selling your car!

[Hanuman]

why is it such a fknnnn nightmare,

im selling mine which you would be hardpushed to find a better cond one with low miles and price ect,

anyhow had someone ring about 45mins drive away said they would come down today as her son had wrote his off so wanted another vtr, i said call me when you set off so i know your coming but ill pop out of work anyways,

i go home early wait for them,,,, nothing, all the sudden an older women and man around 50s are walking around the car i get up thinking well are they gonna knock or ring me.... nothing they get in the car drive off

pished me off sooooo much theres only 1 lil scratch on the door so theres nothing or reason that would justify driving all that way to walk around it for 2 mins then drive off. if they wernt happy with something (cant see what) then you ask about it and ask for money off what a waste of my time and there own time fkn nob heads rant over

p.s why do people think the forsale price automatically means you will get at least %20 off. when i buy a car i try my luck to get it cheaper but if i want it ill pay the price not go in with no intention of ever wanting to pay the price (unless i tell them that on the phone)

Its called 'dealing' and thats why car dealers are sneaky fucking russians with hearts of steel.

I hate it.

[MikeCracknell]

Sold mine in no-time.....and got the minimum I wanted for her too ;)

Guess its luck!

The problem I had selling the Punto was unreal!

[Hanuman]

i cant stand the stresss of selling a car, people calling with no intention of turning up (dont FKN ACT LIKE YOU WILL)

people wanting 50% off
people claiming there is things wrong with it,

cant wait for the next nob head to try something daft tbh

Haha last car I sold was my old VTR. I never even met the buyer!! I put it in the Autotrader and he rang the next day wanting to see it. I was at work so my mam dealt with that. Then He rang me telling me it was the best he'd seen and he'd been to see 6! Offered me £100 under the asking price. I accepted he paid and took the car. My mam dealt with the whole lot haha.

I liked buying my car, 200 mile trip to woking on the train to see it. Saw it, came..... twice.

Handed over the cash and took it.

[vtr_driver]

Buying cars is my favourite thing ever!! Its that excited butterfly feeling you get when you know you've but a hunk o junk!! Ahhh....*checks overdraft and hits ebay*

[Quick]

Tis why you list a car at more than you'd want for, so if they haggle, they feel like they are getting a bargain!!

[devilsadvocate]

Just looked at the advert for your car mate and it seems like a good price. Cant see why its so hard to sell. Modified cars are generaly harder to sell as people think they have been ragged but yours is standard so tis a bit wierd.

Someone will buy it in the end but may take some time. If you need to get rid of it asap then you may want to bite the bullet and drop the price unfortunately.

[Hanuman]

well im willing to let it go its on autotrader for 1490. id be willing to take 1300-1350 get enough calls i know that it will sell if the right person wanting to buy a decent one turns up

Tis a minter, i remember when rob passed his test. He loved that car.

Is a bit of hasstle matey but when you sell it it will be worth it :)

i sold my furio in a week, pretty hard finding the right place to advertise which is best i just put it in loads of papers and websites.

[vtrchris64]

I had about 5 people in all ringing up to say their coming to look at my car, finished work early a few times aswell to find they didnt bother turning up.
Soooo fcuking annoying!

[b0t13]

will be selling my car in next few weeks for the first time, sounds like louds of fun!!

[Raz]

i had trouble selling my old white 1.1 saxo....sold it in the end though

i can imagine that situation Hanuman would be very annoying....especially if they travel 45mins to look at the car for 10 mins

some people are just strange

[Ross-1987]

[T1NK3RB3LL]

my dads always seemed to have more trouble buying cars than selling them

[Graeme]

this is why i would only trade my cars in tbh i know you get less but theres no hassel

[T1NK3RB3LL]

my dad waits till the cars pretty much f*cked to get a new one so trading it in...just dont seem to happen lol

[Raz]

trade in seems to be a very good idea tbf lol

seeing as alot of people do it....my dad has done it in the past aswell :y:

[Ross-1987]

well glad i sold my last car privately, because if i traded it in he would have given me a pound and traded it to the scrappy

[T1NK3RB3LL]

im sure it is lol but like i said my dads never done it...dont know why, that was the only reason i could think of tbh

[MARTYN19588]

took me 3 days to sell my old car. was better than 500£ trade in i was offered. not lookin forward to selling the new one tho :panic:

[Hanuman]

SOLD! within 2 days of advertising, 2 timewaster phone calls, 1 timewaster i mentioned the old stupid ass people.

guy came round for his son he took a look at it under the bonnet under hte car the lot took it for a spin, said he liked it he would bring his son later.... i thought mmm yea ok... 2hours later he turned up offered 1400, when it was 1490. i said 1420 SOLD! would have got about 800 trade in!

[Adam_Q]

simple mate, DONT advertise on here you wont have much luck, most people ave a car on the forum, put it on autotrader. take off the grille put that back to standard, take of the halfords looking petrol cap, put it up for sale at 1700 and that should sell within a week

best thing to do is on autotrader compare it to cars of age / mileage and price it accordingly looks clean but if u wanna sell it take of the grille petrol cap and saxp stickers
