yeah, that’s, that’s another thing as well. With the generators Generators in particular, then, you know, what happens to those, uh, flow on, the ripple effect going into the, uh, into, once again, the man on the land.

Yeah, well, I think their focus right now is just to come down hard on the vehicle manufacturers that are importing cars into Australia to make sure that they’ve got across the board, um, they meet this standard. Uh, but when you’ve got. The most popular vehicles in Australia, which we know are the Hilux and Ranger and Isuzu D Max, and they’re all pretty much diesel.

Um, it, it forms a big part of the market. So it’s going to be very difficult for those manufacturers. manufacturers that are making those vehicles to be able to offset it with fuel efficient ones like the BZ4X and, uh, other hybrids. Yeah, yeah. So, it’s, uh, it’s, I don’t know, I just think maybe, uh, heading towards that is a, I think it’s a good thing, but I think the timing.

It just doesn’t work right now. Yes, the ripple effect, and we’ve seen it in decisions being made with automated, remember the big media run on automated vehicles, hands off driving, and this is going to be the way of the future, and of course it’s not, and that was proven to be a false piece of technology that wasn’t wanted.

Well, I also read last week that because Google had been, uh, working on this, this electric car, which would have done all of those things as well. And they’ve spent billions and billions of dollars on this vehicle, and they’ve suddenly pulled out of it. They’re not going to do that anymore. Yes. Look, uh, there’s a long way to go with our car industry in total.

And, uh, and let’s not forget the man on the land. And that’s what Australia is all about. We’ve got to be stuck. We’ve got to make our decisions based on the man on the land. Yeah. And then we in capital cities will blend in with that. But we’ve got to look after the, uh, the engineering aspect of the man on the land and what he needs to, uh, be competitive and, uh, what he has to use.

Well, we’ve, we’ve built up this infrastructure to support those engines for, for many, many, many years. And to suddenly flip that and change it. Yes, it’s a big, it’s a big call. Okay, hey, gee, all our lines are free. That is a weird situation to look at when I look at that monitor that’s usually lighting up like a Christmas tree.

We’ve been talking too much. We’ve been talking too much. Now it’s time for you to join us. And, uh, Adams is waiting for your call right now on 5520 888. We’ll go to a short break and be right back.

And uh, our phone number is double five two zero eight eight eight for you to talk to Adam Hall right now. Okay, Adam. Um. I just wanted to mention, uh, last week there was a lady that called in who had a 1990 model Ford F 150.

Uh, her name was Robin. If you’re listening, Robin, I probably need to get a few more details, uh, about your car because it’s a very different one, uh, being that it’s a 6. 5 litre, uh, V8 turbo diesel. So if we could talk off air, um, you could, you can phone my mobile number, that would be great. Uh, but, uh, hopefully I’ll talk to you soon.

Okay, that was for Robin. Yes. Okay, and the vehicle again, a Ford? Ford F 150. F 150. The big one. Vroom, vroom. Vroom, vroom. Vroom, vroom. Okay, going vroom, vroom. Kia have got a, uh, an entry into the utility market. They have, and there’s been talk about this for a very, probably close to ten years now, about Kia coming out with a ute, but they’ve, they’ve really, uh, worked hard on, Vroom, vroom.

bringing something to market that Australians are going to accept and their statement is that, uh, this vehicle will be the most Australian product ever. And what they mean by that is that all of their testing for this vehicle has been in Australia. So all the, uh, suspension testing, all the performance testing, all of those things.

So it suits Australian driving conditions. And what you were talking about, the man on the land, that’s a very important part. of the market for utes in Australia. Yes. Uh, and if you don’t, uh, consider what the man on the land needs, You won’t get there. you won’t get there. Yeah, that’s good thinking. And it’s called the Kia Tasman.

Kia Tasman. So it’s got a very Australian, uh, name. Yep. Uh, it’s, there’s, there’s a few spy photos online at the moment. Uh, doesn’t really give you a, a, a clue. Uh, good guide as to what it’s going to look like, but I think they’ll get it right. I think TIA have been doing a pretty good job. They do. They turn out a pretty good, a pretty good product too.

They do. When’s that available? When, when is that expected to launch? 2025. Not sure the, uh, what, uh, what month it’ll be, but, uh, they’ve definitely said it’ll be coming out next year. Okay. And, uh, gee, no wonder, no wonder I’m, I’m paying a fortune for my wheat fix. Oh, this is it. We’re talking about transport costs.

Uh, I was talking to Wayne about this before the program and, uh, the stats are, and vehicle costs are costing us so much now and that is fuel, that’s, uh, Uh, insurance, registration, all of those things in the last 12 months have risen by far more, uh, than inflation. So and it’s actually triple, uh, over triple.

So 13 percent was the increase in, in transport costs that covers all those, all those individual costs and our inflation rate was 4. 1%. So it really shows how we’re struggling in that area. It is very difficult. very difficult. Let’s hope the, uh, the federal government can come up with something sooner rather than later.

And, um, the The Land Cruiser with the V eight engine. Oh gee, I love those v eights . Well, the, the Land Cruiser wagon no longer, uh, comes with a, with a V eight engine, but the only one that remains is the 70 series. So the one that comes, the one that looks like it’s from the eighties? Yes, but it’s, uh, so it comes in the u the single cab unit and the dual cab.

They also come in a wagon, uh. There’s still orders outstanding for these v eights, but there’s been an indication that that will be the last, the orders of them orders that we’ll get fulfilled. So you won’t be able to order one of those again. They’re now available in a four cylinder, which is the same engine, uh, that is in the Hilux and the Toyota Prodo and the Fortuner.

Mm-Hmm. Uh, so they’re really encouraging people to change their orders now from the V eight, uh, into the, the four cylinder. Into the four cylinder. I’m sure a lot, lot of those V eight buyers will. Be reluctant to do that. When’s the next reporting, reporting period end in terms of the Hilux or the Ranger versus the Hilux in one and two?

Oh, well, it’s every month and generally I have the results by, uh, should be by tomorrow. So next week’s program. That’ll be an interesting, that’ll be an interesting year to see what’s happened there. Definitely. You know, I’ve seen some advertising lately with, uh, Toyota really pushing that they have stock now.

Uh, so they’re really trying to, uh, catch up. They will do it eventually. Okay, it’s good morning to Barry. Barry, go ahead. Good morning, Barry. Good morning. I have an Audi A5. You’ve got an A5 as well. Yeah. Two of those this morning. It’s a 2010. 2010? Convertible. Oh, convertible, alright. Convertible, alright. Done 71, 000 kilometres.

Gee, 71, 000. Yeah. Yep. Very local modus. Yep. Uh, and is it the two liter, uh, petrol? Yes, it is. Two liter. Yes. It’s two liter, yes. Alright. Uh, now does it have an S line package or anything like that, Barry, or just a No, no, no, no. S line. Have you had this car a long time? Yes, about five years. Five years, alright.

Kilometres are very low, very low for a 2010. Uh, there’s a limit to what they’re worth though, because it is, it is 14 years of age. Uh, is it conditioned very good, Barry? It’s good condition, yes. Alright. Uh, I think you’re, you’re, it’s going to be a rough idea, but I think your private sale value is going to be in that 15 to 18 thousand range.

Right. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. Thanks very much. You’re welcome. Thank you for your call. Yes. Thank you for your call, Barry. All right. Well, we’re down to it’s 27 minutes past 10. Uh, we’ve got the usual rush coming on. I would expect you, if you get on the phone now, we’ll take your call. So let’s do the usual hundred and, uh, we’ll answer your, give you your valuation in quickly.

Find quick smart time. Okay, and, um, Mazda are facing, um, Mazda have been naughty. They have, apparently. Well, it costs them. The ACCC have ruled this, and what this relates to, they’ve just been fined 11 and a half million dollars by the ACCC, and what this relates to is that Uh, several customers, uh, have had what’s deemed to be major faults with their vehicles.

And what sometimes the manufacturers will do, they’ll try and repair the vehicles when the customer is requesting a full refund. And that’s a breach of the Australian Consumer Law. If something is a major fault. Yes. And it takes a, lot of time. Fair period of time to fix it, the customers entitled to a full refund.

Full refund. So I think it was about seven or eight different models of cars from 2013 to 2018. But there was several examples of where they’ve refused a refund and just tried to keep fixing the car. Um, but ah, they’ve done it. been hit with a pretty incredible fine, eleven and a half million dollars.

There’s a lesson learned. So it’s pretty good warning for other manufacturers out there as well. Yeah. But also to the consumer, if you have a major, major, major fault. The protection is there for them. It is, that’s right. Yeah, okay. I can see a call coming in at the moment, so we’ll just go quickly to used car supply.

Still up or down? Oh, there we go. We’ve got Sue there, we’d better take a call. Sue, good morning. Good morning, Sue. Oh, good morning. Hi. How can I help you? Um, well, I’m just wondering what my Lexus 350 sports luxury would be worth. Is it an RX 350 is it? RX 350. All right. Done 56, 000 kilometers and it’s a 216.

And, yeah. And it’s a Sports Luxury and it’s a 2016. Alright. Uh, 2016, 56 and Sports Luxury. And what colour is it Sue? Uh, Titanium Silver. Titanium Silver. Alright. Would you like Private Sale and Trade? Uh, just, yeah, Private. Alright. Uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting, uh, in the early 40s for that one, so around the 42.

