good time to sell?

After getting my MNR out the garage for the first time this year I think I may be better off selling it now do I wait until next may or try it now not really sure what the market is like any ideas?

Best time to sell, in my opinion, is April.

My last two Westfields were sold in March and April.

If you really want to sell then it has to be now or you'll be coming to the end of the season and there will only be bargain hunters about.
Thing is there's a few cars about at the moment, So it might be worth leaving it until March next year before more cars are advertised for sale ?

Good spec' cars will always sell though as long as they are realistically priced.

Depends on your expectations. If you're of the 'car owes me £21,000 so I ain't sellin any cheeper' mentality, then I suspect you'll be somewhat saddened by the mismatch between your expectations and realistic yield.

Good, realistically priced cars will sell. I sold my Roadrunnner in October last year, very keenly priced, the first person to (actually) turn up drove it away. I had made the decision to sell. Sure, I could have mentioned the 'awsum breaks' and that I'd just changed the oil, 'needed' £18,500 or I'd keep it and sell it next year for £35,000 - but I decided that I wanted to sell it and not list it until my natural death.

So, yep, my experience is anytime is good. A prospective buyer with cash in hand is someone you should covet.

Daniel should know how to sell a kit!! Maybe he could do it on commission

I'm selling mine in the near future, I was going to list it now but thought better of it and am going to hibernate it shortly and sell in the spring. However the MNR seems to have a good market and never seem to hang around long.

If its ready to sell stick up an ad to test the market it wont hurt.

Lets just call it a bag of quavers and 2 packs of minstrels and you got a deal, but only if you deliver

What are you going to do next? I sold a car in early October, as long as you want what its actually worth it'll sell any time of the year.

House move then who knows, I think I enjoy the build more than the driving, prob a strip and rebuild of something full bodied maybe a fury or phoenix or tvr maybe.

How do you price a car there is only 1 of though? It would have been worth more in standard bmw engine guise I think.

Oh and apologies to the OP for the thread drift/hijack

Free bump for the OP!

Not sure how you price it, just the same as the rest I guess? Its got a better finish than most
