Selling car with some problems and being upfront

neris

Have a 2002 peugeot thats been given loadsa minor problems last while and just getting fed up with it at this stage so was thinking of just selling it at a lower price to other models. Would it look bad or put buyers off a car if the seller is upfront with problems and work that needs to be done on the car at a lower price

Wouldnt put people off if you clearly state the couple of items that need attention and price it accordingly. I wouldnt go listing a load of minor problems as it might give the impression of it being a lemon and not worth the hassle.

Similar situation here, spent €550e on my 2002 Octavia, usual wear and tear stuff as the car was bought for €4500 when 5 years old in 2007, it owes me nothing wondering if i could get 41200 for it.

Next few weeks will tell alot

Every car has issues. You might well be at your tether with the car, so unless there are lights on the dash and the car is a lemon, state the minor issues, price accordingly and get shot of it.
