Any advice on getting this to shift a little quicker?
Only a few enquiries and only 1 that I’d call serious but not able to view until next week at the earliest.

Bar reducing price there isn’t much that you can do. Most things will sell if the price is right. From a quick look price looks reasonably okay. I have found selling cars privately I have always got more calls approaching the weekend.

It all depends on your situation and if you are committed to buying something or looking to import something. How much difference will a few hundred euro make to you versus a quick sale. If it was me I would probably hang tough until after weekend and possibly reduce to €6950.

Thanks guys, new car bought so would like to shift but won’t let it go for silly money.
Got a text today “ Would ya take 5k for the car ”
Erm... no

Hi,

I'm going to be listing my own Alfa 147 for sale soon and I'm looking for opinions on what it might be worth.

Its a 2008 Stromboli Grey Blackline Edition. Just shy of 150k KM on the clock. 1.6 Petrol. Serviced with TI Autos. Will have 6 months Tax, NCT till November (not an extension) and 2 new front tyres. Nothing majorly out there in terms of spec. 17in Alloys, A/C, etc.

Bodywork is in good nick for 12 years. Blacktrims could do with a touch up to be fair. Engine and gearbox are in great shape. T/Belt and W/Pump done by TI about 15k km ago which was a routine change. This is the 3rd belt on the car. Technically I am the 2nd owner but this was a prereg by Airton Motors to keep it on the old CC tax rate which is 514. New battery in November 2019.

On the other side of the coin, needs a new handbrake cable and front passenger door handle to pass the NCT which I am getting done. It will need new discs and rear pads within the next 9-12 months and a brake fluid change in that time. Bit of kerb rash on the front passenger alloy and driver seat squeaks a little but I'm sure I could grease it if I located the squeak.

Truth be told, I would gladly spend the money on it and run it till the engine claps out. Invest in a few modcons for her. But the sad reality is I've 2 small kids. no ISO fix and not much boot to speak of. When I have to take them anywhere in it, its a bit of a ballache.

Thankfully I'm in no rush to sell so I can sit on it for a good while if needs be. I would feel really raw letting it go for less than 1500 but that could be just the emotional attachment to the car. I'm sure it would shift quickly for a grand but time is not of the essence so I don't want to go low ball. This is a good example and would see someone on the road for many more years to come. That being said, if I'm dreaming, let me know.

Sadly the day has come where I'm going to part with my invincible Almera, her two greatest enemies could not defeat her, sea salt air and precious metal thieves.

PM me if interested, would much prefer to sell to a boardsie, cheers.

Hi All,

Selling my own bangereconomics vehicle.

Car is in good condition given its age and mileage.

Good bit of work done to it during my ownership.

Few faults but nothing major.

Appreciate any feedback on the ad and price. Thanks Mac.

Forgot to add my own earlier today. Been a nice car for the last year, but time to move on.

Exactly a year to the day since I bought it, now want to get back in a 4wd.

And yes, I know the asking price is strong money, wiggle room in there

My wife's Qashqai is now for sale as I'm working from home and she barely drives so don't need two car.

Not really sure what to put in the ad so would love some feedback.

I'd go away and take some proper photos in the daylight instead of ones you happened to have on the phone. It's a €30k sale. Half of them make it look like a dealer is selling it.

You're selling a north of €30k car. The photos need to be taken in the same spot, show all of the interior and exterior. It's dealer money and needs to be presented as such.

Wording on the ad is spot-on.
Some of the pics are cut off at the top though. I’d also get rid of the showroom pictures.
Try and get 8 exterior pictures. 4 flat on the sides of the car, and another 4 covering each corner. Basically 45 degrees from each other if you get me.

You need to change this "Remainder of Manufacture Warranty to January 2020".

Thanks for that should be 2021 changed now.

Lash it up on Autostadt FB too, cars shift on that from word of mouth.

Updated nice photo edition

Still waiting for Carzone to update the photos its so much slower than DoneDeal.

As any of you who follow the Bangernomics thread will probably know, my daughter recently moved on from her 1st car
I have now listed it for sale. Ad is as honest as I can be, but if anyone has any questions, please ask
She spent approx 900 Euros on the car and it has done 10,000kms since Feb 2019

SOLD

Any of you selling a car would surely want to provide the car's History Report for a prospective buyer. I have 2 vouchers left @ €10 each if you're interested

https://www.adverts.ie/vouchers/motorcheck-ie-history-check-voucher-valued-at-20-eur/21126667

Buyers do history reports not sellers. A buyer keen to show me a history report would be a red flag.

So I was overly generous in providing a prospective buyer my vehicle history report when asked and should have allowed the buyer to do their own history check? Dang. Could have saved €30 :P

Big time.

Sad to let it go but my little lad now has more machinery than a Sam Plant Hire depot so need a far bigger boot

My turn lads, the Corsa is up for sale. Delighted to have it but with no sight of an office return any time soon, it just makes sense to sell.

Just need to take some fresh interior pictures.

And it's sold... and to a fellow boardsie as his first car, congratulations mate! Safe to say this thread works.
