Skoda Superb III 4x4 280 - A sleeper’s journey – 280ps to 560ps

5k commission, bloody hell.

 

[Simon]

What exactly were they doing to want that sort of mark up? Hypnosis?

Original engine sold. Can source another but then you have labour costs to swap remapping etc. To take back to stock a car that is working perfectly and had a lot and professional work done to bring it to where it is. I had two offers for 27k a few months ago but with the previous company wanting 5k commission that would leave me with only 22k so I did not sell it. No commission now so I see no reason I won't get any offers a bit lower than those this time around. Buyers for something like this are out there as proven by previous offers. Of course I can also use it for another year and sell it for less in 2020 if necessary too.

Lmfao 5k comission, who's these jokers again?

A previous company and I agreed to that so no complains.

Current one helping me as a favour with no commission. Great people

So you were already set in your mind to take 5k less than the asking price.

How much were you asking again and how much now?

Why does it matter?

Why does it matter?

Because this thread is no longer about the car, it's a good old fashioned OcUK Motors interrogation into your finances, decision making and most importantly letting you know you're wrong (about what doesn't matter)

Oh, ok, I was just wondering

The internet knows best. ALWAYS

 

[~Divine~Wind~]

Why does it matter?

Because I cant remember the last ad and don't know where it's advertised now lol?

I like to keep myself abreast of modified car prices just in case

 

[Martynt74]

Think it started around £35k and is now around £26k

 

[wedrum]

stick it on ebay auction, that will give you an idea of what people will pay.

 

[Hades]

I really love this car (sorry I'm not in the market for it).

Selling modified cars is always a tricky proposition.

 

[floatindolphin]

I watched one of the YouTube videos about this car last night. It's lovely! Good effort with all you did to it.

 

[Django x2]

Actually, you would have paid £5k commission for someone who actually managed to find two buyers for your car, as opposed to the current jokers, who haven't... That's how you should be looking at it imo.

Any car like this will not return close to the money spent. If you get more than a mint version of a standard version plus 10% you are doing well. Just nature of the beast.

Yep pretty much how it goes for any modified car unless it's super rare.

So, is it worth it?

Can be if you derive pleasure from the journey and end result. I built a race car and that’s much the same. Big hole you throw money into most of which you won’t see again.

 

[Micloi]

Sold.
