Car not selling

[Shindig]

Have not been able to sell my car, and really just wondering why.
Is the price too high?, wrong time of year? any help would be tops

 

[-Leigh-]

Nobody has any money this time of year.

Price seems very good.

Personally i think the 182's are stuck in limbo . You've got younger people who can't afford them so opt for 1.2 , 1.4's etc..... or cheaper 172's and putting what they save buying a 172 towards their insurance .

Then you've got older people who can afford them and the insurance but are starting to look for something newer like the 197 .

Without part exing your car which isn't ideal as you'll lose what it's really worth you " could " be in for a long wait imo .

 

[Scaggeh]

Agreed, looks an v good price for the car..

 

[Beef-Mc]

Price seems very reasonable to me. It's just coming into the best time to sell IMO.

 

[Dan 172]

Seems a very good car to me.

It will go.

Have you tried putting it on the Trader? Your average joe is gonna look there, before Pheads.

 

[Timmay]

:hail:

 

[Maz]

Wouldn't bother with the trader I didnt even get a phone call from there last time I put mine up for sale.

Advertise it on as many forums as possible and be patient, it will sell.

+1...

also anything over £5k seems to scare alot of people off...as they would prefer to pay that sort of money in the form of hp/finance etc...

Price is about right, Could it be the short length of time you have owned the car or number of previous owners putting buyers off?

 

[Charlieboy]

You could try lowering the price, but I personally think it's quite a good price and if I seen it on a forecourt I wouldn't think, "£7,500, yeah right mate keep dreaming".

Maybe hang on till around March time? What is the reason for selling anyway?

[Shindig]

Buying a house.

 

[Neil G]

Definately a bad time of year to be selling up....everyone is feeling the debt of Christmas still

Blooming heck. If this had been two months ago I'd have snapped that right up.

 

[_Kenny_]

I've not had a bite for my CTR...just a s**t time of year to sell. I'm holding out for what it's worth tho and not selling it on the cheap

 

[Dash]

I see you have reduced your advert on here now. Ask one of the moderators to sort your thread title price to £7995

Just an idea.

 

[fuel_slut]

Price is about right. I'd say between £7-7.5k is right, just depends on how quick you want to sell.

£7k for quick sale or wait out for £7.5k.

I have seen this car in the metal and I know its 100% mint!

 

[Big Iain]

Shame ur getting rid so quick, it certainly was a minter. it did cross my mind to buy it back.

 

[MikeLYR27]

I got 7200k for my 54plate 182 with 28k on the clock if that helps mate. That was part ex for my R27, just haggle mate. I did it between 3 garages and just stood my ground till i got near what i wanted.

would help me big time!

 

[Nafoff]

i think i will be feeling your pain chap, my phase 1 172 has just gone up for sale so i have all this too come

 

[Naith]

time of the month.. i mean year, nothings selling at the moment. it will sell tho mate, just hang tough

 

[richlawson]

how many owners it had and how long u had it

 

[Russ.]

Hi,
ive been looking at 182's, and have just bought one, due to pick it up this weekend.

I did stumble across yours on PH however i never really gave it a second look. If im honest, what put me of yours was the photos that were taken at a disused renault dealership...just gave me the impression of something iffy going on, clearly your a genuine seller but with so many people out to scam you when buying a car you have to be careful.

Maybe pics at home would go down better?

 

[wlshyd182]

Yeah i can see what russ is saying...

Prices at the mo are on their arse for 182's, great for buyers butnot so good for us sellers. I've lost almost £1500 in one year on the 182 Russ just bought off me. Ah well... i think Russ will agree he got a good deal...!! Minus the rear brakes needing doing though eh... lol

At least once they're done it'll be almost as new!! Oh and i'll check the light washer pipes too and see if i can see something obvious, like you say probably just blocked

 

[Russ.]

reason for 182 prices dropping in my opinion is that the cup varients of the 197 are now out that people have been longing for.

Yeah, cant fault the deal or high levels of service im getting from dan If not mate, dont worry about the light washers. Will give me something to do one Saturday/Sunday afternoon.
