j4ck100 12 Posted September 7, 2015 What's the consensus on convertibles now ? Just back from BCA and they are all going under book big time but I guess it's fear that you'll be stuck with them till next year - not ideal! Thoughts ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Derby 259 Posted September 7, 2015 Always done well with MX-5s and 206ccs all year round. I took a Tigra in p/ex 2 weeks ago and it's still here though, top spec as well (heated leather no less!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJ Underhill 34 Posted September 7, 2015 I've just bought a couple from auction, well under book price I buy them all year round, my theory is, people are always "told" not to buy them in the summer but buy them in the winter as the prices are cheaperPlus, getting them for the right price, you can keep them if needs be till the spring and still make on them 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steve92 80 Posted September 7, 2015 Our TT finally went this weekend, we had 3 viewings in total, 1 didn't even drive it because they didn't like the colour. It actually drove really well, full Audi history with Audi cambelt and waterpump, 4 new conti's new pagid discs and pads all round in the last 500 miles .... It was a really nice car. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavin@Rousdon 137 Posted September 8, 2015 I've sat on a 09 plate BMW 330i all summer, sick of looking at it so it's priced at £13k to get it gone. Out of about 12 I've had since March its the only one I'm stuck with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of about 12 I've had since March its the only one I'm stuck with. I get the odd car like that. Nothing wrong with it, priced right, good photo's and sometimes just not a email, phonecall or even a daft 'whats your last price / best price bruv innit' call.Could buy another one like it and it will fly out. Bizarre old world selling cars sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j4ck100 12 Posted September 9, 2015 I've sat on a 09 plate BMW 330i all summer, sick of looking at it so it's priced at £13k to get it gone. Out of about 12 I've had since March its the only one I'm stuck with. that fills me with fear, 7 months !!! Jesus ! Not had a sniff on mine yet either On a ranty note I had a gentleman come over to drive an E class I have for sale, first issue being he reversed the c220cdi he came in into one of my sheds about 3 times then finally parked up. Then we go on a test drive after chatting for a bit, and afterwards he goes "Do you do contract hire?" I said pal do I look like I rent cars out ?! Then he goes what about contract purchase. Had to resist having a go. Could tell he wasn't going to go for it then he goes I have to go home and think about it do you want a spin in my c220cdi I said no I'll wait until you have made your mind up email today "we won't be progressing". :@ some people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

j4ck100 12 Posted September 9, 2015 Only 4 months.....Still 2 months to long!!!!oh thought you meant had it since March ! Had a look at your ad and it's perfect such a nice colour combination I genuinely have no idea why that hasn't flown out of the door. Priced in amongst the less desireable 325i's as well!
