Car sales, baffling.

[Bellend]

So I'm having a clear out recently cira 5 cars and it's quite amazing what some people pay for what and what sells and doesn't sell.

Auto Micra with 100k on the clock, flew away at £1300.

Golf MK4 with 142K eventually sold for £420 but they never picked it up. Gearbox went a couple of days later and along came a tow truck straight away with £380. All I got was certain races of people literally NON stop offering £300 for it with MOT & tax. Literally probably about 30 odd. No interest when offered for breaking.

Chrysler Grand Voyager pretty much no interest in at all other then a guy from Hungary with no feedback wants to pay by PayPal and have it shipped. Breaking it up and today I have a bundle of £320 in notes and there's 3 people coming tomorrow with more notes.

Skoda doesn't look like it's going to sell well other then two mates want it for £500 so that's fine with me.

An auto 1.4 Polo absolutely no interest with loads of MOT and 4 months tax. Relist it with "needs TLC" and it's now sold for £500 with dents everywhere on an R-reg with 98k on it and a heater matrix gone.

There is no rhyme or reason.

Anyone else find this? It seems that if you smash them into a wall or take an axe to some vital part, there non stop bidders on it. The MK4 was dead trying to sell it before the box went and with the box gone had a bid within 3 mins!

This isn't all eBay either!

you will never understand car sales, and why people will pay for certain vehicles.   

 If you think you will ever understand it then perhaps you are in the wrong trade 

We sold a Y reg Corsa 1.0 , 19k from new with full history - £2995.

a BOG standard, not thrills corsa, 3 cylinder.

I only paid less than that for my 06 plate Vectra.

bellend, were do you buy these cars from to actually make a profit, cause i cant see you making much of a profit off the prices youve said there, bar the micra

[Bellend]

Street, Gumtree.

However, the Chrysler wasn't mine, the Polo was my nans, the Micra wasn't originally bought to sell.

The Skoda I walked up my hill one day, saw it advertised and got it for £250. Spent a total of £315.

Golf was off a mates mate.

Some times it just needs the right person to see the advert,

Not long ago I had a Y reg Polo 1.4 for sale, Had a years MOT & 3 months tax, On 60k, The car was mint, Had it up at £1195 & didnt get a call,

The week after I put it back up at £1895 & sold it the same day!!

So far this week I have had 2 calls on an 03 Reg Yaris, 1 Owner from new & 28k on it, Full MOT & will include 6 months tax, The people who called seemed to have a foreign accent & said they would "Come Today with £1500"
