vr6matt 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hi All,I placed a kind of "testing the water" add in the for sale section and have had very little response! Here it is:http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?126598Is my car shit? Is my price wrong? I thought thats what she was worth Advice AppreciatedMatt (h) Link to post Share on other sites
Seademon 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 To be honest I doubt you'll sell it just advertising it just on here as most people already have 1! You could try www.edition38.com or autotrader is probably your best bet but you can pick em pretty cheap at the moment but if yours is as nice as it sounds you shouldnt have many probs selling it for the right priceI wouldnt bother with ebay because thats gone downhill so much its upside down, mate of mines advertised his car 3 times and people have just mucked him about, people dont turn up etc - crap.

mk3anni 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'd say that was a bit on the pricey side. VR's really don't seem to be holding there value at the moment Link to post Share on other sites
vr6matt 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Cheers for the advice, Yea ebay is kind of like a last resort really.I put it up for £4395, but I want £4100/£4000, i did not want to put it up for 4K as I am sure some twat would offer me 3.5k! I think shes worth it, its a good spec, and low mileage, 52k is barely run in on a VR! I would rathar keep it than sell it for under 4k. Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Guy on here, Coullstar sold a P reg black 5 door VR6 Highline with 55k on the clock and I don't think he got £3k for it. You'll be very lucky to get anything over £3500 on a very good day unless you get very lucky. Link to post Share on other sites

goonersteve 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 I'd say that was a bit on the pricey side. VR's really don't seem to be holding there value at the momentThat is true if selling to your 'average Mr Smith'. However, anyone specifically in the market for a low milage, full history minter like this one sounds, would pay that price in my opinion. I was searching for at least 6 months before i found what i wanted and if i found yours i would def have been interested.It all depends how urgent you are to sell. If it's not too urgent, then i would put it up for £4250 or whatever and just wait. Alternatively you could just keep it, which is BLATANTLY the best option! Gd luck either way mate Link to post Share on other sites
vr6matt 0 Posted July 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Cheers Lee, I may well do that, and just save for something CRAZY in the meantime!As for a highline withh 55k miles for 3k where was I?! lol Thats well underpriced, i just went on the autotrader, and there are golfs similar to mine ranging from 3900-5500, phoned up out of intrest and two of them where sold??!!It appears this other guy got a hard deal, my mate Tony sold his AUTO P plate mulberry highline with 61k, and a dented door for £3500, last week........

vr6matt 0 Posted July 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I have decided not to sell. I think i was suffering from "need a change" syndrome. Nothing else is really better for the money, so I am keeping her, taking on a project car, and continiuing saving, but for something i REALLY want... an RS2 Link to post Share on other sites