Alright. Alright. Okay. All right. All right. Okay. Excellent. very much. Thank you for your call. Bye bye. Bye. All right. We’ve got Peter on the line. Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Adam. How can I help you, Peter? Um, I’ve got a 2020 Landcruiser 200 VX. Um, I’m thinking about selling. I see. It’s Crystal Pearl, done 50, 000 kilometres.

50, 000, alright. Um, Crystal Pearl, 50, 000. Uh, and Has it got any extras on it, Peter? Bull bars or anything like that? It’s got a tow bar and a dual battery system. Alright. And has it got the black leather or the beige leather? The black leather. Black leather? Black. Alright, sounds like a very nice vehicle. It is.

Would you like private sale or trade figure or? Uh, both please, if you can. Alright, certainly. Uh, I think if you were to, uh, they have come back a bit in price now, now, but, uh, I think if you were to sell it privately, uh, still very good resale compared to what they were new. I think you should be expecting around the 95 mark for it.

Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s going to be about 10 percent less than that. Yeah, that’s good. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Peter. Appreciate your call. Yes, thank you, Peter, for your call. Okay, that just about wraps it up for this edition of What’s Your Car Worth?

Transcript

You are listening to four CRBs interviews and talkback series. What’s your car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new easy way to sell your car. Yes, it is the new easy way to sell your car and we’ll tell you more about that later on. But for now, I have the man right in front of me.

It. He’ll, he’s got his, he’s got his old, uh, his old book, . He doesn’t, he doesn’t have any technology. If you’re joining us for the first time, oh, first of all, good morning to Adam Hall. Good morning, Wayne . Nice to have you back again, mate. Thank you. And, um, the, he doesn’t have, uh, any of the red books, blue books or yellow books, uh, that they put out, or he doesn’t have a laptop in front of him.

He’s got a, a, a sgy old pencil that he uses and, and a book that’s well worn and. The rest of it is in his mind, and it’s an amazing mind, uh, full of, uh, many years in the car industry. And his objective is to give you a real time valuation, uh, so that, uh, that websites and books take a while to get out into the marketplace.

And in that time, your car price could go anywhere. That’s that’s absolutely right. And one of the things, uh, I know I wasn’t with the pr with the show last week, but, uh, the show before that, uh, during our program that, uh, morning, we had, uh, a lot of interest in insurance valuations. And, uh, really, it this is another category, uh, that you should check with Adam, because you could be paying too much in premiums for a car that you’ve got valued, and now the valuation has changed so much that it needs adjusting.

That’s right. I’m getting a lot of calls, uh, within the program, but also after as well. A lot of people are concerned that the pricing that the insurance companies, there’s some that are still a little bit too low, uh, particularly with people that have got cars that have only traveled really low kilometers, uh, the insurance companies aren’t taking that into account.

Um, but on the, on the flip side, there’s, there’s a lot there that are. where people are over insured at the moment and which, which translates into a much higher premium. Yes. So we can save you some money also in that area. And of course, if you’re wanting to sell your car privately or as a trade in, Adam can give you a real time valuation for that vehicle and get you off to a great start as we will with Erica this morning, Erica.

Good morning. Good morning. Is it Erica? Yes. Yes, that’s right. Hello, Erica. How can I help you? I’m wondering, do you do caravans? We are looking to buy one. A caravan, ah, I don’t, I don’t. Every now and then I have somebody that calls me that is looking to sell a car in a caravan, but it’s pretty rare, Erica. If you’re in a hurry to buy something, I’m probably not the right person.

Um, but I can, I can speak to you after the program if you wish. Okay. Alright. I’ll text you. Alright, thank you Erica. Okay. Thank you for that, Erica. What’s your caravan worth? Well, I suppose we could, I don’t see what’s your car worth, uh, closing doors in the short term, but, uh, it might be something. It is really tricky to price caravans because they’ve all, they have so many different features.

Yes. Uh, and if they’ve, let’s say, I remember looking at one that had two single beds, uh, instead of a double bed, which is a big detractor on for the, for the average person. Yes. Uh, and the difference in value is incredible. So it’s something that I really haven’t got, haven’t got the knowledge, I haven’t got the knowledge.

All right. Well, uh, well, all our lines of. free, waiting for you to give us a call. And this program really is your program. We’re here to help you. And there’s no charge as well, because if you go on to the, some of the websites, they can charge you up to 40 to get a specific evaluation on your motor car.

But this one is all on the house. Our compliments to you. So, 55208888 is the number. For you, get a realtime valuation on your car. If you wanna do a trade in a private sale, or you’re going to an auction, or you want to get a revaluation for Centrelink or insurance purposes. Um, you can check it out with Adam right now on double 5 2 0 double eight.

Double eight. Okay. Uh, we might start with without ev Car of the Year. Yes. Uh, this seems to be a, a pretty, uh, common thing now that, uh, a lot of the, uh, publications that, uh, rate. New cars coming through, they tend to be leaning towards electric cars for their car of the year. So the Kia EV9 was announced last night as the drive car of the year.

You may have seen the ads on TV, they’ve been really pumping the advertising on that vehicle. And it’s a smart car. A smart looking vehicle. It is. It is a smart looking vehicle. But it’s an expensive vehicle. It is. It’s, uh, I was having a look at the pricing and it’s, uh, starts, by the time you get it on the road, it’s about 105, 000.

Yeah, gee, it’s getting up there, isn’t it? And that’s for the base model. Yeah, that’s the base model. And by the time you get up to the GT line, you’re up at about 135, 000. Gee, that’s getting So really, I think the concerning thing about, uh, when they’re rating these cars now Other, is it getting to a point that the average person can’t afford the car of the year?

I think people want to see, uh, the value in there as well, because there’s so many people out there that just, well, there’s so many cars that are sold well under 100, 000. And well under 50, 000 is where most of the action happens with new cars. So, to give a car of the year to something that’s so expensive, I just don’t know whether that’s, um Yeah, and it’s a full electric, isn’t it?

Full electric car. We’re not talking hybrid here. That’s right, and it’s quite a big SUV too. Yeah. It’s about the size of a Toyota Prado, so Uh, it’s, it’s a lot of money when you think about paying and, and, and, uh, Kia, that Kia model is not on its own. A lot of the electric cars in the up market are in the up market, um, segment.

They are, price wise, they are. Um, and to pay that sort of money for a car that really is building its history at the moment, it has no history, no on resale. No. So we’re in a building phase and that, that at this stage hasn’t been shown to be, uh. Well, we don’t know. Will it hold its value with the cost of the replacement of the batteries coming into play?

Well, there was talk about, uh, I read this story about, um, how, uh, Tesla wanted to place themselves in the market. Did they want to just be a mainstream, uh, manufacturer of cars? And that’s, that’s what their intention was. Yeah. It’s sort of considered as a luxury vehicle, and it really only comes down to the price of the car.

That’s what it is, and nothing else other than that. So they’ve accidentally become a luxury car brand, but because of the cost of that technology of electric, uh, motors. Yes. It’s, uh, it puts them into that, that higher category. Yes, it’s, uh, a little, uh, some risk in buying one, but nevermind, it’s a lot of enjoyment.

They’re smart motor cars and they look very smart. All right, let’s, uh, go to our next caller. We’ve got Anne on the line. Good morning, Anne. Good morning. How can I help you, Anne? Well, 2014 Subaru Outback registered first in 2015. I see. Uh, right. 139,000 Ks on the clock. 1 39. All right. Uh, now is it the, is it the top of the range one?

Does it have leather tree? No, it’s the one below. The one below. All right. Yeah, without the sunroof and leather seats. Alright, and uh, and what color is it in? It’s a silvery gold. Silvery gold. I know the color. Alright. Alright. Twenty fourteen, a hundred thirty nine. And would you like, uh, a private sale figure as well as a trade?

Yes, please. And also for insurance. Alright. Uh, I have just reinsured it. Alright, so it’s just registered. Alright, I’ll start with insurance. Uh, I think for insurance purposes, uh, you should, uh, have it insured around the 17 mark. Uh, if, uh, for a private. It’s going to be a bit lower than that. So around the 15 to 16, uh, and trade value will be another couple of thousand below that as well.

And thank you so very, very much. You’re very welcome. Thank you, Anne. I appreciate you. Thank you. Bye bye. Thanks. I listen to you every week. Oh, thank you. Oh gee, I’m here too. I know, I listen to you guys and I listen to Don Glover. I listen to 4C. I’ve been four radios. In the 4CRB. Oh, you’re gorgeous too.

Thank you so much. Bye bye now. Thank you. Bye bye. Goodbye. Alright, we’ve got George on the line. Good morning, George. Yes, hello. How can I help you, George? Yeah, I’m just um, wondering with selling a vehicle that um, is on a um, repairable write off. I’m wondering how I can advertise that. Is there a way, if I may?

Okay, uh So, it’s a repaired write off that’s been inspected and passed, is that correct? Correct, yeah. Everything’s been done and I’ve had it now for almost 2 years. OK. 2019 Ford Ranger. Ford Ranger, OK. Alright, well look, the best thing to do is When you advertise it, is just to, are you talking about putting it on car sales or Facebook Marketplace or?

That’s correct, yeah. Alright. Facebook, yeah, Marketplace. Alright, well when you put it on Marketplace, you just need to put it into your description and just make it very clear. Uh, a good, a good thing that people do, I don’t know how much damage it had at the time, but, uh, I is to off, if you have photos of, of what the damage was.

