55 plate, new model, too many variations, cheap dealer deals, oversupply and demand etc etc.

 

[Gareth]

[dutty_112]

[Smokey]

people out pricing themselves is the only thing to blame.

Realistic priced cars are selling quicker then hot cakes.

Very true. When Ive phoned round all the sensibly priced ones have gone!

 

[mr sheep]

yep if its agood price it wont last to seconds! hold mine not sold yet... hmmmm

What makes me laugh, is when people say, "Im in no rush to sell".

WTF, the longer they leave it the older the car gets, the less the car is worth.

As said if teh car is sensibly priced it will shift. Id have no problems buying a car that was £500 max over trade provided it was mint, Im just not into paying £1500-£3000 over trade like some in the "for sale" section massive at the moment.

Bottom line is, sensibly priced cars sell. Theres a siler 54 plate import int he fors sal section, the owner wants over what a UK car car is worth, when he admits being bid £8000 by a trader. WTF?

What would you expect to get for between 7-8k in todays market??????

 

[Matt ATR]

Current petrol prices arent helping "performance" cars to sell either!

mint low miler Mk2 172, import 182, dog of a 182

 

[Lagerlout]

I would say 8k should get you a good average miles 53 plate 172.

 

[patty]

Heh heh. Chritmas mean anything to you Omar?

definite oversupply and new plates have killed the market.

BUT, if you have a well cared for minter and its priced sensibly then it will go.

some areas are cheaper for 172/182s than others as well.

New 182s can be picked up £11k so that has a huge impact on the 2nd half value

Do it mate, you know it makes sense though the nav n RA make a lot of sense too with all driving you do, you go see ma man at Fosters yet?

 

[R20 CWH]

phoned up, nae in stock, plus need the external aerial due to windscreen AND the windscreens still buggered wi that crack on it. Cant afford car off road for the day to get it fixed.



will get it sorted next week i hope

RA defo coming up!!

just crossed 21k miles - what you on? Defo need a mini meet or something

 

[the_ferret]

i was looking for a nice mk1 to strip down and track, but trying to find something for the realisitc price that doent have interior mods and bits that im basically going to remove is turning me off at the mo, any decent one ive seen has gone at a realistic price.

alot of the "for sale section" cars are very nice but theyve had a lot of stuff done that, for me, arent wanted

trying to find an almost standard "good runner" at a good price, aaarrrggghhh

 

[ben_p]

yer thats wht im finding, for some people they just want the car 2 jump into without having to modify them selves< there the smarts lol, then there is a stong market for standard 1s but most are too pricey
