Surely that can also work to your advantage?
Just tell them you had the reciprocal balancing shaft polished the other day and that the ectoplasm injection system you installed delivers at least 20% more upforce on the downstroke.

Featuring the unique Piss-Up-A-Downpipe(TM) system that injects petrol underneath the piston crowns as well, generating 50% more power and efficiency and that, like a two-stroke only with less shrapnel!!

I'm not sure if anyone has posted the above yet but it gave me a good laugh! €800 for a 1991 Type A Corsa with no tax and no NCT.

Put it on Donedeal with a phone number on it for a realistic price maybe?

Sold about 10 cars this year on DoneDeal with no great issues, advertised a few on Carzone and got nothing but spam emails from it, not a single call even though they were all priced well below the Carzone average.

You seem to be causing yourself more of an issue by trying to avoid one.

Without a number on the ad majority of serious buyers will just move onto the next car.

The aim was to avoid donedeal, but even though it went up there I definitely would never put a number on it. Having looked into it, a couple of dealers up north might just buy it from me which would really save a massive hassle.

The price offered may be disappointing...

I chanced my arm with one of them when I was selling my car they offered me about a 1/4 to 1/3 of the cars value. Want to be seriously desperate to offload a car to them.

Oh yes. And they know that.

You're creating more hassle for yourself by trying to avoid the hassle. I really don't see your logic in this sale process at all :eek:

You want to figure out in monetary terms how much dealing with a few potential messers is.
You want/need to sell. There's no easy way to get the figure you want fir it without advertising it on the most popular website.

In years of selling cars on DoneDeal, nothing like that has ever happened me

I'm truly baffled as to your objection towards it.

Nice car, cheap tax, low mileage.
Look at that price though.

dar83 · 20-09-2015 04:07PM

Sold my car on DoneDeal last week in 24 hours. First person to call me and then come see it, drove away in it.

Can't get better than that!

I would class that as slightly optimistic rather than dreamer territory. Price would be about right if being sold by a dealer.

I don't know George, here's a similar one being sold by a dealer for a fair bit less.

There are some amount of Shiite accord diesels out there. If it's straight and honest it's worth the guts of that IMO

Marty McFly · 20-09-2015 11:42PM

An Accord without leather that has to be pretty rare.

Great car to drive though well not sure about the diesel one but petrol is.

Long Time Lurker · 21-09-2015 09:08PM

That's UK pounds, not euro.

Oh and don't forget the VRT. Actually that's ironic because its worth about the same as the aforementioned tax :-)

He says similar to a cosworth, I don't think so 125bhp is all that is putting out.

Must be gold plated pistons in that D5 for the price.

colm_mcm · 21-09-2015 10:59PM

Slightly OT, but what a great design for 1985.

I'm just lost for words. In need of restoration, indeed.
Well, if he restores it, he may just get 3000 for it.
Typical classic car dreamer. He's been watching too many programs where old Bugattis were pulled out of sheds and fetched silly money even unrestored and he thought "Jaysis, I got one a dem too, be worth a pile a money!"
I shall keep an eye on this with interest and see how long this ad stays up before being "readvertised due to timewasters

not even advertised as a twin cam either