Not to put it in the ad, but make it available to, to say to people, yeah, this is, this is the, the impact damage that it had. And um, the photos are available at request because a lot of people will build that picture in their mind. Oh, the car’s been written off and they sometimes will, will. think that it’s worse than it possibly was.

Yes, it is. Yeah, it could be. Yeah, and the last thing is you’ve just got to make sure you price it right because people, uh, will, they expect to buy them for a lot less than the equipment. Yeah, that’s correct. Alright? Yeah, so they do actually, you can still sell them obviously. Absolutely. And it’s very good for the parasite.

Yeah. No reason it can’t be stopped. Yeah. I personally don’t get involved in written off eagles at all, but there is a lot on the market. Correct. Yeah. Okay. Awesome, Adam. Thank you, sir. Thank you, George. Bye bye. And a very good advice to make sure you take the photographs. Yes. Very good advice. Yes. Okay. All right.

We’ve got Jenny on the line. Good morning, Jenny. Hello. How can I help you, Jenny? Well, I don’t plan on selling, um, but just, this is for insurance purposes, because I heard you mention that. Yeah, of course. So I have, I bought a 2011 Jeep Wrangler 70th edition, new, and so I’m guessing it was probably about 13 years old, 12 or 13 years old now, so I’m just wondering what the value would be for my insurance.

Alright, uh, is it a 4 door or, or is it the 2 door one? It’s a two door and it’s got 156,000 Ks on it. 1 56. All right. Uh, and is it a diesel or a petrol? Petrol. Petrol. And is it automatic or manual? Manual. Manual. All right. Uh, and it’s got a hundred fifty six twenty eleven. Uh, I think for insurance purposes, uh, you should, uh, have it, um, insured for around the 18 to 19.

Oh yeah, because I only just reinsured it the other day and I think, I can’t remember what it was, but I think it was about that much. Yeah, yeah. I just, I can’t see many, I’ve never seen another 70th edition. Mmm, yeah, yeah, there’s not a lot, there’s not a lot of them out there, but um, yeah, I think, I think around that 18 to 19 is the right figure.

I just, I nearly, I was within the term of silence before you can say you’re having a senior’s moment. Okay. So I’m, it’s not a senior’s moment.

I think we both were, but just before we move on from the EVs, you know, I had a, I had a drive in a, in an EV vehicle a couple of weeks ago, and there’s no doubt that the, uh, the surge of instant. Power is quite a feature of the vehicle. Oh, it’s impressive. You’re not going to use it all the time, but when you put the foot on, it, it responds instantaneously.

Yeah, it’s definitely a very different response to a combustion engine. Yeah. But another thing, whilst the silence is a benefit, I guess, for, for both people outside and people sitting in the car, the disadvantage of two is that there’s no noise to soften the noise of the road, the road noise and hitting any, any roughness.

periods in the roads. It really comes through the vehicle. I have noticed that. So nothing’s perfect, is it? No, and I think they probably need to work on more insulation, uh, to offset that. Offset that. Because it does, it does make you think that you’re perhaps driving a cheaper car or something like that.

It feels, and that engine noise just block that out a little bit. That’s correct, yes. And the other thing that I found is that I find it, it’s a boring interior. There, there, you’ve got, you know, you’ve got your touch screen, but there’s no instruments and there’s no flashing lights and it, to me it, it, it, it lacked um, motivation.

It’s like you’re in a waiting room or something like that. Yes. You don’t have the magazines to read. True. There’s nothing there and, but a younger person would be, um, more, uh, find it more off putting to see all the dials and twitches and switches and everything. That’s right. And they’re quite comfortable with a touch screen.

So the new, the new generation coming through, that sort of technology does suit them, but I don’t know. I’m in the old school, I’m afraid. Well, I think it’s hard for us because we’ve, we’ve come from a very different, uh, generation and the sort of, what we got out of cars, and what we continue to get out of cars is, is a very different feeling to what some of the, uh, the current generations are.

We’re still of an era where that noise comes out the back. That’s right. It’s goosebumps. That’s right. Yeah, it’s, it’s that powerful. I’ve read something about, uh, Ford the other day and they, they were saying they’re very They’re still very proud that they’re, that they’re building a V eight engine. They, yes.

They think that that’s, that’s a big part of their history and their future of the history. Yes, of course. That, that one word part of their future, I thought was a, an interesting thing to say. An interesting thing to say, Hey look, this is your program. Uh, we’d love you to call us and you can do that right now.

We’ve only got about seven minutes to go, so please give us a call on double five two zero double eight. Double eight, and there is our. Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Peter. Uh, good morning. How can I help you? Um, yes, I’m just ringing on behalf of a friend. Um, we’re looking for a valuation for a, um, Ford Ranger dual cab, uh, diesel.

Um, I’m not sure whatever details you require. Do you know what year model it is, Peter? Uh, yes, it’s 2018. 2018, uh, now, is it the XLT? Um, it says four times four. I’m just reading the registration. Does that mean anything? Ah, so it’s a four by four. Uh, it doesn’t say, uh, Ranger XLT or XL or anything like that there?

Uh, no, it doesn’t. It just says dual cab, five seats, um, uh, GVM 3200. Alright, uh And do you know how many kilometres it’s travelled? Uh, yes, it’s just, um, it’s very low, um, say 30, 000 or something like that. 30, 000, alright. I’m going to assume it’s the XLT, because the XLT was the most popular model for, uh, for retail buyers.

A lot of the fleets and that for Uh, mining and that sort of thing bought the XL, uh, so I’ll assume it’s an XLT, uh, and it’s automatic as well? Yes, it’s automatic. All right. Uh, I think, I’ll give you, would you like private sale and trade value? Yes, please. All right. Uh, given the kilometres are so low, uh, I think a private sale for that one, uh, you’d be looking at, uh, around the 46 to 47, uh, and as a trade value is going to be about three to four thousand less than that.

Okay. That’s terrific. Well, thank you very much for your help. You’re welcome. Thank you, Peter. Appreciate your call. All right. Okay, let’s keep the calls coming in and, uh, that number for you to call right now is 5520 888 and you’ll get directly on to Adam Hall. Good morning, John. Good morning, John. You there, John?

Yes, mate. How can I help you, John? Oh, Adam. I’m sorry, mate. Uh, Adam, uh, I heard that lady ringing you, uh, about a caravan. My, uh, my wife of 50 years passed away last August. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s alright, I have a van, but it’s got too many memories. And I’m happy to sell it, and I’m happy, uh, if you want it.

It’s a big van, it’s a 25 foot. Okay. And, uh, it’s, um, it’s as new. And, uh, it’s got washing machine, dryer. Um. Full size oven, full size fridge, double, double slide out if, if, uh, it’s the size you want and you want to handle it, uh, I’m happy to pay your commission. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you, John. I appreciate the call.

Um, did you leave your details at reception? No, I can go back there and leave them. Well, listen, John, excuse me, John, it’s Wayne here. John, it might be worthwhile if you just give Adam a call after, after 9. 30. Yes, after 10. 30. Sorry, after 10. 30, that’ll be the easiest way to do it, mate. And, uh, we can see what we can sort out for you.

Wayne, what time would suit you for me to ring? Uh, probably within the, after the show, about an hour after would be great, if that’s okay. And do you have my number? No, just give it to me again. Alright, it’s 0404 0404 290 290 617

All right, mate, I’ll give you a ring one hour after the show finishes. Great. Thank you, John. I appreciate your call. Thanks, John. All the best. Okay, let’s keep pushing on. That number is 55208888. We’re coming home strong, so if you want to get a valuation, you can do it right now. Good morning to Leo. Good morning, Leo.

G’day, mate. How are you, Adam? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Hi. How are you? Hey, I was just listening to a very interesting article. You’re talking about EV vehicles. I’m considering buying one, but I’ve sort of worked it out. I use 50 a week in fuel. So, if you take that over 12 months, it’s only about 2, 500.

Like, it’s going to take me years to pay for that car. That’s right. Um, now, a friend of mine has bought a Yaris, um, uh, hybrid car. Oh, yes. And he went from Tweed Heads to Port Macquarie and back the other day on 13 litres of fuel. Isn’t that incredible? And, and I’m just thinking to myself, and, and I was only reading an article in the paper this morning about the um, Hertz Rent A Cars are selling all their EV vehicles and going back to petrol.

So it’s, you know, and it still costs you money to charge the thing with electricity. It does. So I don’t know where the psychology is in, in that, you know, when I, what I’m talking about. You know, I’m not sure that. And in Europe, they’re just parked up everywhere and no one wants them, you know, and it’s sort of, I’m just wondering if that’s going to happen in Australia, you know.

There’s been, there’s, they’ve, they’ve hit a few headwinds, uh, electric vehicles. Now they’re really starting to, to struggle, like to build market share. Uh, and if you’re not doing a lot of kilometers. The, economically, it doesn’t make sense to, to do it. And I really, in my opinion, I think hybrid technology is, is the way to go because you’re not paying too much more for the vehicle, but as you said, you’re getting fantastic fuel economy at the same time.

Well look, thanks for your time, I appreciate it, and um, I hope there’s a few listeners thinking about buying an electric vehicle because I can’t see the psychology in it really, yeah. Thanks for your input, really appreciate it. Okay, bye bye. Alright, we’ve got Christine on the line, good morning Christine.

