Pre For Sale Pampering

Post by Pondrew » Tue Mar 02, 2021 9:02 pm

Just seen your car on Autotrader. Excellent price; someone's gonna get a very good buy there. :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Yep picked up the car late yesterday afternoon from Sytner after having an MOT and brake fluid change. I thought I may as well get it listed so I put it on Autotrader and before I could post the link on here it was sold. I pitched the price competitively as once I have made my mind up to sell then I don't want a car hanging round. :thumbsup:

£10,995 and that's pretty much what I accepted. It's a very nice example. I have been watching the market closely and felt that was a fair price in order to move it fairly quickly

Indeed, shifting it that quickly it was obviously pitched very competitively :thumbsup:

An excellent attitude to selling. You obviously did all the right things, as the quick sale proves. :thumbsup:

I have been looking for another car for a while and have studied literally hundreds of adverts. Almost without exception, the adverts alone have put me off; common lines like "it doesn't get enough use so time for someone else to enjoy" usually actually mean "I can't afford to keep it so need to get rid". My (least) favourite being "if I don't get the asking price I'll just keep it". What sort of selling technique is that?

That seems extremely good value for yours aswell, from what I've seen of it

I think so also taking into account the expensive upgrades it has that will be included.

For that money, I would seriously consider buying it and then flogging the one I've just bought. What's the mileage? :)
I saw some photos of your car on a recent threads, but can't remember where.

It was a pleasure. I am sorry but the purchaser has confirmed his intentions with a large deposit and collection is now scheduled for tomorrow.
