Hmm I think you have undervalued it, I think £5500 would be more like it
Registered, MOT'd with 12 months & low miles, looks well sorted. Paint finish is a very minor issue on these cars as it can be touched up
with a can.
I'd say that's priced right for a very quick sale, you could defo make more of it if prepared to hang for a while, unfortunately people are
like sheep & won't see the Kent engine as a bonus, best selling season is heading towards its end, depends how quickly you want to sell.
I would agree, for many people the paint isn't really an issue as long as the car looks fairly tidy from 10 feet away
If that was mine I'd be totally delighted with it, sadly I can't cough up even the 4k for it
… well this was spectaculary unsuccessful it's on Pistonheads
- anywhere else that is good? Autotrader? Gumtree? Exchange and Mart?
Avoiding ebay for now - anyone have experience of selling a car there, what are the charges?
amazing you are struggling to sell it, perhaps you left it a bit late in the year, if you can I'd hold onto it till spring
a few observations -
1) paint the headlights black, the rusty chrome looks awful
2) get some matching red model paint and a little brush and touch up all those paint chips, cost a couple of quid and will make the car look much
better in the photos
3) don't say the paint is bad, just don't mention it
4) don't say you hardly use it , more "will miss it hugely super fun car with pure seat of your pants motoring!! All the thrills without
the cost! its a total bargain!! "
Ebay sucks btw, they charge heaps for commissioning, gumtree is far better
