jono Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Bearing in mind what Petrolhead is trying to knock out for 13.5k I think you may struggle for a Q plate at this price, nice car tho it may be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Noted, although this is about my car not Petrolheads. They are VERY different cars with very different levels of spec and condition. If there is interest then I'll negotiate on price for mine to its current market value If not then i'll enjoy it continue to upgrade Its not the days in your life ..........But the LIFE in your days!! ;0)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I know it is a different time of year but FWIW, I sold my similarly specced '97 Q plate 7 albeit with more grunt, on TB's and with Ford axle in July last year for nearly 13k so I don't think that price is too unreasonable. Interestingly, at the time, there was another Zetec car available which was way cheaper than mine and similarly, people posted on my thread comparing the price of my car with that one, quite rudely IMO. As it happens, the buyer judged the condition of mine, made up his own mind and bought my car within a week of it going on sale. The much cheaper car was still up for sale a few months later IIRC ❗ Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Had Sandy not invited expressions of interest rather than saying "this is for sale and this is the price", I would not have commented. Just trying to be helpful and Petrols car seems to me to say everything about the market at present time. I bought my 1400 '96 6 speed supersport at the start of the year for 9k which I thought was a bit of a bargain. Realistically if I wanted to sell it now I would probably be looking at 8-8.5k. Selling is all about market comparables hence my comment even allowing for the cars being different and we all know that non std cars are more tricky to sell. No intention to be rude and apologies if that's how it came over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Sorry jono, I didn't mean to imply you were being rude, that was just a throwaway comment relating to my own thread last year and probably badly worded. 😳 I can see where you are coming from about the state of the market but I was simply commenting that just because 1 car isn't selling at a certain price, it doesn't mean to say that others won't. It can depend on many factors apart from price,.............condition, spec, geographic location etc, etc. Brent 2.3 DURATEC SV Reassuringly Expensive R 417.39 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 The one who rudely posted on my thread and annoyed me intensely was Chris Matthews, but then doesn't he annoy everybody ❗ Anyhow, the car sold quickly despite his interference.