Are you there Christine? Oh yes I am. How can I help you? Um, Adam, I’m just ringing up regarding My husband’s car, he has a 2019 Subaru Forester, um, and it’s done 47, 000. 47? And it’s in very good condition, yeah. Alright. Uh. I don’t even know what it’s worth. Alright, and it’s just the base model is it, Christine?

Hasn’t got leather trim and sunroofs? Yeah, it hasn’t. It’s got leather seats and everything. It would be the top of the model. Oh, top of the range, alright. Yep. Alright. Uh, and 47, 000 kilometres. Uh, would you like a private sale value as well as a trade? I don’t want to trade, just a private. Private, alright.

Uh, I think there’s a, a private sale for that one, uh, with 47, 000 on it. You should be looking at it in the early 30, 000, so around that 32, 000 to 33, 000. Okay. Alright. That sounds good. Okay. Okay, thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you for your call. Alright, we’ve got Craig on the line. Good morning, Craig.

Good morning. Is that Adam? Yes, it is. How can I help you, Craig? Uh, okay, I’ve got a, uh, valuation for a private sale I’m interested in finding out about my, uh, club sport. Ah, I see. Alright. What have you got? So I’ve got, uh, so it’s an HSV, uh, 2014 model VF club sport. I see. And it’s, uh, got 52, 000, it’s done very low K’s and it’s always garaged right from the day it rolled off the showroom floor.

Hmm, alright. Now, now out of, you know, obviously they’re not building them anymore, so there’s, you know, there’s quite a lot of interest around in, in those sorts of things as sort of a, you know, collectible sort of car, I guess. Is yours a manual or an automatic? It’s auto. Am I right? Craig, what I might do, uh, because look, they did hit a real peak, um, but they have come back a little bit.

So I just want to check. I just want to check for you and I’ll let you know on next week’s program what I think it’s worth. Sure. Okay. I might not be tuned in next week. So, uh, if I stay on the line, can I give you some contact details? Uh, I’d say we would have, uh, captured your details at reception as you came through.

So I’ll, I’ll contact you. That would be awesome. Thanks mate. Thank you Craig. Okay, see ya. Alright, we’ve got Marianne on the line, last call. Good morning Marianne. Are you there Marianne? Yes. How can I help you? I have a, uh, phone number on the board. Uh, Marianne, Marianne, are you on a hands free there? Yes. Go off hands free if you can please.

She can’t hear you. Okay. What have you got there Marianne? A 2016 Pajero Sport. Pajero Sport. Automatic. Diesel. Alright. Uh, is it a GLS or GLX or an Xceed? GLX. GLX. Alright. And how many kilometres? Uh, 75, 000. 75. 691. 691. Alright. Uh, and good condition? Yes, it is. Alright. Uh, I think as a, a private sale for that one, uh, you’d be looking in the early 30s for it, so around that 32.

Uh, and trade value’s got to be about three, three to three and a half thousand less than that. Alright. Trading value is less than that? Yes, trading value less than the private sale, that’s right. Alright. Okay, then. Thank you. You’re welcome. Thank you, Marianne. Bye bye. Bye bye. Okay, thank you for your call, Marianne.

Transcript

You’re listening to 4CRB’s interviews and talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. And as the promo says, it’s a very good morning to Adam Hall from Hall Group Queensland. Good morning, Colin. How are you? I nearly said Wayne.

I’m sorry. I’m in that habit. I don’t look anything like it. Well, Adam is here to value your car for, and now I’ve gotta get this right. Insurance, Centrelink purposes, trade, or just for private sale. Did I miss anything? No, I think that’s about it. Perfect. All right. Double 5 2 0 double eight. Double eight is the number.

Do not leave it to the last minute. Get in early and be one of the first to have your car or vehicle valued. And that number again? Double 5 2 0 8 8 8. We’ll roll straight into the market wrap. Yeah, we’re gonna. pretty big one. This is for January, which just came out over the last few days. Still a very strong result for January.

89, 782 new cars sold, which is up by 5. 8 percent from January 2023. Starting to come back a little bit now though, because some of those I’ve been reporting over the last few months, most of the increases over the previous year have been double digit increases. So that’s starting to happen. Thank you.

Pull back a bit but still a very strong result. Would you believe that 55. 5 percent of the market now is just SUV? Wow. It’s huge. It wasn’t that long ago when passenger vehicles were about 50 50. 55%?! Uh, light commercials are 22. 9%, and then down the bottom is, now is passenger vehicles, which is your normal hatchbacks that sort of thing.

That’s at 18. 3%. Wow. So it’s really fell away by a lot. Uh, electric vehicles, uh, there was an expectation that this year that, Uh, electric might hit, uh, 10%, but for last month, it sort of, uh, stagnated at 5. 4%, which is about on par with where it was last year. Uh, hybrid was 12%, so hybrid is, uh, is going very well, and that’s, uh, comes back to, uh, the, the supply of hybrids is now starting to come into the country, so a lot of those are being delivered.

Yes. Uh, in terms of brands, uh, once again, Toyota finished number one as they’ve, they’ve done for the last, uh, I think it’s 20, 21 years now in a row, uh, 17, 903, which is about 20 percent of the market. Wow. Incredible result when you think, uh, one in five cars are sold by that brand and there’s nearly 70 different brands in the country.

So it’s, uh, that’s an amazing number. Dominant performance. Uh, Mazda finished, uh, number two, uh, with 8, 165, a long way from, from Toyota. Uh, 624. So you think that number two and three are still well behind what Toyota are doing on their own. Uh, Hyundai, uh, 6, 162, and then coming in at fifth, uh, spot was Mitsubishi with 5, 911.

Let me ask you this quickly, how’s the new model going for Honda and Mercedes Benz? Are they selling what they were hoping they were selling? Uh, in One word, no. Uh, not even close. I actually had a look at, uh, the Mercedes number for last month and it was well down on last year. They’re really, uh, it’s really starting to have an impact on them.

Uh, there’s Honda Uh, had a little bit of a better month, uh, last month compared with last year, but they’ve got a lot of new models. Yes. So there’s normally a big uptick in sales when you get a new model, uh, come in. They’ve got the new ZRV, the new CRV has just come out as well. So I think they would have been expecting to do a whole lot more than what they have.

Uh, I think they’re back to about 16 cars a year. And at one point they were up to about 60, 000. That’s right. So, it’s really having a big impact. I don’t, I don’t think, uh, Australians like to not negotiate at all. Yes. Yes. We love a good negotiation. You gotta feel like you had a win somewhere. That’s right.

I think that’s a, that’s a big part of it. But, uh, uh, in terms of the, uh, the models and how they’re going, uh, I don’t know whether you’ve seen it, but there’s a lot of these Ford Ranger ads out now saying that, uh, that car finished number one for the first time. Toppled, uh, Toyota for Uh, the HILUX. Uh, they’ve done it again in January.

They’ve finished about nearly 700 units ahead of, uh, the HILUX. Didn’t you say that there was some sort of skew, though? They packed a container ship full of, uh, full of four wheel drives to get it over here and win the title? Well, they actually rented their own ship. They rented their own ship to make sure, uh, that they would get it over the line.

But the reality is, is that new Ford Ranger, it’s performing really well in the market. And the Hilux is getting to the end of its, uh, lifespan, uh, where we’ll get a new one. Uh, I, I think that’ll be coming next year. We’ve got an update, uh, that’s coming in, um, March or April, which I think you mentioned earlier is going to have a mild hybrid, uh, diesel, uh, but there’s no difference to the shape.

So I can see Ford Ranger will definitely finish well above Hilux this year. Uh, would you believe, uh, the LandCruiser, uh, uh, 300 series, the big, big LandCruiser, that finished in third spot last month. So that’s, uh, they’ve had an increase in supply, so that’s going, doing very well. Uh, the Isuzu D Max was finished in fourth, uh, and then the RAV4, uh, in fifth.

Okay. I do know that the Isuzu is very popular. I’ve got a couple of friends who’ve bought them and told me that they just didn’t want to go down the Ford road and, and that was, uh, they’re a great car. They are. They’re very reliable. Uh, that new model has performed really well in the market. They’ve really improved a lot.

Alright, 55208888 is the number. Do not leave it to the last minute. If you want your car valued by Adam, we’re live on air this morning and we’ll keep going with the market wrap. Everyone’s going easy on me this morning. Yes, they are. Where are you? My brain might fall asleep. Alright, so, uh, I thought we might talk about, uh, sales by fuel type, because I think that’s a pretty, uh, uh, important subject at the moment.

Yes. Uh, a lot of people are asking me, uh, Should I buy another petrol vehicle? Is it going to be obsolete in the next few years? But, petrol is still the most dominant, um, uh, fuel, fuel, uh, for sales. Uh, of the 89, 000 units, 42, 247 is still. Petrol. Okay. So it’s, uh, it’s close to 50 percent of the market. And then in second place is diesel, uh, with 28, 923.

Uh, hybrid going very well, uh, 9, 821. And then you go down to electric, uh, 4, 893. Uh, the plug in hybrid. Uh, there was 980 of those sold, and uh, would you believe, hydrogen won. That’s one of those registered in the entire country. Where do you get hydrogen from at this point to fill it up? Yeah, exactly. But uh, who knows what will happen with that um, technology in the future.

