Hi,

Can you help me put a fair price on my coupe. It is time to sell as I no longer get enough use out of it as I now go to work on the train.

I want a quick sale but do not wnt to let it go for silly money.

where is the car and how much do you want for it?

£4 -4.5k maybe, with that good history and no work seemingly needed to be done on it

Depends how quick you want it to go

The car is in Leeds, West Yorkshire. I'm not sure how much I want for it. It is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. From what JimO says I should be looking for 4k - 4.5k - so I think if I put it up at £4,250 and see what happens. I know I paid and have spent a hell of a lot more than that in the 2 years or so that I have had it, but that is the joy of owning a sports car I guess

How many owners has it had? Is it modified or standard?

If you are in no rush to sell, put it up for a higher price and see if you get any sniffs

Ok, so where is the best place to advertise?

I will post up in this forum first - this is where I bought the car from about 2 years ago and I would much prefer it to go to a member.

But if I get no joy then is autotrader better or is ebay better. I am going to pay for a full valet soon so the car should look lovely.

Here

then pistonheads / autotrader

If it's a good one, it should clear from here

and maybe say who you bought it from, as people may know it, if its was a regular car, that can help with the sale.

It has had 2 former keepers, last keeper was a coupe forum member and he looked after the car well, as I have.

The car gets very very little use and so it has to go - in that respect I would like to sell it sooner rather than later.

Sorry, missed your other question.

To the best of my knowledge the car is standard.... so a blank canvas for all you crazy lot who love to tinker with stuff

OK, as soon as bobbs grants me access to post on the "for sale" forum it will be going up here at £4,250. I haven't taken any photos yet or had the valet done but I will soon.

If anyone reading this want to make me an offer before it goes up then reply to this or email at kelly at walkerk45.freeserve.co.uk.

You might want to try sending a pm to Nigel instead as Bobbs and Scooby are a bit busy.

Good luck with the sale, someone will snap it up!


ps. get rid of the @ symbol and replace it with *at* or you'll get spammed
