This will upset some people , but , truth hurts and all that

there are only 2 reasons cars ( or anything else for that matter ) doesnt sell

1, its either a bag of shit

2, its to expensive

If a car is a good car and the price refects the market at that time , then it will sell

i had a very busy march but april has been slow.have sold stuff but its been really low priced.
i would never ever have another mk4 2.0 golf gti as it seems no-one wants them!

if the stuff is decent though and priced fairly it will go eventually.

but ive got a 04 plate (facelift)rover 75 1.8 turbo,in met grey with full black elec/heated leather,harmon kardon stereo,94k with fsh and full mot and taxed-a hell of a lot of car-its in the autotrader at £2495 and not had a sniff!

Just sold my CTR for 5k, reasonable pirce, went in four days - I was getting impatient ofter day three lol!!

Car was up at 5250, so happy with the price I got.

Cars are selling, but they have to be priced at a reasonable price, as everyone thinks they should be able to snap up baragins at the moment.

I know a trader who sold 19 cars last weekend - all average family saloons at around the £5k mark and he can't get enough of them. His biggest problem is finding decent cars !

this is what gets me, its a good car thats had a lot of money spent on it
but i cant get people to come look
every car ive ever sold,has sold to the first person thats viewed it,i dont own crap

as for it being a 2.0 its 4 insurance groups less than the 1.8 and is only 10bhp less so i dont know why people dont like them
i will just have to keep trying
