Is it the wrong time or somthing???

2 weeks on pistonheads and autotrader and I've had one phone call about it!!!!

am I doing somthing wrong?

 

depends on advert car and price mate. though i guess this time of year wont help but it wouldnt stop me buying a car if i was looking..

what is it, decently priced? desireable?

Crowds.

 

sold my passat in 2 days off pistonheads didn't get chance to advertise it somewhere else, i had 4 other people interested too

usualy price is the problem... i dubt the TVR will sell so quick though!

 

price seems right...

its a 19k car and its up for 1k less than a dealer would ask....

Alex

 

This is not a For Sale post
FPMSL

 

its not or I would have linked to my GP on ebay/pistonheads/autotrader....

Alex

 

only 1k less than a dealer....for a private i think you may struggle TBH (esp. on a 19k car)

it took me 6 months (admitedly not tryinh very hard) to sell my saff as i was adament that i was gonna get good money for it

good luck selling it but for a quick sale you need a low price

 

what car is it your selling??

 

It's SLOOOOOOW this time of year mate.

Deathly.

Why are you selling anyway? What's next?

 

 

Unless it's very desirable then I reckon you are going to have to drop another 2k so it's 3k below, IMHO at 1k less folk would rather pay the small amount extrabuy from a dealer.

 

Its a Cooper S GP - so desirabe yes (even with red wing mirrors )

Why am I selling? I've had it a year lifes too short

 

My mate got 16k for his cooper jcw with EVERY possible option including the 3k sparco seats if that helps you any, as i know the gp's fetch better money than them

 

Obviously!

What with having one whole phone call on it! Sounds like they're beating a path to your door mate!

I find gay men using the term "ATM" quite unnerving.

 

LOL thanks paddy - the car is, otherwise why is insurance more expensive than a std cooper s

 

but chip EVERYONE knows your not 100% happy with your sexulaity

 

Wrong price. only Ł1k less than a dealer is not cheap enough for quite a specialised car.

 

* shudders *

 

I think their logic is "that daft cunt just paid a few K extra for orange mirrors, he must be enough of a sucker to pay higher insurance too"

 

 

Because the limited parts supply of a GP edition makes it harder to fix

Fuck all to do with desirability

If its not getting interest and not selling its too expensive for the marketplace. Fact

Martin H is totally right

ps. Cool little cars, awful in the wet on runflats.

 

LOL @ this thread

 

I agree!

And I also think we know that insurance premiums at that point have fuck all to do with desirability. It's how likely the cunt that buys it is to crash it into something and if they'll want to get it fixed [with a "GP" tax on all the bits!].

Alex doesn't do ATM.

I checked.

 

Alex, as you have owned it from new, did you put "1 lady owner" in the advert, that can sometimes help shift a car

 

Only used for shopping, cottaging and mild track use?

 

Interesting points on the price.

mine is currently joint 2nd cheapest GP currently forsale

Junction 28 have got one at 17,750 they must want rid quick!!

Alex

 

Its even got a dogging bar in the back of it

 

Or they've had it ages and can't fucking sell it

There's an old lady [I shit you not, we know the family] who is so old that she has one of those battery powered invalid chariot things she uses to go down the road to the shops, she's got a GP! I'll walk up and see if she wants another one for you

 

could be paddy - but why (which was the original question in this thread )

 

Which I answered in my original answer

It's SLOOOOW this time of year.

Personally, I would describe it as more of a "specialist" car than desireable. I know there's lots of difference between that and a JCW [because you didn't stop banging on about it when you got it ] but who else knows?

Not enough people to make it "desirable"

It'll sell mate, just don't expect it to fly out like a Ł10k JCW would

 

I know you did paddy - just others didn't

Anyway what do you mean going on about it. I haven't seen you since I got it !!! In fact these days I doubt you really exist

Alex

 

Some days I don't!

shhh.

 

i wish the market was slow the car im looking to buy

 

I have the same problem at the moment, I have been after an MG ZS 180 for ages, found the EXACT spec one I want for a good price, but I haven't shifted the Renault Scenic run about and I cant think of a way of having 3 cars (one other already) at the same time while insuring all 3 etc

I assumed i would have no hope of selling this itme of year

 

So its going to be worse next month and then impossible in Jan and crap on feb...

so thats 1/4 of the year cars dont sell

 

not for me - I want to buy a car, but they're all too expensive

 

Fancy a Renault Scenic?
