Lack of interest in my BG182

[Dredd]

Hi,

I posted a for sale ad on here for my BG 182 a couple of weeks ago (not advertised elsewhere yet) but I've had no interest Is it a bad time to sell? Have I priced it wrong? Would appreciate any thoughts.

Cheers,
Dave.

I think with everything going on mate people maybe being cautious cause of job positions isolation and pay ect soon will blow over and it will sell I am sure

 

[Bluebeard]

I’m not sure if you’ve read the news at all for the last 4 weeks, but there’s a bit of a ‘thing’ going on around the world. It’s somewhat hampered the General Public’s desires to spend money.

 

[dann2707]

Probably down to the fact that there's absolutely zero photos on the advert no?

 

[R3k1355]

Probs could do with some pictures in the advert.

Properly bad time to be selling.

 

[DrR]

No pictures in the advert?

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

No seats.
Birmingham.
No pics.
Covid19.
Oh and you're basically selling ice to the Eskimos...

 

[Iain C]

Not sure of the Op is serious.

 

[Pistachio]

Throw some bog rolls on the parcel shelf before you take the photos

If you dont add pics to an advert then what do you expect

Blind people dont tend to buy cars and people with sight usually like to see what they're getting themselves in for

 

[Dredd]

What do I expect? Someone who knows what a looked after 16 year old RS Clio looks like from Cliosport.net is what I expect. I thought it best to give you guys a chance first but apparently I'm "selling sand to the Arabs" and have no idea what the f**k Vovid 19 is. f**k it - I'm keeping it.

A picture says a thousand words. That's why autotrader has a few of em'.

There are 3 types of people on here...
Never owned a Clio and probably never will.
Owned a Clio and won't have another.
Already own a Clio.

Always gonna be a hard place to sell a Clio on here, unless it's something special

If theres no pics in the advert what do you expect? If I'm looking for a car and theres no photos, I don't look at it.

 

[RustyMojo]

To be honest I’m the same. If there are no pics or half arsed pictures/screenshot pics. I don’t even look at the ad. It just screams ‘can’t be arsed’ and if someone can’t be bothered with taking and uploading pictures, what can’t they be arsed with doing in maintaining their car.

Mate are you serious?This has to be whine up!.JLS.

"selling sand to the Arabs"

You'd still have to provide pics of said sand.

As many have said, no pics will lead to a lesser level of of interest.

 

[Ricardos]

I'm only here for the classic CS quotes as this unfolds.

Posts ad with no pics, no interest, asks why....... Cue the replies

Sweepstake on when this thread gets locked

😁

It's also about ,£500-1k over priced for a bg182.

Yes, it's got some nice mods, but everybody knows you never get your money back on mods unless you return to stock and flog separate

What mods has it got though?
Can we see them? Anyone can list them in an add but without pictures how do I know they exist on the car....

This is comical, would you put something for sale on ebay with no pictures?! 😂

I need some sand. Pics?

You can deliver?

Depending on the service history, I'd say the price is about right to be fair for a well looked after 182 in any colour. At least as a starting point.

Saying that my last BG only sold for £2.2k. That also had spax coilovers. But I think a clock change reduced the value, it also had a few scratches and marks, so wasn't super clean.

Add pictures though, it's not difficult really. I generally upload 100+ whenever I sell a car and provide a link to them. The more info you can provide up front, the quicker it'll sell and the less time wasters you'll get asking for info you've not provided

 

[Crybert]

OP - asks for advice on selling his car

Gets advice

Becomes upset at advice 😂

just stick up some photos man, this is one of the easiest forums to do it. Straight from your phone. It’s actually easier than writing the advert.

Aaah but what type of sand? 😁

It's really not that overpriced 😂

 

[dann2707]

It's really not that overpriced 😂

Might be when you see it, it might be one of those 1:16 scale models 😂😂

Owner sounds like a pratt based on his reply to genuine good advice.

3k for a black 182?

3k is definitely RB territory

 

[Clio182mike]

I think the OP has a valid reason to ask why and to take any good advice. He has been told the reasons which he could take on board but from reading the replies i think some have jumped on him with remarks to try and belittle him. He's just a guy who wants to sell his car on a place that I'm sure has members who don't own one or knows a friend looking for one. If not just shut the for sale section if we all own one.

 

[Ray Gin]

Pics?

3k is definitely RB territory

With those mods 100%. I was offered 3.5k recently for my BG.

On here? Isn't that just the world in general.

Good point

All of them. I need to stock up.

 

[Amos91]

Think we've missed the most important part. Apparently the OP doesn't know what covid-19 is.

Therefore it safe to assume we are dealing with someone on a different intellectual level.

There is no hope.