While we’re back on the hydrogen, who’s actually selling the hydrogen car? Toyota have got a limited number of, um, I’ve just lost me the name of it now, but, uh, there was a limited number of these, um, vehicles released for, uh, government departments and there’s only Okay. They have a, they have a refueling facility, I think, in Victoria.

The buses up here in Brisbane are run on hydrogen, so yeah. Yeah. So that’s, uh, I think, uh, there’s a long way to go with that before that, um, I think, uh, one car is a little bit, that’s right, doesn’t really tell us too much, uh, in terms of countries, uh, Japan is still, uh, very dominant, uh, for manufacturing, uh, 28, 224 of those were delivered, uh, Thailand in number two, uh, 20, 153.

There’s a lot of, uh, Toyota and, uh, even your, um, Ford Rangers, Isuzu D Max, they’re made in Thailand now. Okay. So, a lot of, um, a lot of vehicles made there. Uh, China is the one that is really starting to surge ahead, they’re finished in third spot. 12, 902 Chinese built vehicles. Uh, then you go down to Korea, which is your Kia and Hyundai.

Yes. Uh, 12, 476. Uh, and then Germany with, uh, luxury cars, of course, uh, 3, 380. Wow, okay, the luxury cars are down there a little bit, aren’t they? Uh, look, it’s, it’s, it’s always, uh, it’s never going to be in that. That, uh, area of the more mainstream vehicles, not everybody has over a hundred thousand dollars to spend on a car.

No, that’s right, . That’s exactly right. Alright, the number to call to have your car valued for insurance, Centrelink trade, or just general sale? Double 5 2 0 8 8 8 8. If you’re over the border, put a zero seven in front of it. That’s zero seven double 5 2 0 double eight. Double eight. Alright. Where did we get to now?

Tesla. Tesla. Yeah, that’s, let’s talk about Tesla. Uh, uh, there’s 25, uh, California counties that have now, uh, they’re going to sue Tesla for, uh, mishandling of hazardous waste. Isn’t that ironic when we’re talking about, um, Tesla being something that could save the, save the planet, save the planet. Uh, but apparently they’ve been, uh, accused of, uh, Of disposing of, uh, paint materials, brake fluids, uh, used battery cells, and diesel fuel, would you believe?

So that must be for generators or something like that. Uh, but apparently these, uh, items have been illegally dumped. But it’s not just an isolated, uh, incident, it’s a, it’s at a hundred different Tesla facilities. Wow. So, uh, watch that space, that’ll be, that’s a, that’s a really big concern. Uh, another thing about, uh, uh, Tesla, uh, Toyota of Uh, outselling them incredibly with, uh, hybrids.

Uh, two to one, would you believe? Yeah, look, and that’s the interesting component. I mean, everybody dove on the Tesla bandwagon. Uh, it costs a lot to sit there and put the power bank into your house when you buy a Tesla. It’s a big investment. And then your power bill’s going to go up. Yes, your petrol bill’s going to go down.

The sums just don’t seem to work out for me. Good thought. The hybrid one does, and that’s just for the fact that, yeah, okay, I can splash some fuel in if I’m caught, and it’s not, nowhere near the, uh, the value that I was paying. It might be every fortnight that I, I, I fill up, dependent upon my travel. Yeah, right.

I think, uh, I think another concern that people have right now is affordability as well. Sure. To, there’s a new, uh, Kia, uh, EV9, which is your SUV. fairly large SUV, maybe the size of a, say a Toyota Prada or something like that. But your entry point into that car is 110, 000. Yes. Uh, and then the top of the range is, gets close to 150, 000.

The average person just doesn’t have that sort of, um, money. To splash around. To splash around on the car. And now that we’ve got an increase in interest rates and that sort of thing as well, uh, the cost of, for. Paying back something like that is just not something that people can afford. Agreed. Alright, we have our first caller.

So don’t forget, 55208888 is the number if you’d like your car valued by Adam live on air this morning. It’s a very good morning to Jim. Good morning Jim. Good morning Jim. Hi Adam, how are you doing? Very well thank you. How can I help you? Uh, just mate, I just wanna ask you a quick question. Sure. What do you think of the mg?

mg? Alright. All electric a Oh, the all electric? Yeah. Uh, so is it something you’re considering buying? I’ve got one and I just want. A little bit of input. Okay. Uh, look, I, I haven’t heard bad reports about the MG. Look, they’re certainly affordable. Uh, it’s the, when you’re getting into that, uh, into the electric car space, MG have done a pretty good job at putting a, a reasonably priced, uh, option out there.

Uh, I think another thing that has really attracted people to MG in general is the long warranty that they now come with. We all know that they’re, well most people know that they’re made in China, uh, but they’ve really had an increase in popularity, uh, now that they have that seven year warranty. Uh, so that’s really made a, made a big difference.

Yeah. I, I, how have you, have you had the car for long or? I’ve Four months. And I, I, I, I swear by it, I mean it’s, it’s, uh, great. Like, uh, I was spending any anywhere up to $150 a week in fuel, gee. Mm. And it’s, it’s worked out that it’s costing me, uh, with, with plugin of a night as, uh, about $50 a week. Gee, that’s pretty good.

Yeah. That’s great. So you must do a fair few kilometers, do you? Well, I did. Uh, I, uh, And they did get car of the year. I mean, that’s a great thing to drive. Yeah, yeah. I just think, again, I was just talking about how some of these electric vehicles are just out of reach for the average person. But again, I think MG have done a pretty good job at producing a product that people can afford to buy.

And then, when you’ve got those ongoing savings, like you just mentioned, then it makes a lot of sense. Well, you’ve got no services, you’ve got no, virtually nothing, it’s just Hmm. Hmm. How often do you have to have that, take that in for a, uh, a check? Every two years for a service. Every two years. Yeah, that’s right.

Hmm. That’s very interesting, isn’t it? Every two years, that’s, uh So it’s twelve months now for, for normal cars. They’ve, uh, stretched it out to twelve months, so it is a big saving there as well. Yeah. Anyway, thanks mate for that. for your input, Jim. Enjoy your chat and enjoy your new car. All right. I think we’ve got William on the line.

Good morning, William. Good morning, William. Good morning, Adam. I have a question for you. Certainly. If you have an electric car and it is the warranty is out of the battery. Is it done any value left? Oh, gee, uh, that’s an interesting question. Uh, so when you say it’s out of warranty, do you mean out of battery warranty as well?

Yeah, yeah, that’s what I mean. Not, not the car warranty, but because car warrants, cars go on for years and years and years, but electric cars without warranty on the battery after eight years, do they have any value left? Absolutely. I’ve no doubt about that because right now the cost to replace an electric battery, um, for a full electric car is over 30, 000.

So a lot of cars in, let’s say, 8 years time wouldn’t be worth that. 30, 000. I guess it’s, um, if you do a comparison, if you say looked at a, an eight year old, um, an eight year old vehicle of some sort and the engine failed, um, what would be the value of that car? And it wouldn’t be much. No. So that, that’s the big concern right now for a lot of people.

And it’s having an impact on resale value with electric vehicles. Um, once they get to it and we haven’t had enough of them yet. Um, reach a certain age to see what is going to happen. Um, but there is a lot of concern about resale values down the track because your normal internal combustion engines, they could be 10, 12, sometimes 15 years old, but there’s still value in the vehicle because you, you still have engine life left.

Um, but if your electric battery fails, the cost to replace really, um, cancels out the value of the car. Okay. That’s what I wanted to say. Thank you very much for this answer. Thank you, William. Thank you, William. 55208888 is the number if you’d like your car valued for resale, sale, um, and uh, insurance purposes and Centrelink purposes.

I think we’ve got a caller coming in very, very shortly and here he is. It’s a very good morning to David. Good morning, David. Ask your question of Adam. Good morning, David. Good morning, Adam. Yeah, I’ve got an evaluation on a 2013 Nissan Pulsar Ti, top of the range, with the electric sunroof. Pulsar Ti, uh, and it’s a sedan, is it, David?

Yes, sedan, yes. Sedan, uh, automatic, uh, and how many kilometres has it travelled? 53, 000. 53, gee, very low kilometers. Uh, I want to ask you one question. Have you ever had any issues with the transmission so far? No, never, nothing at all. Never, okay. I’ve heard people say about it, but mine’s as smooth as a That’s good.

I think, uh, the fact that you’ve only travelled 53, 000, uh, helps as well. Uh, but it is a, it is a very common problem with the Nissan Pulsar. Um, most of them fail at some point. Um, but, uh, I haven’t seen many with, uh, kilometres like yours that have failed. But generally up around the 80 to 100, 000, uh, they can, um, have a problem.

Uh, in terms of, would you like a private sale price as well as a trade in? Yes, thank you. All right. Uh, I think if you were to sell, uh, the car privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 12, 000 for it, uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’d be around the 9, 000 to 10, 000. Oh, that’s good. Good. Thank you.

All right. Appreciate it, David. Thank you, David. Appreciate your call. Bye bye. Thank you, David. 5520 888 is the number and we will have a word from our sponsors.

So, uh, double 5 2 0 8 8 8 8 is the number if you’d like your car valued this morning, live on air. And I was gonna ask you, Adam, just quickly, actually we’ve got some homework. Maybe we’ll do the homework first.

