How hard can be it be to sell a car :/

[rypt]

So far...
2 scam emails from AutoTrader advert
2 tyre kicker enquires from PH

:/

How long has it been for sale?

Lowering the price alllllways works

 

[rypt]

~3 days now, it's only the £600-700 Celica as in the Cleaning Thread

Aint even going off the bay atm :/

Why are you so impatient? To get a good price I'd wait at least a month and hear a dozen of offers and viewers.

Because I'd prefer to sell it now rather than re-tax it, plus because I want a different car

Hahaha, muppet.

I sold my car to the first viewer. It's less than I wanted, but soon came to realise he wanted it then and there plus he found something things that needed doing even though I didn't knpw about them.

Another car I've sold I had guys practically trying to rip my hand off for it. Waiting ages for the best offer is just silly and the buyers will more than likely just walk away if you mess them around waiting or some magical offer.

Post the ad so maybe you can get suggestions on how to improve it.

So errr, you failed selling the car for the money you wanted ? Who is the muppet, the goal is to sell it for AS MUCH as possible...

Don't sell the car to people who ''find things that need doing''.

snowdog, you have never sold a car.

 

[snowdog]

snowdog, you have never sold a car.

But I've witnessed my parents selling a few. If we'd have sold our previous car to the first buyer we'd get 500€ less than we did...

And by refusing that first offer (unless it was ridiculous of course), you could just as easily still have it now.


If im happy with what i get for a car, i dont care what i might have got.

It took me nearly 3 months to sell my MG ZS for the price I wanted, although that was a straight swap for a Mondeo, which arguably was worth more than the MG.

Give it the week and see what happens, is this the 1st day the add came out?

Not everyone is in from work and looking yet.

Been on AutoT for ~3 days now as I said

Your advert aint helping, just put a number, forget e mails and voicemails.

Sorry that made me lol

and me ! reminded me of the "Ive sat in a few nice cars in my time" comment

 

[Gribs]

Having looked at the advert it could do with better pictures. Not being able to see all of the car always makes me thing the seller is hiding the worst bits.

That number goes to my mobile, it's just that I dont always answer it :/
