Guest ReVolt Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 No mate do go in and offer him £6k for it for a laff if you are local. When he starts giving it big gob remind him that he bought it for just over £6k lol. The thought had crossed my mind! I was thinking of a straight swap Yeah he is only about 3 or 4 miles from me....

Guest kennyf Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 One of pals and myself were talking about selling cars in general and he hit the nail on the head. It seems that if you drive a car worth a couple of grand it'll sell relatively easy but I think once your talking cira the 10k mark it becomes ten times harder. People just want soo much for there buck. I had one guy travel about 150mls to see my car and said no because the front end had a few stone chips (which I told him about) bearing in mind it is a 4yr old car. I think todays buyer wants a car in as new condition for 2nd hand prices and even then they normally start off by asking " whats the lowest you'd take?" Well hope you get it sold soon mate as it is a stunning car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 ... and even then they normally start off by asking " whats the lowest you'd take?" WTF is that all about? Like you'd turn around and give them a number. He asks for the lowest, you give it, and that magically becomes the highest offer he'll make! Him: "What's the lowest you'd take?" Me: "A million pounds" Him: "Hmm, seems a bit dear to me..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 DB so u know, insurance was no go....

Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Nope.... the reason being im with Tesco, in a nut shell this is story i got. You are currently only still insured with us on your current car coz we honour current customers. But our new policy is to not insure under 25's on a car like this. Hence why i can renew, coz im a current customer before that policy came in I wish she had told me this before i started reeling off half the mods!! £45 for the interior alone ...what!!! not even performance related!!

Whitesupraboy2 Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 FFS they are having a laff. Worst thing is the premium is the same for both the N/A and the TT with tescos only thing i can say is i have checked and have read it on here before they have changed there policy to over 25....so 10 out of 10 for renewing me cheap at least!! I now know im gonna have to change policy when i come to upgrade. Somethings just meant to be others are not I think the right decision for you to do, is flog bits off it and sell not as standard but perhaps just BPU.

toyotasuprauk Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 There could be many reasons its not selling. Paul Whiffin said he had a silver aerotop for eight months without any interest. I don't know if he's sold it yet but it was up for £10K. As wsb2 said when he started reading the list of mods to his insurance company they wouldn't even insure him. That could well be the same situation for many people? Maybe people don't like the seats, the bonnet who knows? Its a pretty small market for someone that wants a car exactly like this one and be willing to pay £14K for it and that's why it can take so much time. I wish I could offer some advise to sell it quicker but taking all the bits off really seems the best option its just a shame to do it. But with the market the way it is I think I'll put my car up for sale about 3 months before I want to let it go! Good luck anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Selling a car can be very hard work which is why so many people end up taking stupid offers from traders. But hang in there for a bit longer and hopefully you'll get a sale at a price your happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted September 8, 2005 Author Share Posted September 8, 2005 OK this is still on ebay at £14k. I'll accept an offer of £13k from a board member as the car stands which is an out and out bargain as the brand new brakes, tyres and service add up to £1700 that was done a month ago. http://showoffyourcar.com/cars/TOYOTA/12338.jpg http://showoffyourcar.com/cars/TOYOTA/12339.jpg http://showoffyourcar.com/cars/TOYOTA/12349.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
