is it slow times for selling cars on the net , i cant sell mine

[jamesey]

i have a near mint jimny that ivhad on ebay , im wanting around the £1800 mark for it and all im getting is stupid bids like £900 , its a w reg and fully kitted out with lifts and shocks and things , i thought it would fly out at that price

[discowoman]

Nope, youll be struggling to shift anything bigger than a moped for a few months - what with the price of fuel, all the uproar about the road tax etc etc etc
keep trying tho'

[redhand]

Also prices of 4x4's of all makes have been in freefall since xmas. Mates just about to pick up a P reg SWB frontera 2.0petrol 10months MOT £200

[pux]

rubbish i have just sold my Defender 110 for £100 less than my asking price :D :D just hang in someone will buy it ;)

[Discopoo]

Yuo have to remember you are selling to a very narrow market, ie, someone who wants a Jimminy with mods. I'm sure if you are paitent you will get close to wht you are asking for but it's not like selling a bog standard Clio or Focus you are aiming at a specialist market. Good luck.

[jamesey]

ill keep trying , but my tax is due and ive swapped the insurane over to the new car already.

[Discopoo]

Not a problem just Sorn the Jmminy and keep it off the road.

[jamesey]

ill have to now or ill have to get insured for it again , anyway my new terrano is due for its mot in 2 months and ive found a load of rust undrneath on the cills and things so it might be a good idea to keep the jim for a while seeing as its already kitted out  :doh:

It's all a bit up & down at the moment. My mate's just bought an R. reg 4.0 Cherokee with only 68k on the clock for £1000 but I sold my 1988 Defender 90 for £200 more than I paid for it 6 months ago  :shock:  WEIRD.

[pux]

Tell ya what i have just sold my defender and i cant find a car i like at all :roll:

[muddyjames]

just sold the caravan I bought in january and turned out the layout didnt work for me. Taken me since then to sell it and £300 in advertising and sold it for £400 less than I paid. So a loss of £700.

It is dead out there mate to sell anything big. Sorry for bad news.

Funnily enough, I've had people turn up at my door hoping to buy my cars, and they aren't even for sale!

Not just cars that aren't selling- been trying to sell my boat for months....

I have knocked 25,000 off the original asking price so far- still no takers!

I feel sorry for those trying sell houses at the moment- must be a bit grim seeing thousands slowly erroded off your home's value over the months.

The people responsible for the 'Credit Crunch' have a lot to answer for.

Of course Gordon Brown tripling the price of Marine Diesel in the last few months hasn't helped the sales of boats much either....

the autotrader website gets quite a few customers every day, even now, so i guess people are more likely to buy "summery" cars eg mx5's and whatnot.

Took me a while to sell the mitzi Pajero. I was getting a bit despondant, but then chappie comes along, bids me down a bit, but its gone. Hang in there.

Nice boat BTW, cost the same as my house! :shock:



I guess comments like this are at the bottom are going to scare off some buyers! Buy this boat for as little as £2,183.44 per month.
 :shock:

I'd have thought the price of marine diesel would not be an issue, if you've got £200,000 to blow on one of those you ain't going to worry about the cost of fuelling it.

[pux]

did you win the boat?? :shock: :shock:

[winchman]

Winchwoman and I tried selling cars a few years ago.
Did it all the correct way insurance trade plates etc
Didnt make a bean so pulled the plug, new cars are just too easy to buy on finance etc
I know dealers who are making £50 per car profit its just mad.
The problem with yours is its a bit special but this is also an advantage as any one who wants a modded one wont find many.
Just hang in there it will sell.
Keep it insured for theft just in case and it wont cost much