Might do that. We don’t wanna miss that one. Jerry’s been waiting a while. I hope you’re listening to Jerry. Uh. You called in last week with your Land Rover Defender, uh, the last of the, the steel body very, uh, uh, they’re very popular actually, because, uh, this new one is very, very different. Yes. Uh, they’re actually selling for far more than what they were, uh, new, uh, But I want to give a reasonable figure to you, Jerry, because some people are just asking ridiculous prices for them.

Uh, based on your description, yours had 50, 000 kilometers on it. I think around 80, 000 would be the right price to ask. And what would have been the price he paid for it when it was new? Uh, probably around 60, 000 for that one. I don’t think I’ve ever heard cars appreciate, but there’s one for you. No, no.

Because it’s incredible. Alright, we’ve got Rick on the line. Very good morning to you Rick. I’ll ask you a question of Adam. Good morning Rick. Good morning, Adam. I have a Mercedes, a hybrid Mercedes, uh, um, C350E, um, it’s only done thirty, thirty one thousand four hundred. Okay. And, um, it’s a 217 built and sold in 218.

Hmm, alright, 218. It’s iridium silver in colour. Silver, alright, and, and has it got the black, uh, black leather? Yes. Black leather, and does it have a, uh, sunroof, Rick? Yes, yes. Sunroof, alright. I wanted to ask you about that car, because they, they report very, um, quite incredible fuel economy. How do you go with fuel economy with the E3, the C350E?

It’s really good, very, very good indeed. In fact, I’m surprised how many miles I get. Could you give us an idea, Rick? Um, I’d be guessing, I really don’t know. That’s okay, that’s alright. No, I understand. Alright, so I think I’ll give you a private sale price as well as a trade. Uh, your kilometres are a lot lower than the average.

Uh, I think, uh, if you were to sell that one privately, uh, you should be expecting in the late 30s for it, uh, so around that 38 to 39, uh, and if you were to trade it in, it is going to be about 4, less than that. That’s amazing. Somebody told me, uh, It, it would be at least 45. I don’t think it’s there anymore.

I, I, I really don’t. I think, uh, there’s a lot of, um, I know there’s not as many C3 50 Es, but once you get to around that, that six to seven year age, it’s pretty hard to, to get somebody to pay in the middle 40 for something like that. Now, just my opinion though, . Alright. So what do you think it’ll be worth in the late thirties?

I think, uh, around that sort of 38 to 39. Okay. All right. Okay. Even though it’s immaculate and everything else, and 31, 000 keys, Yeah, you could try asking a little bit more, but I think that’s where it’s going to end, around that 38 to 39. Comes down to the buyer, Rick. You never know. Yeah, it does. All right.

All right. Thank you very much. Thank you. Bye bye. All right. We have John on the line. Good morning to you, John. Good morning, John. Okay. All right. Yes, good morning, Adam. How are you? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Right, I’ve got a Honda 2017 HR V, white, automatic, and it’s done 50, 000 kilometres. 50, 000?

Come up with the three values, please. Alright, so you want private sale, trade and a Centrelink appraisal? That’s correct. Alright. Uh, now, is it a VTI model, John? Oh, I’m not sure. Just the base model, so it doesn’t have leather trim or sunroof or anything like that? Oh, no. No, alright. Uh, I think, uh, for private sale for that one, I think you should be expecting around the 17.

Uh, I think as a trade value, you’d be around 15. Uh, and for Centrelink appraisal, I’d go another couple of thousand below that. Okay. Alright. All right, and I’ve just got one other question. Sure. All those figures you quote for the number of vehicles sold, are they Queensland wide or Australia wide? That’s Australia wide.

Australia wide. Yeah. Okay. All right. Okay. Thank you, John. I appreciate your call. Thank you. Thank you, John. All right. Last caller of the day. We have Foti. I think it’s Foti. Forgive me if I’ve mispronounced it. Good morning. Hello. Good morning mate, how are ya? Very well, thank you. How can I help you? Just regarding the last two cars I’ve um, bought, purchased.

The last car’s not too bad, but the uh, the Kia GT, I think it’s the 1. 6 litre turbo. Oh yeah? Yeah, it’s just um, I was talking about it being a pretty good car, but unfortunately, what do I have on it? I think about 6 7000k on it, and the gearbox started to go on it. Oh really? 2022 model year, and apparently they do have a lot of gearbox problems, and I was just wondering if anyone was out there that gave you a call that had the same drama.

Uh, you’re the first call about that, uh, because TIA I normally get really good reports back about, so, um, maybe put, we’ll put it out there to the listeners, if anyone else has had any issues, maybe give us a call and we can have a chat about it. Yeah, so, yeah, eventually I did trade that car in and I ended up buying, uh, bought a partner, the new, I think it’s called the M Project i30.

Ah, I see. Okay. Hmm. Well, that sounds like a good car. Very good car. Well, appreciate your call, Foddy. Alright buddy, no worries. Okay, enjoy your day. Thank you very much. Alright, we got a little fluster there towards the end, which was good. We were a little concerned early out, but we had some great information to impart.

So, Adam, thank you very much for your time again this morning. Thank you for having me. And Adam Hall can be heard on this program, 10 o’clock Tuesday mornings, ready to value your car for Adam.

Transcript

You’re listening to 4CRB’s Interviews and Talkback series. What’s Your Car Worth is sponsored by Hall Group Consultancy. Contact Adam Hall. It’s the new, easy way to sell your car. Yes, and a very good morning to you. We are here. And the man himself is sitting in front of me, as he should, as he does. And he does it every Tuesday.

Good morning, Adam. Good morning, Wayne. Thank you for joining us once again this morning. Thank you for having me back. Yes. Oh, we enjoy it too much. We wouldn’t miss our Tuesday. And if you’re joining us for the first time, this program is called What’s Your Car Worth? It’s a very simple formula. If you’re planning on selling your car, trade in or selling it privately, um, there is a great need for you with this fluctuating market that you’re trying to sell into or sell out of, um, that you get the right starting price and still continues, Adam, the, uh, the ups and downs of the marketplace still very fragile.

Particularly, uh, this part of the year, it’s really, uh, there’s been some big variations in pricing. And it continues, yes. So, you need to get the right price so that you’re not wasting your selling time by just sitting on a website somewhere. And, uh, Adam can give you a real time valuation on your motorcar, and all you’ve got to do is call 5520 8888.

In addition to that, I thought you were going to say something. No, I wasn’t. See, now this is this intuition we’ve built up over 40 years of radio. I was just intently listening to you. I thought I was getting a message through to me saying, will you shut up a minute while I tell you. Alright, sorry about that.

Look, if you’re wanting a revaluation on your motor car for insurance or Centrelink purposes, Adam can help you with that. That as well because it’s a different formula and it’s also a very important one in the fluctuating market prices going up and down in the marketplace. That filling out of that, uh, reinsurance valuation on the car That’s right.

Could be really outta date, couldn’t it? It is because they really lag behind by a fair bit. Yeah. So if you just. Just about to renew your insurance. It’s a good idea to definitely make sure you’re either adequately insured, but what I’ve been getting a lot of people that are overinsured. So their premiums are a lot higher.

You’re paying more and significant too. That’s right. So keep that one in mind as well. And the final one. And then I’ll stop talking. The final one is if you want to downsize the Big Beast. If it’s time. The time has come. Okay, downsizing the Big Beast, you need to find out what it’s costing you by sitting in the garage as well to give you the encouragement to put it on the market.

Alright, 5520 888 is the number for you to join us this morning here on What’s Your Car Worth? Adam, do you want to do the, uh, homework for this week first? We should do that. Um, uh, Graeme phoned in last week and he was phoning on behalf of a friend, uh, and he had a pretty rare car, the Ford TS 50, which was a pretty rare performance car of the day.

Yes. Um, it was a 2001 model, I believe, or 2001 or 2. Uh, the They were built in limited numbers. Uh, it was pretty difficult to find some pricing on it, but there was one that was sold, uh, about two years ago where I think the market was a bit stronger then. It had more kilometers on it, but that one sold for 35, 000.

So I think around that 35, 000 mark would be the right price, uh, Graeme, so I hope you’re listening in. Otherwise I’ll talk to you another time. Okay, Graham, I hope you, that helped you out, Graham, and as Adam said, if you missed it, um, you can contact him directly as well. Alright, we’ve got a couple of more calls at the, at this stage, and it’s good morning to Paul.

Paul, go ahead, what’s your car? Good morning, Paul. Yeah, good morning. How are you, mate, alright? Well, yeah, we’re doing, we’re doing alright. How about you? Yeah, pretty good, Good on you, mate. Go ahead, what’s the car you want to check with Adam? What I’ve got is a November 15, current shape Hilux, it’s the first of the current shape.

Okay. It’s a workmate, automatic, uh, long tray tow bar. I’ve only used it for private use, and it’ll be about a 9 out of 10. 9 out of 10, alright. And is it white? Yes, it’s white. That was a pretty easy guess because most of them are. Yeah, and it’s done, um, 77, 000. Oh, okay, the kilometers are pretty low. Alright, so it’s got the 2550 tray on it, the longer tray.

That’s correct. Alright, and are you wanting a private sale figure as well as a trade? Well, what I’d like, Adam, I’d like to know a private sale and maybe a wholesale price that you might be interested in. Alright. Alright. Uh, I think as a, a private sale, uh, so we’re getting on to close to nine years old now.

