crap time to sell a car - Saxperience

nealcampbell · 19th May 2009, 18:03

Alright guys i've got a question...

I tried selling my show car a while back and got nothing but timewasters and dreamers. I realise that its a shit time to be selling a car but i really need to get rid of it now.
Obviously i'm gonna lower the price and have got nearly a full 12 month MOT on it now but the question is.. Do you think it would be easier to strip the car and sell it for parts?
Theres lots of expensive parts like the hydraulics etc but with the body all being steel theres no kit to sell.

What do you reckon?

the car..

thats actually an extremly nice car

considering body kits arent in fashion at this current time!

its hard to say weather stripping it would be best, try and get some intrest for the parts etc. then go from there

My car is modified (not to that extent ill be honest

) but im having to put it back to standard and sell parts seperatly then sell the car standard.
Works alot better.
No one is buying cars atm

How do you put fuel in it?

bad time to sell a car, not only the economic situation but also because everyones going track 'look'

I can see alot of nice workmanship in that,

As i work at the largest car auction company in the uk i can say
due to the mods on your car it will only sell to a niche market and then only if its the spec they want so you have a very limited audience.
But on the whole we are seeing a very good conversion rate on good condition small engind cars and diesels, and at the same time are fetching very good prices
Big guzzling petrol cars are harder to shift.
Id say your best bet is c if you can get on a company or club stand at fcs with flyers and specs on it and c what that brings.

Looks like a hot wheels car with the big chrome wheels.

I like.

I'd assumeso, since it has plates.

In a similar note to what has been said, that style of modifying has gone out of fashion and made your potential market even smaller.

Where have you had it advertised? As that is the first time I have seen that car, ever.

Did you used to have another account on here btw?

It wouldn't be the first car not to have a rear number plate light.

I'm sure it appears for MOT time unless he knows the person doing the MOT who'll over look it.
