anyone had problems with piston heads my mte gave up flogging his elise on there idiots and canvessors phoned him

Don't know really,
I've bought a lot of cars on it, I'm in Ireland so I've never sold a car on it as its mainly used by Uk buyers so no use to me for selling,
You'll get idiots and canvessors no matter where you advertise imo
At least its free, so if you get pissed off you can just withdraw the ad!!
Pity I didn't see yours before I bought mine as I wanted a candy white Gti!!!

Never had any problems, just sold my Audi S3 last week through Pistonheads.  I only had 1 call from one of those agencies and just hung up, but you can use phonesafe as the contact number if you don't want to publish your own number, phonesafe is basicly a server that blocks most agencies getting through.

Pistonheads gave me more feedback when selling my last car than any other forum it was advertised in. :smiley:

DON'T DO IT............ not an mx5!! lol
I wouldn't go from a Gti to one of those!! thats just my opinion  :wink:
If your worried about people test driving your car....... don't let them unless your 100% that their a serious buyer with proof of insurance and a hefty cash deposit

Just to help out on the px value of this going on it being a 3dr is around £11750

if it was mint.

Glass's Book money, £12950

Adjust for over mileage, -£1100

Plus Leather, £500

3 owners - Kicks it for about -£600 as its going to be hard for a dealer to explain why the car changes owner pretty much every year. 

If anyone else ever wants to know the right px price at a dealers pm me an il give you the book price for your car.