Uh, I think as a private sale, it’s going to be in that sort of 17 to 18 sort of range. Uh, and as a, as a wholesale value, it’s going to be more in the middle, middle teens, so around that 15 mark. Mate, you’re a genius, more than I thought I was. Oh, good. All right. Thank you, Paul. I’ve got your number. Yeah, give me a call.

Graeme. I’ll give you a call because the car is exactly as I said it is. Okay, great. All right, well, I’ll talk to you. It’s got a log book. I forgot to tell you, it’s got the log book, so I bought it brand new. Okay, great. All right, well, I’ll talk to you soon. Thank you, Adam. Thank you, Paul. Okay, Paul. Cheers now, bye.

Bye, mate. Bye. Okay, Patricia, go ahead. What’s your car? Good morning, Patricia. Morning. Um, I’ve got a, um, a 2011 Nissan X Trail. It’s a T31 Series 4 wagon, 5 door. 5 door, uh huh. 4×4, 2. 5 litre auto. 2. 5, alright. Okay, the colour’s silver. Silver. It’s done 165, 472 kilometres. You’ve got a very accurate description here.

It’s very good. Yeah, and I’ve been listening to your series of stories. Um, and also it’s got um, extras like roof rack, side steps, tow bar, um, the privacy cover in the boot. Um, it’s been regularly serviced, and um, it has new tyres on at the moment. Alright, and it’s automatic is it? It’s automatic, yeah.

Alright, now is it the 4 wheel drive or a 2 wheel drive one? It’s a four, a four wheel drive. Four wheel drive, alright, great. Alright, so 2. 5 litre, 2011. Uh, it sounds like it’s in pretty good order as well. Yes it is. Just a little bump in the front and, uh, I think a dent in the back. Okay, now would you like a private sale value as well as a Yes please, private sale would be great.

Alright, private sale, uh, with 165 on it. I think, uh, I think you should be asking around the 10, 000 mark for it. Lovely, appreciate that. Thank you Patricia, enjoy your day. have a good day. Bye bye. Alright, we’ve got Kay on the line. Good morning Kay. Good morning. Ah, good morning. How can I help you? I’ve got two cars, I just wanted to get a price on it, if that’s ok?

Certainly, what have you got there? I’ve got um, one Honda CRV, which is 2010 model, with sunroof, and um, 180,000 kilometers. Hundred 80. All right. Uh, now, so it it’s a, it’s a sport model, is it? Yes, it’s, yes. Alright. The sport and it’s automatic. Yes. And what color is it? Kay. It’s sort of like a bronzy color. Ah, no, the color.

That’s sort of bronze. Like the bronze. Is that what you Yeah, that’s right. That’s right. Uh, so 180 on it. And how’s the condition? Is it pretty well looked after? Yes. It’s looked after. It’s being serviced regularly because Honda loves servicing. Yeah. I understand. They do, don’t they? They do. They love this.

Now would you like a, would you like a private sale value as well as a trade? Yes, thank you. All right. Uh, I think, uh, to sell privately, uh, uh, you should be expecting around the, uh, around the eight to eight and a half thousand for it. Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’d be about two to two and a half less than that.

Now, and what’s the second car that you’ve got? The second car is a Honda CRV as well, if you like the Hondas. Yeah. And, um, it’s a silver limited, I think, with leather. And it’s 2014. 2014, alright, so it’s a VTI L. Um, yes. Alright, now is that two, is that two wheel drive or the four wheel drive? The all wheel drive.

All wheel drive, yeah. And how many kilometres has that travelled? That one’s 182. 182, alright. Okay, so, uh, so similar kilometers but a later model. Alright, uh, It’s got heated seats, it’s got all the extras. Yeah, they’re pretty well equipped, those. Uh, I think as a private sale, um, for that one, uh, you should be expecting around the 13, 000 to 14, 000.

And, and once again, it’s going to be about 2, 000 to 3, 000 less than that as a trade. Okay, well very much, I appreciate that. You’re welcome, Kay. Have a nice day. Same to you. Bye. Bye bye. Yeah, it’s a very busy line on that one. It certainly was. You’re doing well, doing well to keep up. Alright, well all our lines are now free, 5520 8888, it’s about our midway point in the program, so why don’t you get on now, you can get directly on to Adam Hall to give you a real time valuation.

on your motor car, double five two zero double eight double eight is the number. Okay, Adam, um, get back to the, the list again. We’d better get this, this, uh, cheap, this cheap Ferrari out, out of the way. Yes, we’ve been going to talk about this for the last couple of weeks. Uh, there was a 19 Ferrari 250 GT Coupe, which has got, uh, actually had race history as well, which adds a bit more value to it, but it was going to auction in Paris and the expected, uh, sale price was to be above 15 million, but it ended up getting well above that.

Uh, it sold at the end of last month. Would you believe for 19. 689 million dollars. Some people have just got too much money. But I think you would look at that in maybe 15 or 20 years time and it might be double that again. So there’s a, there’s a prediction, it is a big prediction, but you’re right, it could in fact, that’s why people are paying the big money because the expectation on an increase in investment.

It’s amazing. Okay. It’s a good morning to Graham. Graham, what’s your vehicle? Good morning, Yes, Graham. I think I, I fell through the cracks with that TS 50. Oh, yeah. Hi, Graham. How are you? I, uh I’m good. You didn’t, uh, hear what I had to say there? No, I didn’t. I’m very sorry. That’s okay. All right. So, I did a bit of homework on this one.

It was pretty hard to find some actual sales, um, but I did. I found, I found one that sold back in, um, 2021 at auction, uh, and it sold for 35, 000. Right. So, it’s a TS 50. It has slightly more kilometers, uh, but I think it’s, Because the market has come back a bit. I think that’s probably about the number around that 35 Based on the right.

Was that a phase three ts50? There were three phases one two and three Yeah, it was a it was a three. So the end. Oh, okay. Yeah, so it was the end. Yeah Definitely. That’s a good indicator. Thank you very much for your help. You’re welcome. Thank you graham Bye bye All right. We’ve got uh, jeff on the line. Good morning, jeff Uh, good morning.

Um Adam, um, a similar one to, uh, earlier with the X Trail. Mine’s a 2012 model, T31. It’s the TL, a 2 litre turbo diesel, 6 speed auto, and it’s twilight colour, and it’s done, um, let me have a look, it’s done, uh, 227, 000. 227, okay. Hmm. Are you there? Are you still there? Jeff? You there Jeff? Ah, sorry. Although I lo I lost you for a minute there.

Yeah, sorry. I, I, I’m sitting in the car and I turned it on to uh, check the Speedo and they dropped out of ah, see. Alright, Bluetooth. Alright, I’ll just, um, I’ll just repeat what you, the information you gave me. So it’s a 2012 Nissan and Xra tl. So it’s the diesel, it’s automatic. Yep. Uh, and it’s got 227,000 on it.

Yeah, four by four. Four by four. All right. And has it got any extras on it? Uh, tow bar and roof racks. Tow bar and roof racks. Okay. All right. Now the kilometers will affect this one, uh, a bit because once you get over that 200 markets becomes a little bit more difficult. Uh, I think as a private sale value, uh, you’d be looking at around that eight.

Uh, and as a trade value, it’s going to be about two to two and a half less than that. Okay, down around the five and a half or six, something like that. That’s right, that’s correct. I was interested in the earlier comment about the insurance. My insurance cover on this car says it’s insured for 17, 000. Oh, gee, yeah.

What should I do with that? Get onto them and drop that down. Drop it down, drop it down because you’d be really, um, it’s over insured. So, um, your premium would be so much higher based on that. So, uh, yeah, I would be dropping it. You’ve got to, uh, when you’re doing insurance, you’ve just got to. It’s remembering that there’s still stamp duty to pay and there’s a lot of transfer costs, so you want to be more than what you would have to pay, um, so you can allow for those costs and even things like registration and that, but, uh, but yeah, it’s definitely well above what it should be.

Okay, and of course, if I had a claim on that, they would only pay me market value, I guess, would they? Uh, well, if, if it’s saying that you’re insured for 17, 000, um, from my understanding, that’s, that’s what you’ll get. That’s, but just remembering that, um, that you’d be paying a much higher premium for that.

I am, yeah. Hmm, alright. All right. I appreciate that. Thank you for your help. You’re welcome. Thank you, Jeff. Bye. Yeah. Thank you for your call, Jeff. And that’s an interesting aspect of our program that we haven’t spoken about for a while, that insurance cover and rising costs, premiums you’re paying. They’re going through the roof and maybe it’s time to have a check on your motor car.

That’s right. Okay. All our lines are free. How about yours? I think you’d better get it into action because we can talk to you straight away. You could get directly onto Adam Hall by calling 552088. double eight right now and, uh, the time is, hmm, it’s, uh, twenty two minutes past ten so not much time left for you to do that today.

And you’re with What’s Your Car Worth right now, and Adam Hall is waiting for your call on 5520 888. Adam, this is an interesting, um, uh, comment you were going to make, I think, uh, last week. We didn’t get a chance to do it, but the road toll stats, uh, when you pitch them against the, the safety of cars, there seems to be a little, uh, Question mark there.

Well it is because every year when a new car is released there’s generally more safety features available on those models and even as time goes on even the standard models end up with safety features that were generally available in a more expensive. Exactly. range of car, uh, but the Australian road death toll isn’t telling us that, uh, that it’s not much more safe on our roads because last year the death toll increased by 7%.

