LIKE! Especially the price part! Got a silver 2008 Fiesta 1.6 Ghia 76k. Had it since March. Started at 2500, had a couple of bites. It's now at 1695 and nothing. Even when I accepted "best price" they never showed. Sick of the damn thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it that's the mk6 i have only every sold a zetec s one of them and even that was hard going. Suppose people are aware the newer model on the fiesta is often only that little bit more expensive so will choose that direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know what you mean, but still...for a cheap runaround you'd think someone would want it. Might auction it off on eBay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recently raffled off a couple of p/x shitters on ebay - they made the sort of money I expected (shit) to the sort of punter I expected (shit). If you’ve bought below trade money you have half a chance but don’t expect a wage. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tradegirl 112 Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) It doesn't owe us much. So it's either flog to eBay or drop the price. I expect as BHM says there will be some crap buyers. I also didn't know about the 20% fee. Might just kill it off and sell it cheap Edited July 26, 2019 by tradegirl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

premi-motor 7 Posted July 30, 2019 2007 Audi TT Roadster S-tronic in Red. Full screen Nav, 19" alloys, 2 Owners, 133k with FSH... Proper car in A1 original condition. Had it about 4 months... Lovely car. 3 x eBay auctions later (3 "buyers" - none of whom even viewed it)... #1 @ £5150 didn't contact. #2 @ £4350 had to pick it up within 3 hours after the auction ended as was going to Poland the next day (didn't check that was OK with me first - which it wasn't) #3 at £3700 "didn't expect to get it that cheaply" and then asked "is there anything wrong with it?". Turns out the poor man "bought it for his wife as a surprise" in an "attempt to save his marriage" but "she doesn't like the colour" (Can't make this stuff up)... Now advertised at £4895 or best offer. Not a sniff... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saw your other post about the phone not ringing. It's frustrating when that happens. Have you tried a shuffle-around? Photos? Jiggle prices a little up or down?

premi-motor 7 Posted July 31, 2019 (edited) For me, I find eBay classified ads just sit there. With auctions, at least you get interest (yet not always real buyers), plus there's a sense of urgency for a quicker turnover. I've tried price up, down, left, right... Car on side of the road priced up. 1 viewer who phoned up wanting to view, yet when we met she didnt want a red car and didnt think she wanted a cabriolet! Idiots.... Genuinely a lovely car. Perhaps a bit miley at 133k but is the S-Tronic with Factory Nav so seems (and looks) like a cheap car to me! Autotrader is expensive. I only had 2 calls last time on a cheap but mint Audi A5 M-Tronic (Black with Tan leather) - sold it locally... Most people in the area I know are REALLY struggling this month with the exception of my mate whos beat his August record and has done about 25+ this month!

We had a 318 coupe red leather, just the SE spec, but beautiful car. Had it for sale about 4 months I think and priced very well. Was about to go get the alloys done in gunmetal grey, when a lad rang, it was exactly what he was looking for. He was so made up. He said he wouldn't have wanted gunmetal alloys. The right buyer will come along, and it will be just the 1 sensible person who knows what they want. Unfortunately it's a waiting game with some cars.

Its mental. There really are no rules... Prep a ll my cars very highly (overboard really) but they usually sell to the fist to view. I just cannot understand this TT...

premi-motor 7 Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) ...did a deal on the car Friday evening to an older chap. Agreed a price. He asked if Cash or Bank Transfer was OK, and agreed to call before he left. Buyer coming from Southampton to Essex. No call by 11am. I work from home and he had my address so tried to call numerously throughout the day, being tied to the house. Eventually got through at 6.30pm. "I sent you an email saying I wasnt coming - cant get insured, sorry". Email was sent at 17:15 after having to wait in all day. Needless to say he was "enlightened". This car is a $&!* magnet Edited August 5, 2019 by premi-motor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
