Car looks great tbh in sure the next owner will be made up. I'd have been tempted at £3500 but I think it will go for more

Auction was and is last resort. I had on buy it now and no interest. This way it goes for what someone is willing to pay for it.. And I get to pick up my new car knowing this is sold.

Crybert · Nov 20, 2015

Oh dear. I hope you're not as angry or would up as easily whilst working in the prison. Just take it with a pinch of salt, it's not as though I've offended you. Just stating its not a great advert..

I think having 0 feedback doesnt help,car will sell easy had a look at 182s on there and there are loads of much worse adverts.Was trying to convince Mr Works to get it but i know hes after a pink integra :smile:

Nat8701 · Nov 20, 2015

Not angry.. Just seems to me than many quick to slate on here.

Nat8701 · Nov 20, 2015

I do welcome viewings so if anyone is genuine my feedback shouldn't put them off.
I'm not an Ebay user just knew it would get seen a lot more than a forum

Agree just people off the forums might see 0 feedback as a worry.Interesting too see the final sell price.

I'm not trying to have a personal dig or slate the ad.
Just for me personally, and it seems a few on here have the same view, the advert and pics is critical part of me wanting to bid or not bid.

You know the car, it's in your possession, so you know what condition it's in etc.
None of us know....
And as none of us do, our only insight into its condition is through your words and pictures.
Hence why a good impression on a well polished advert could be the difference between a sale/view and none.

Nat8701 · Nov 20, 2015

Views are different.. Had a lot tell me it's a good advert compared to many and you can't please everyone.

leeds_182 · Nov 20, 2015

3250 and let's end this charade now.

MarcB · Nov 20, 2015

Now at £3,300

Different standards/strokes for different folks it seems.

No digs here, just sharing my opinion that may help.

Welsh.Dan · Nov 20, 2015

Yeah. As stated. Everyone's views are different.

Hope you get what you want for it [emoji106]

imprezaworks · Nov 20, 2015

I'm in at £3500 :smile:

And gone higher, dammmmmmm

masekwm · Nov 20, 2015

It's got 2 days to go, bid at the last minute!

imprezaworks · Nov 20, 2015

I know how it works. But that would have been my highest bid.

imprezaworks · Nov 21, 2015

Ah. I've just had an eBay message saying there are retracted bids and I'm the highest bidder lol

Nat8701 · Nov 21, 2015

yea had a lad who has offered me his max out of Ebay and since retraced his bids. So hopefully I don't get a time waster winning it :-(

imprezaworks · Nov 21, 2015

Well if I do win then you won't get a time waster as that's just not me.

midge · Nov 21, 2015

Car auctions on ebay are pain in the ass, i'd say 3/5 winning bidders dont even bother making contact, then the next time its auctioned it will go for less, id throw my turbo on an auction but i just cant deal with the idiots

imprezaworks · Nov 21, 2015

I won't be winning it by the looks of things.

Ex-User (72296) · Nov 21, 2015

4k for a 12yr old clio, I don't care what colour it is..

imprezaworks · Nov 21, 2015

It won't lose any money though

leeds_182 · Nov 21, 2015

It's about buying the right car.

I sold a 20 year old Peugeot 106 for 4K.

Welsh.Dan · Nov 22, 2015

Tbf I own the colour and can honestly say it's worth the premium.
Its a joy to own, so many comments and it just looks so damn good. Makes it feel special to own.

imprezaworks · Nov 22, 2015

The way things are going I may be able to comment on the colour lol

Welsh.Dan · Nov 22, 2015

Well mine may be up for sale shortly. [emoji20]
Selling the Audi and Clio and getting a mk1 focus RS for myself and a something eco for the wife.
Audi will be sold first.
That's the plan at the minute anyway.

imprezaworks · Nov 22, 2015

Out of sheer interest for how much, roughly?

Welsh.Dan · Nov 22, 2015

I'd be asking around the 4k region too.

StrawberryEggs · Nov 23, 2015

Hi

I'm the guy that won the auction for this car and going to pick it up tomorrow. I thought I'd better join here as I own a Focus ST also and always get useful tips on the focusstoc. I was surprised to find this post but also very happy as it seems to be a known car also.
I've owned 2x 172's before and loved them. I always missed them when they were gone so I was happy with my final price as I do love the colour and expected to pay a premium

You'll have bought a decent car mate. Welcome to the club.

Keep an eye for for our Cliosport Festival event 2016.

ADS_V6 · Nov 23, 2015

Welcome considering its just had belts done,tyres and new exhaust thats over 1k spent.I dont think it was a bad price for the rarity of the colour in honesty.

imprezaworks · Nov 23, 2015

Good buy. I was tempted to go above my bid. Welcome to the forum

StrawberryEggs · Nov 23, 2015

I'm sure I'll enjoy my stay here. Thank you for the warm welcome

R-Sport. · Nov 23, 2015

Nice

Enjoy the car!

StrawberryEggs · Nov 25, 2015

Car picked up and more than happy with it! The seller was very genuine and it's absolutely faultless. Glad to have another back in my life! :O

Edited forgot to do a big thank you to Natalie for the car!

imprezaworks · Nov 25, 2015

Oh plenty lol! Though to be fair they never seem to want for much. But a few little tweaks here and there never go a miss right?
