I am interested in selling my Kia Sportage 2 CDRI ISG (1.7 Diesel).
Expiration date: May 30, 2025
ODOMETER READING: 72,000
REG: Omitted for security purposes
I purchased this vehicle in a private transaction for a total of £5,500, with an additional value of £2,000 for the part exchange. During a recent visit to my local garage for a pre-long-distance trip inspection, my mechanic thoroughly examined the car and identified several issues. Although he confirmed that the car is running adequately, he strongly advises installing a turbocharger and intercooler, along with the necessary pipe work. Additionally, he recommends a power cleaning for the intake and diesel particulate filter (DPF), as well as a comprehensive servicing. The automobile experiences coolant loss and the underside of the engine is coated with oil.
Subsequent background investigation reveals that the automobile is categorised as 'Salvage' due to its prior sale via a Copart Auction, where it was sold with a technical problem.
My spouse has now declined to drive the automobile, thus I must sell it. However, I am uncertain about the car's value considering its current faults and the presence of a 'Salvage' label.
I would much appreciate any suggestions.

If you have any uncertainties about the problems, I can suggest someone in London to assist you. Once you have resolved these concerns and are considering selling the vehicle via platforms like "we buy any car," let me know. I recommend use the highway since it provided superior value. I can provide you with my referral code, which will entitle you to a discount.

Greetings, I appreciate your response.
My place of residence is located in North Wales.
Motorway will not accept automobiles with defects, and I want to be transparent about the difficulties that the next owner will need to address. Kindly provide your recommendation regardless of whether they take my automobile or not.

I have sent the reference to you over direct message. If you are interested in obtaining the technical specifications, please inform me. His location is in West London.
By the way, did your technician provide any more information on the necessary repairs for the car? Given the multitude of problems, I am unclear as to why he would assert that the automobile is in satisfactory condition. Could you provide me with the specifics of the copart auction? Perhaps it would be more advantageous to update your main article with the information as we go, in order to prevent it from being overlooked in the subsequent comments.

Using P/X might perhaps be the most optimal approach.

Thank you for responding. I have contemplated the possibility of a part-exchange, but I am uncertain about the appropriate asking price. Additionally, I am committed to being transparent about the car's faults, including the presence of a 'Salvage' label.

Recently, I have noticed that many garages prefer to get the vehicle's registration number and retrieve its value from there.