Would you believe there was 1, 266 road related deaths, which is about 5 deaths per 100, 000 Australians. So it’s a pretty sobering statistic. So it’s sort of a wonder of what, is it the way we drive? Is it that there’s more people on our roads now? It’s just a, uh, it’s a It’s a statistic that I would have thought would start, would have started to go down.

And is that just for vehicle, for car registrations? Is that just for cars, not motorcycles? Is it, or is it a mixed fit? No, that’s everything. That’s, that is everything. That’s, that’s road related deaths. Road related deaths. Okay. All right. I guess it’s a, it’s a question mark. It certainly is. Isn’t it? Okay.

We’ve got a couple of callers there. Adam? There we go, Tony on the line. Good morning, Tony. Hey, good day. Uh, I got a Toyota Hilux 2018, 90, 000 Ks. It’s got a smart canopy, it’s got bull bar, tow bar, flashlights, and uh Snorkel. Got so much extras. What’s that pre word? Uh, alright, so it’s a 2018. Now, in 2018, Tony, there was a new shape that came out in the middle of the year.

Is yours the update shape? Yes. It is? Alright. Uh, Yep. It’s a silver, black, mag wheels, beautiful, beautiful car. And how many kilometers has it traveled? 90, 000. 90, 000, alright, 90, 000. It’s got a lot of extras on it, alright. Uh, and you’re wanting a pro It’s the top of the range, it’s the SR SR5? What do you call that?

The SR5? Yes. Alright, and is it, does it have the, the leather trim as well? Yes, leather, black leather. Alright. Alright, and would you like a private sale figure as well as a trade? Private and trade, please. Alright. I think, uh, if you were to sell it privately, uh, you should be expecting around the 50, 000 mark for it.

Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’s probably going to be about 4, 000 less than that. Okay, thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Tony. Alright, we’ve got Brian on the line. Good morning, Brian. Yeah, good morning, um, I got a Toyota Kluger 2009, a white one, uh, 164, 000, sunroof, turbo. Alright, so it’s a 2009, so given that it’s got a sunroof, is it the Grande model, Brian?

Yes it is. Grande, so it’s got leather trim and all that as well. Uh, now is it the all wheel drive or the, uh, two wheel drive? Uh, all, all wheel drive. All wheel drive, alright. Well the kilometres are certainly low for the age. Um, would you like private and trade value? Yes, if I could, thanks. Alright, uh, I think if you were to sell it, uh, privately, uh, you should be expecting around the, uh, 11, 000 to 12, 000 for it.

Uh, and if you were to trade it in, it’ll be about 3, 000 less than that. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Well, thank you very much for that. You’re welcome. Thank you for your call. Alright, we’ve got Jerry on the line. Good morning, Jerry. Good morning. How can I help you, Jerry? Uh, can you do two vehicles? Certainly. What have you got there?

Okay, 19, uh, 1993, sorry, 1995 Volvo 960 automatic sedan with the sunroof and all the extras in immaculate condition. It’s got 150, 000 on the clock. It’s automatic. Okay, alright. That’s a bit of a tough one for me. I haven’t seen one of those for a long time. Uh, uh, and this is just a rough estimate. I think if you found the right, and it’s a matter of trying to find the right person to buy it, probably in that sort of 3, 000 to 4, 000 range, if it’s immaculate.

Right, okay. What’s the second one you’ve got? Uh, 2016 Land Rover Defender, the last one they made, before the new shape, 2. 2 turbo diesel, 6 speed manual, 7 seater wagon, and it’s only got 50, 000 on the clock. Have you called me, have you called me about this one before? No, no. No, you haven’t? Okay. Alright. I think somebody, and sorry, how many kilometres has it travelled?

Uh, 50, 000 km. 50, 000. Alright. Full of service history. Mm. Alright. You’ve definitely given me some tough ones there. Um, with a Defender. I’m sorry. No, that’s okay. What am I do with a Defender? I just want to check. Uh, so I’ll give you an accurate figure. Uh, I’ll check it up this week and I’ll let you know on next week’s program what I think it’s worth.

Okay, I don’t, I don’t think you can go anymore by the market because, uh, you know, people are asking double what they sold for in 2016 and I doubt if they’d sell them for that. No, they don’t. They don’t. No. I don’t look at that sort of data. I look at sales data, what, what things have actually sold for. All right.

But I’ll let you know on next week’s program what I think. Thank you. Appreciate your time. Have a good day. Thank you, Gerry. Alright, we’ve got Frank on the line. Good morning Frank. Yeah, good morning. Look, I’ve phoned before. I’ve got a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Aspire 2014. And, um, I’m just interested in the insurance value now.

It’s 150, 000 on the clock now. It’s got 150, 000, is that right? 130. 130, alright. I think the first time I spoke to you it had about 80, 000 on it, was that right? That’s exactly right. Yeah. I’m in Uber, using it as an Uber. Ah, I see. Alright. For a while now. Alright. Look, I think for a And it was Yeah, you there?

Sorry, go ahead. I think for insurance value, I remember you paid about 25, 000 for it back then, somewhere around there. That’s exactly right. That’s exactly right. That was pretty, um Pre COVID and the values went up to a couple of thousand more than that. Yeah, that’s right. And they dropped quite quickly.

That’s right, yeah. I think for insurance purposes, um, you should, um, be at least around that 18 to 19, because you’ve got to be able to replace it. Yeah. Alright. Oh, okay. Eighteen, nineteen. And what, what is, what would it be valued at now, uh, these days? I know that they’ve dropped a lot. Yeah, probably in the middle teens.

So around that, around that fifteen mark, I think is, is going to be what it’s worth. Right. Okay. Alright. Okay. Thank you very much. You’re welcome. Thank you, Frank. Cheers. Alright, we’ve got Joy on the line. Good morning, Joy. Ah, hi, Adam. Um, I’m just wanting an opinion, please, if you don’t mind. Certainly. Um, a Lexus, uh, NX350H, um, two wheel drive.

I’m just wondering about your thoughts on it. They’ve already had an, uh, uh, increase in price in January, and there’s talk of an increase in price in August. Is that normal? Uh, it is a little bit with these hybrids at the moment. They just keep, um, so have you, uh, ordered one, have you? Um, we were thinking of it, yes.

Right, okay. The, the, the issue at the moment is that Toyota and Lexus, they’re not holding, so if you order a car, um, uh, then they won’t hold the price. Uh, so you just But, uh, it isn’t normal that they keep Um, raising prices, um, but I don’t, I don’t think there’s going to be really big increases going forward now because I think a lot of those, um, sort of inflationary pressures are sort of easing a bit now, uh, so I, I just don’t think that if there was a price rise, I don’t think it’ll be, uh, it’ll be a big one.

Very high. Hmm. Hmm. Well, that’d be good. So what do you think of it as a car? Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Me too. You can’t go wrong. Me too. They’re a great car. I know several people that have bought them and they say that they’re the best car they’ve ever owned. Ah, well that’s a good recommendation.

Alright. Thank you very much Adam. You’re welcome. Thank you Joy. Bye. Bye. Good morning Sharon. Oh, good morning. How can I help you Sharon? Um, we’ve got a 2004 Storm Z6U. V acute in the storm. Alright. And it’s a, so it’s a V six. And how many kilometers has it traveled? 65,000. Oh dear. 65 . That’s incredible. Got, it’s got leather upholstery.

Mm Uh, it’s got a rubber of liner in the tray. Mm-Hmm. A fairly new tarp. Yeah. Not new. Probably three, four years old. Um, yeah, it’s in really good condition. Look, the average one of these is probably worth 4, 000 or 5, 000, but this, because it’s got 65, 000 kilometres, puts it in a totally different league. Uh, I would think for a collector, um, that would be, uh, as a private sale, in that sort of 12, 000 to 14, 000 range.

Oh, that’s good. Alright. I drive it. Thing out for me. . Yeah. It’s, it’s a matter of finding the right buyer. And I know that’s a high figure, but, uh, somewhere around that is would be the asking price. I think. So how, how do you sell a though a collective’s item Auction is the best place is to put it to like a, a grays auction or something like that.

’cause then you get a national audience. Do you know if alternatively on the Gold Coast is there? Uh, yes, Lloyd’s Auctions is the other one. Uh, they’re at Carrara, so you could contact them as well. Alright. So if you just put it on the internet, you don’t think that would work? Oh, definitely worth a try, definitely.

Yeah, because it still gets a national audience. But auction, um, they normally do pretty well. All right. Okay. Thank you, Sharon. Appreciate your call. We’ve got one last call. We’ve got Lindsay on the line. Good morning, Lindsay. Good morning. How can I help you? I’ve got a two, one price please for Centrelink.

Uh, 2002, three liter Nissan turbo diesel, 270, 000 270. All right. Uh, and patrol Alright, uh, for Centrelink I think, uh, you should be putting down around the 8, 000 mark on that one. Right. And you’ve got one more. One 2013 Mission X Trail, 70, 000 Ks. 70, uh, and it’s just the, uh, ST model is it? Yes, yes. Alright, I think for Centrelink for that one, uh, you should put down the value at around 10, 000.

Lovely. Thanks very much, Adam. You’re welcome. Andy. Bye bye. All right. Thank you. Thank you for that. Well done. Uh, another show, uh, rushed into the end there. Uh, it’s amazing.
