andy_h Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Am I doing something wrong I can't seem to sell it. It's on here, Pistonheads and Autotrader. When compared to similar cars it's a lot cheaper, but the only interest I get are the normal "we'll pay you more than the selling price via paypal, and send a shipper to collect".... yeah, right!! Any ideas? White road legal 2.0 HPC VX race car - Now all shiney and new 😬 Edited by - andy_h on 7 Mar 2011 00:17:59 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finmac Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Dont mean to be at all critical but you've asked for comments so here goes..... Looking at your car the thing that sticks out is the mileage, which many will perceive as being "high", whether the car can take big mileages or not is not the issue, rather what people think. That coupled with the fact its near the mythical 100K barrier will put people off. Having owned a lot of leggy cars down the years, they will sell BUT the price has to fully reflect the mileage, have you got any mates in the trade? If so check out Glasses guide and see what a "normal" miler is trade booking at, then use the table at the back to mileage adjust, add a bit to that - say £500ish and (while you might not like it to much!) you will have a number which the car should readily sell for.

Wile7 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Andy - I think as a 2006 car with that mileage it is just too expensive, sadly. There was a silver one near us on a driveway (private) just before Christmas with 102k on it, full S/H etc and they wanted £7250. Didn't sell. A local garage bought it (I imagine at around £5500 ish) and had it on his forecourt for about a week at £6250. It went. There are loads of C and E class Mercs around which is your problem. It will probably leave you at around £7250 if you are very lucky. The guides are out by miles on these types of cars because there are so many around. Sadly. Sorry Here kind of illustrates the point at the low end (admittedly on 55 plates...). Good luck with it Dave Ardley - White Xflow with Clams The Bearded Clams - King Clam of Clam Hill! photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_h Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Thanks both, comments are helpful. Interesting point re value, I'll get another valuation but to add in the mix I have had a quote from 'we buy any car' for £7k.

Wile7 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 You should get a bit more than that privately I would have thought Andy - for the 06 plate. £7.5k possibly? At least your Caterham is white.

andy_h Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks. In fact my brother took a load of photos of you at Llandow track day a couple of years ago, he thought you were me 😳 at least I think it was you. I'm very sure it wasn't me and I don't know of another White with clams 😬 White road legal 2.0 HPC VX race car - Now all shiney and new 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Village Idiot Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 That's probably Strongeys car - it is white, clammy and also has the very manly blue leather option Dicks Saw blades here How to drive a car here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Andy, Alot of it will be down to the time of year This time last year I was trying to sell my 157k miles 5 year old BMW. I had loads of really daft offers and in the end sold it for about 1k less than I really thought it was worth. 2 months down the line I could not have brought the same car for what I sold it for and I still had enquires from buyers asking if it was still available? If I were you I would value it fairly and hold your price until March. Then reduce it if it still hasnt sold Obviously this strategy wont work if you need shot quickly and there is a risk of it becoming saturated within the advertising world and buyers assuming its a pup! Love buying cars but hate selling them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 BTW, By far and away the best place I have brought and sold cars recently has been ebay classified followed by the local free ads Pistonheads is ok if selling a 7 but there are too many others on there to make a tin top stand out IYSWIM? The PH search engine is quite blunt too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mav Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Trade in prices via the vauxhall glasses guide online are usually a good guide. I'd be adding 500 - 1000 to the prices there dependant upon condition. Edited by - mav on 18 Jan 2011 13:33:39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Unfortunately the real value of anything is what someone is prepared to pay for it. Hope you sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
