Hello all - first time poster!

I am interested in getting this Jazz from a main dealer - a Crown Honda:Honda Jazz 1.4i-DSI ( sr ) CVT-7 SE - automatic.

It was registered 1/3/08 - so 5 years old.

Ticket price is £7,495,but after haggling, it will be £6872 plus a service, year's warranty and MOT. Mileage is £29,000.

what does anybody think - is this a very high price or is it average and worth it from a main dealer?

Thank you very much

You have posted this in the GE section of the Jazz forums, but at that date, if it really is a CVT, it must be the older GD model. The GE range didn't have CVT until 2011. The other possiblity is that you are looking at an i-shift automatic GE, not a CVT. If you like the i-Shift fine, I couldn't stand it.

Assuming it is a GD CVT, my initial reaction is that that the price is too high, even allowing for Main Dealer etc.

I bought a 58 plate Jazz GD 1.4 CVT7 first reg 01/09/2008, mileage 29,000, last July from a Honda Main Dealer with Honda warranty for one year, service and MOT. I paid £6,945 which I thought was at the upper extreme.

So, eight months later than me you are paying only a little less than me for a six month older copy of the same car.

This model is not rare so I think you should be able to do better.

Only caveat to what I have said is that I am not sure what a "Crown" Honda is (dealer's name?), and that mine is an SE spec. I think you are saying yours in an SR spec, which isn't mentioned in the brochure I have. Maybe SR spec is worth a lot more? EDIT I see yours is an SE as well.

You might want to try and repost in the GD section, or maybe the mods will do it for you.

FWIW the Jazz I am talking about above is my wife's....I have a Jazz GE which I like a LOT more!

Sounds like an SE with the optional electric sunroof ('SR'). Parkers website list models with the sunroof as an individual model so presumably they are worth more than without. I think it was about £400 extra and I doubt it will retain that much second hand.

So did you buy it?
We bought our 57 plate jazz sport se with 36k on the clock for £5,400 which included a service, mot and 6 month warranty. That was an independent dealer and car is immaculate. I'd suggest you don't part with more than £6k for this car.
