The title isnt quite right - the back story is a bit more complicated that one line allows, so we borrowed an Elgrand a while ago and loved it, so I imported one from Hokkaido, but it took nearly 6 months to land in the UK (was expecting 8 weeks - 12 max), by which time we were in desperate need for a 'family people mover' - so we bout one from a UK dealer in JDM cars. Anyway, we love our Elgrand, but we now have a *spare*... Not the worst problem to have admittedly, but having 2 Elgrands is a bit excessive. Annoyingly the newly arrived one is a bit nicer than our family Elgrand, but we've done stuff to our daily family Elgrand that we like (and our boys and dog have left their marks on it, so they're not allowed in the *spare* Elgrand).

Can't really keep it - but not really sure what to sell it for - its a 2005 2.5L silver 2WD Rider Autech with cloth seats, mini disk + DVD + integrated Reversing Camera and parking camera and 2 electric sliding doors and double sunroof - mileage is low at about 25K miles, and there are no marks on it, and no modifications of any kind.

What should I be asking for it, do you think? Where's the best place to advertise - eBay / AutoTrader / Facebook Marketplace?

I think you should ask for what it owes you.

That is probably more than it is worth. Importing at the minute is horrendous to try and turn profit

Not sure if still true today but there used to be plenty buyers prepared to pay a premium for a freshly imported Elgrand...

Is it UK mot'd, registered, if not registered has the NOVA been done.

What was the auction grade and have you a copy of this or carvx for it.

Is it as it came off the boat or have you done any prep to it, cats. underseal etc.
 
FB Marketplace seems to have more than its fair share of tyre kickers/knuckledraggers. I would try Motors.co.uk although it has changed hands and currently has a not insignificant 280 Elgrands on it. I notice that two local general used car dealers had one for only a short time (but they haven't sold any more).
