SupraStar 3000 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Mate, Just buy a cr@ppy little run about and put that beauty in storage for awhile. I really wouldnt want to part with a car like that. On the other hand, I would seriously be knocking on your door if I had the cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 I really wish I could mate. With the ex moving out of the house, I definately cannot afford the loan repayments, + the mortgage + bills etc on my own. I need to get rid of the loan, and the only way to do that is to reduce the money I have tied up in the car. I may have no choice but to keep it though - god knows how that'd happen - but I CAN'T let it go for silly money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted August 28, 2008 Author Share Posted August 28, 2008 Right folks, price won't be coming down anymore, so for those "hopeful" people waiting for me to do it for silly money - sorry! lol I've now figured a way to "delay" my required sale, so I'll keep the car as long as required for a sale at the right price, to the right person. In the meantime, I'm going to try to look after it and improve it where-ever possible - without spending big bucks on mods though! Might sell a few bits from it (bling stuff) and I'm going to save/work like crazy to pay off the loan without selling the car. The car is still up for sale if anyone is interested, but only at the right price now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 PM me with info on the car and asking price, I'll need to see how much cash I'd get out of it. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Will now also consider a part-ex on a cheap runabout - preferably something like a polo 1.4, or maybe a pug 306..... NO MOTORBIKES THO! I've been offered more bikes than cars now! Would love one, but a) I don't have my license and b) playing bass in a band means I need lots of luggage space for mixers/racks/bass cabs.

Pabs Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Might start removing a few of the bling bits and easy-to-swap bits to reduce the price a bit further... If you want the car, but want it cheaper, we can discuss the removal of some bits to sort it out. I have original aerial, rear wiper, and a few other bits that could go back on.

Dragonball Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Paul - why make it less attractive to someone? It is a great machine and if it has not sold it is because there is no-one out there at the moment. Price is not an issue if no-one is buying? Keep the car and wait until the market gets better (which it will!) ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Keep the car and wait until the market gets better (which it will!) ... I understand your comments mate - but as it turns out I now cannot really wait. The ex will be moving out of the house in 2 months time. I need car to be gone, so debts can all be paid off, so I can have a fighting chance to be able to keep the house on my own. I need to sell - I want to say I'm desperate - but I'm not THAT desperate to drop the price silly-low..... I just need the most chance I have of saving up for the inevitable £££'s to be thrown at the split-up. If I can essentially get the same overall cash figure by splitting the car up a bit, then I can't see why I shouldn't. Not everyone is a fan of bling under the bonnet it seems.

JamieP Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Rent a couple of rooms out and keep the car:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgtX80 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Im in the same boat as you, no one is buying at the moment. Mine is priced at the low end where TT's start with all the high mileage ones & im yet to have 1 call about it, despite being extremely tidy & low mileage & even a guarantee against breakdown. Advertised it 4 times now on autotrader, currently at £2500 less than i payed. Prices on these cars seems to have nose dived over the last 6 months & i guess people are having less to spend on cars & such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Rent a couple of rooms out and keep the car:) How rich do you think I am Jamie, eh??? Couple of rooms? I'd be lucky if I had more than my room + a box room...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Ok you move in the shed and rent the house out:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Ok you move in the shed and rent the house out:D once again I state - how rich do you think I am? I can't afford a shed, nor is the garden big enough for one! EDIT: Ok, perhaps the garden will fit a shed - but I'd have no room left to call it a garden - more like a small patio area big enough for a few people to stand on. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You see - Rent out the shed, the house, the ex-missus and move in with Jamie... Think outside of the box (es) !! Anyway - he will be changing his car soon - must have been a couple of weeks now - so his garage will be free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pabs Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Another day, another few dreamers! If you're not in the UK - make sure you understand the price is UK pounds £, so you can calculate the exchange rate before bothering to enquire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 Guys/Gals, What can I do to get more people interested in my car? I think I'm now likely to be put between a rock and a hard place regarding finances, so need to sort it pronto really. Dropping the price hasn't really interested anyone, and I can't really afford to go cheaper anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Do you have it on pistoneads/ ebay/ autotrader? Also at the right price consider anything as a px, ive had some good deals on px's over the years that ive made money on. good luck with it.

Pabs Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 thanks mate. It's on PH and autotrader - already done 1 round of ebay at the beginning but kinda gave up on that idea as the cost vs amount of interest was not worthwhile. I've got to pay off my debts - and I need to find a lodger for the spare room, otherwise I'm 100% screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
