GazzaGSi Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Been keeping my eye on this for over a week now. Shame my evo hasnt sold or I'd already be round with the cash. Virtually identical to my old one which is just what I want. Wish I'd never of sold up last year, havnt found any car to compare to the supra yet... Yes, I know you all told me but at the time I fancied a change Hope it sells for you mate, and I hope it doesnt so when mine goes I can buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 bttt - again on ebay early bids push the price up, but seems to tail off with no bids at the end. Maybe this time will be different?? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 you'd be better off with a classified ebay listing mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 why's that? People don't bid on classifieds, so I don't know if there is any interest at all out there!?! By putting it on at auction, at least I can see what it gets to etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yeah but generally only scammers and time wasters bid on a car of this value. If you put it on as a classified people do still watch the ad giving you an idea of interest. The counter is also a good clue as to how much interest your ad is having. The classified ad runs for a month and is only payable once in that month instead of 4 times. Watchers isn't that big a clue to how much interest there is especially as its linked from here, your mates will all be watchers but will not be buyers if you catch my drift. It'll also cut down on the ridiculous amount of "whats your reserve mate" questions you get plagued with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 thanks for the tips mate. I'm still happy with auction style for now anyway. Doubt the car will sell on there anyway, just thought it's worth a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 No problems chap. I'd have it myself if I weren't stuck in a credit crunch and stuck with a range rover I can't sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 This is so depressing bttt!!!! I need to get another car soon, new job in 4 weeks time, and don't really want to be commuting in this beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Just remember that the money it costs you extra in fuel running your car to work over a cheapy diesel will be gained back hand over fist by hanging on for a good and right price. If you sell in a rush you'll potentially lose a grand or more over what you could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 yeh, I know mate. The house situation is just continually playing on both of our minds, and I'm sure she is eager to get her money and leave, especially seeing the house prices drop another 25% in the next year. I'm holding out as long as possible, but it's hard to figure out how to get people interested if nobody is viewing or talking serious £££. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 If I had a spare £9k I'd buy it off you til you had some cash to buy it back. Unfortunately I've got a range rover too many cars and the aristo is a do I or don't I keep it car. One thing I will say is this. I am now in rented accommodation and it for me is a very good place to be right now with the market heading south. Have you considered selling up completely and renting until next year when it all sorts itself out and then buy back in rather than struggling. Plus side is you keep the car until next year and try and sell in an actual summer? The other point I will make is this. There has been no car, and that includes this single turbo aristo that has come close to matching the appeal of my old BPU+ aerotop supra in black. I've been through many cars and this aristo is the closest to making me feel good enough but still not GOOD. You'll regret selling it you really will and you will pine for it for years.

Pabs Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 If I rent the house out, there is a whole load more £££ involved because I'd need to find somewhere to rent myself, and from what I've seen so far, they are all sh*t-tips and would cost me almost the same cost as it would for me to keep the mortgage myself. (I'd need to get an agency involved because my new job is going to push me quite hard I think) Plus I'd probably need to sell all furniture as I'd not want it wrecked by lodgers, but wouldn't be able to take it with me because it'd all be too big for me. Essentially, what I want to do, is to get the ex out and sorted, and get a lodger for the spare-room. I think I could do it that way and survive quite well. but there is no knowing until i'm there!

dangerous brain Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 No what I mean is sell up full stop now and rent a room yourself till the market drops enough to get back in. On the stock market its the done thing to sell on the way down and buy back in before it goes back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 crap - even worse mate. House has been valued at 30k less than we paid for it a year ago tomorrow. We're tied in on a fixed mortgage, so early repayment fee's. Plus solicitors fees etc.... stand to lose around 45k between us. Not really an option.

Damn - it's already at 7k:( I was going to place a last minute sneeky bid during the last few seconds of the auction but it's already 3k over what I was going to bid:innocent: I'm joking - 5k was my limit /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_grin.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I second that mate. I would take your hands off to get the keys if I was looking for a Supra right now its absolutely stunning. i cant believe no-one has bought it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabs Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 just depressing how everyone loves it, yet nobody wants it! lol I don't think It'll sell on ebay - I recon it might hit 8k but I don't think it'll hit the reserve I've set.
