surely my 182 is worth 5k???

[ellclover]

i put my 182 on ebay with a very honest description, i have good feedback, but every time before when i have sold cars with no reserve my phone and message inbox is like a hot line? so what has happened this time i will be lucky to make 4k at this rate for a 2005 performance car with lots of features??? surely it isnt right???

how many watchers?

 

[ellclover]

40 but that could be just people with clios wanting to know how much it goes 4!!!

 

[Adamhodg]

If i am bidding on an item, i always wait until the last minute to bid.
So i would hope the price would go up within the last few hours!.

 

[DrR]

just get someone you know to bid what you actually want for it in the last 10 seconds.

 

[Racingblue182]

Then he could end up beating a proper bid by a tenner and being back to square one!

 

[DrR]

well i'd rather do that then sell it for nothing?

then you'd do a second chance offer type thing to the 2nd highest bidder

 

[Stuart182]

Why not put it up on auto trader for the price you want, and wait to be contacted by someone who agrees with that price. At least then your not putting a deadline on when it sells by




unless you need a cash injection and will take considerably less than what u want???

 

[ellclover]

well ive bought a new car already but parkers says that the book figure on this car is like 7k so surely it must go for 5 atleast???

 

[Andi-B]

just get someone you know to bid what you actually want for it in the last 10 seconds.

Or for £2K less than it's worth and then see if the 40 watchers are genuine..

But, ain't that shrill bidding and can't she be slapped on the hand for it? :quiet:

It's a slow selling time is cars, especially high performance, high insurance ones atm.

 

[Bucko]

£5k?! If that's all your hoping for then i wish we'd met a few months back. I paid £4k for an '02 172 back in May.

Everyone seems to be having trouble shifting hot hatches at the mo, something to do with road tax going up about £100 (less than £10 a month) and fuel getting a little more expensive. Stupid really.

Good luck shifting it mate, i know what it's like trying to sell your old car when you've already bought a new one. Did you get a bread van?

 

[ForceIndia]

Very hard to sell at the moment. My 172 was mint, had Recaro's, sensibly priced, still took 3 months to shift.

None of that matters when people got wind Riz had been in it !

Glad I sold mine when I did.

 

[ellclover]

yeah got a bread van it was the right price i need something a bit bigger without being a mondeo. i think im being realistic with the 5k surely people wont let it go for less than that even on ebay.

 

[Bucko]

My mates missus just bought a 2 year old Citroen C2 1.1 sx with 35k for £5.5k

Yours is a right bargain in my opinion

 

[GinandGasoline]

£4.6k with 11 mins left.... f**k me that is cheap!

however, in my opinion, cars sold on ebay rarely make top money... not sure why. we've bought a few cars off ebay and got them all at a very good price

 

[R20 CWH]

unbelievable that an 05 plater didnt even scrape 5k

 

[Pep]

I paid just over £6k for mine, same car but only £35k on the clock.
buyers market at the minute, seems most people wanting to buy these type of cars are young lads like me who aren;t bothered about insurance/fuel/tax etc!

 

[paul]

selling at this price is a bit of a joke! has enough miles on it but should have at least been almost close to 6k imo! why people give there cars away ill never know!

 

[Pedro]

I lost alot of money on my first 182.

My own fault for needeing a quick sale.

oldest trick in the book

 

[ellclover]

i didnt lose any money on it, that would just be silly i only paid 4200 for it about 6 months back, i was just hoping to make a bit more on it

 

[Ian_182]

Bloody hell i want another one
