Selling motors, who else hates it?

[swinny]

Currently selling a motor.

 

I always price stuff fair to move it on etc not one of these to stick something up for 500 quid more then i want. my price is my price

 

You have to waid through the low silly offers.

 

Then there's the new tax laws

 

Then for me currently there's the time of year

 

I hate changing motors, next time i change it will be for something near new and keep for 10 years

Agreed. Drive it 'till the wheels fall off, then get another one! Some people change cars more often than I change pants, but I can't see the appeal as you have to shift the old one, or trade it in; and therefore get your bum-hole infiltrated.

Or you could get better at selling cars, unless you like that sort of thing:laugh1:

Sold the wifes on ebay, got it looking so nice, a guy said he would have it over the phone. Paid us full asking price and offered us petrol money as well - found ebay both cheap and effective!

 

Just put yourself in the buyers position and make sure you advertise what they want to hear. Years MOT helps, road tax is a thing of the past but if it has had new parts tyres brakes service etc - just make it look good!

Yep, I hate it. The week I've got a car/truck/van on Ebay is always a stressful one, answering stupid phone calls, filtering genuine buyers from time wasters, arranging viewings and lots of haggling. Does my nut in but I'm too skint to just punt it onto webuyanycar or similar otherwise I think I would for an easy life!

My wife wanted to buy a car from a neighbor . They would not sell it to her in case it went wrong .

Yep that's something else that stresses me out, I don't need to but I always spend the weekend before it goes on ebay cleaning and valeting it, fixing those niggly little faults it's had ever since I got it and giving it a service and MOT.

 

Quite often I've bought a car with a few little problems, and only got round to fixing them when it's time to sell it! I really should do them as soon as I've got it rather than driving round with two years with windows that don't work, leaking sunroofs, no heater etc and only fixing it in time for the new owner to benefit

Sold one recently. It's the people who do my head in. I always ask a fair price and make all my descriptions honest. but people still want to haggle. One guy came offered £2k less than the asking price and wouldn't budge. I told him I was sorry he'd had a wasted journey, but that I thought it was probably time he left as I wasn't going to sell it to him for that money.

He asked me for the money to cover his fuel costs!

Just shut the door in his face.

yup being offered low when you put a reasonable price on in the first place is painful!

 

This is the motor in question :

 

Mitsubishi l200 4wd 4work Low mileage | eBay

 

 

Even at the price its on at i feel im selling myself short.

Looks cheap.
