I love my hippo to bits, but theres now a strong likelyhood Ill be moving to London to go to university. Being a poor student in London of all places I wont have anywhere to keep her let alone pay for running costs. Im planning on getting a little 125cc motorbike again as Ill need my own transport to get to placements (training as a paramedic 
) but a big ol 4x4 isnt a viable option, Ill spend more time sat in traffic than anything else and charged a billion pounds every time I go near the congestion charge zone.
I was considering SORNing her and keeping her til I graduate but Ive got nowhere to store her. Which leaves me with the only real option I can see being to sell her, I dont particularly want to but cant see any other option.
So I was wondering whats it really worth? Looking on Autotrader and eBay for a general guide of prices they seem to vary wildly from about £800-5000. And what should I do to get the most money possible out of her? (without suggesting petrol and matches )
Mine's a 5dr 2003 FL1 K series 1.8 serengheti, 61k miles, 1 previous owner, full service history, comes with all the modcons, electric everything, power everything, aircon, HDC, new alloys, 5 new tyres, CB radio setup, immaculate bodywork, LR rubber mats & boot liner, leaky boot cubby hole fixed (well, sorta) and 10 months MOT.
What would be a fair price to expect, and what can I do to maximise the value?
