Not many people are gonna rip a car apart for some pics, just saying it's a big Ask.

Done in hundreds of times. I tend to remove speaker grill, speaker and then stick a camera down hole.

Was going to say, it's not a huge ask at all when it could be someone's life savings they're sticking into for an investment.

I thought they had an additional cover behind the speaker that's what I was thinking.

For a normal car you're right, not many people would bother.

but when you're asking top money, you've gotta go that extra mile with the sale process.

Fingers crossed and all that jazz lol

 

[Jack!]

What're the fees when you sell on CC, or does the buyer incur them all?

 

[deanoE30M3]

11.300 no fees to the seller

 

[Jack!]

11k seems like a good result to me.

 

[SKINTasPER]

Well, 11300 I'm happy with!

 

[hopgop1]

Great result! Says a lot about the true values of these cars now, especially low milers.

 

[seb]

Great result

 

[SKINTasPER]

Someone just got a very lovley car , hope I don't regret this in 5 years

 

[Jack!]

If you look at it in absolutes you will regret it, it'll be worth more in 5 years, potentially a lot more.

But that won't reflect whether you were willing to keep it for another 5 years, keep it well, service it every year, tax it, MOT it, or pay for storage costs.

We could all keep everything for as long as possible, but we free up the money to try/do other things.

Agreed mate I'm happy with what it sold at which is all that matters I guess

 

[Mr Underhill]

My track car goes to its new home tomorrow night so might have a cheeky bid

Cheeky bid on what exactly?

 

[Jack!]

I guess sales on CC are also binding? Cash approved before you can bid, so it can't fall through like eBay?

 

[Mr Underhill]

Ignore me

Nope - fee is always taken by CC but you have to sort the actual sale directly with the buyer yourself.

Oh, so you can still end up with the usual eBay type bullshit where the buyer suddenly comes to their senses and finds any excuse to bail?

Yep believe so. Basically I think CC introduce you via email and then leave you to it.

 

[Ex-User (99307)]

Not quite.

You get the email the handshake and then they do check up and offer advice/support etc and will assist with legal stuff if required. They also check up after you've picked the car up as a buyer in case there are any issues.

The buyer has effectively signed a contract to buy the car and pick it up within X amount of days (7 I think) or it will be re-advertise and the buyers fee lost.

My buyer was sending me odd messages saying he wanted the car not touched so he could check it was as described, I mentioned this to CC and I assume they spoke to him because he immediately dropped the nonsense.

 

[SKINTasPER]

Gone and sold. Buyer already has 4 low mileage cups along with 2 trophys lol.

Nice one. Ask him if he'd like another one, cheaper and higher miles but can drive guilt free

 

[Touring_Rob]

I think removing the tow sticker from the 'never tracked' car easily added £1300.

Glad you got it gone - my question is that if you were happy with 11k, why did you put it up for £15k to begin with? I'm not actually being narky here, genuine curiosity.

worth a punt and gives you wriggle room for negotiation. Plus you lose nothing starting high

Just trying my luck tbh anything over 10k I'd of been happy with tbh

Fair answer, glad your happy with the result. Initially I was very dubious you would even get close to 10k but the clean up etc. made such a big difference

 

[SKINTasPER]

Cheers mate!! Was surprised too when it was sat around 7k for so long!
