"Price in CZK" should have been right at the top imo, with equivalent GBP.

I did have the price in GBP up at around 33k, I only just changed it because I did not want the buyer to find it lol.

Your ad unfortunately reads like a scam with the car in Cz., you willing to drive to UK, high value prestige car etc.

Yah I know, It does sound a bit like a scam, I know if i read it I would be a little Suspicious.

He's right

Adjust the price to show the correct price in £

Secondly you're never going to sell a car based in prague on an english website. Because every scamster and his dog says that the car is abroad and that they'll drive it to england

Either sell the car in prague for czech money on czech websites, or take the car to the Uk and sell the car for UK money on uk websites

doing anything else is just going to look like a scam.

To be honest I only put it up there because it was free, I did not think anyone would really respond to it. However I have sold the car to one of my clients.

That would be fantastic... if it were true

Looking at a 911.

Im just really happy I have managed to sell it because Petrol prices in Czech went from being the second cheapest in Europe to the 3rd most expensive

I was looking at a Porsche myself but found them a bit cramped inside so went for the 335i coupe, you are selling your car to get one that's more fun right? Not because of fuel prices? I take it fuel price isn't an issue for you since you will be getting another car that's heavy on fuel.

Thats the torque spread, peak power of 306bhp occurs much later in the rpm range. That much bhp at those revs would be 1200+ lbft.

Wow... I didn't think that they were worth that much... Good price you sold it for... get yourself a M3 next... won't cost you much more

Yep, I am not happy about the fuel prices but both the 911 and 335i should give around 18 mph anyway.

Yah car prices are quite high in czech, the same car in the uk is only worth around 33k at max.

I did think about the M3 but to be honest the 335i is faster around town (so I am told)

I actually think I prefer the 911 interior to the 335i, although I dont really have any experiance of a 911 other than looking. The money you got for the 335i is great! Thats really held its value, good news. But I know which I would rather be driving, onwards and upwards for you mate, well done.

I just saw what you aid about prices where you are, I shall from now on drive my cars there to sell then, lol.

I have done quite well with my cars here, I bought a MG ZR for 4900, kept it for a year and sold it for 4800.

I bought my audi TT for 10 250 in the uk, kept it for 2/3 years put 40 000 miles on the clock and sold it for 10 000 (but I did spend a bit modding it).

I plan to keep the 911 until I move back to the uk at which point my new job will only pay 17k so it will be back to my good old fiesta lol.

Hxc · 3 Jul 2008 at 16:45

911 down to a fiesta! That's not going to be fun for you!

Jez · 3 Jul 2008 at 16:47

£17k? Some form of trainee position? Thats going to come as something of a chock to the system i would imagine!

I am self employed so no set amount. I am moving back to the uk because I did not see the point in spending 7 years in university not to use my qualification . Im going to try and get a job in Canada if possible but I don’t know if thats going to be easy.

Im going to try however with the down turn in the economy and property market we are not doing that well at the moment, but I will get rid of any Property we have invested in.

It will be nice to work a normal job for a change.
