Funny thing is i have just had a ring from someone just now and they want to come and have a look without even mentioning price.
Yeh, it was me, felt sorry for you ......




Only joking, good luck! - If I was after another S yours would be top of the list for overall condition. I don't believe I am alone.
Thanks, just seems to me that people don't want to pay the extra for the condition.

I'm sure the guy who is coming to look at it tonight will be impressed, whether he wants to pay the money for it is another thing.

To be honest when i sell my cars i usually price them slightly higher than what i like for it say by £500
so when people try knock down the price i can still get what i want for it
I always asume people do the same lol

You might want to include "No Offers" in the ad if your price is firm, it'll stop people calling who do not have or want to spend the funds and are hoping to knock you down to a level they can deal at.

I talked price first off with mine but that was because it was 280 miles away.

Plus I dont really see the difference of talking price first or coming, looking under the bonnet and pretending you know what your doing and then talking price

Very annoying. I've had it a few times this week whilst selling my EP3 Type R.

Currently buying an S2000. Went to see one on Monday, which was knackered (yet on the phone, there was surprisingly not a problem with it at all!). Cylinder gone I think. was banging like a diesel. That was at a garage called R-Z Motors. Or R-A Motors. In the Hayes area. Black with 83k miles - just in case anybody else sees it advertised.

Going to see one tomorrow evening though, with high hopes!

Put your car on autotrader mate, I always start by selling my car on pistonheads and then get annoyed with the lack of response and the joeys who try to contact you to view and never turn up. Autotrader seems to attract a much better caliber of buyer.

Just my ten pence worth
