What is this SEAT Alhambra worth?
I have seen a 7-seater SEAT Alhambra. I would like to know what is the face value of the car and how much should I offer if I am interested in the purchase? It has three previous owners. The CD player doesn’t work. Is it worth buying a T registration plate? If there is anything else I should look out for mechanics-wise?

Depends on the engine. A 99T 1.9D with 94,000 miles trades at £825. A 99T 1.8T with 94,000 miles trades at £775. A 99T 2.0i with 94,000 miles trades at £750. But, of course, it's likely to have done a lot more miles than that, possibly as a taxi, and could be a basket case just waiting to die on a hard shoulder somewhere.

True seven-seater with more cheerful trim than its VW Sharan and Ford Galaxy equivalents. Good car-like drive.
