tooquicktostop Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Getting back on your feet is the most important thing, if you need the cash sell, if you can wait a while I would as TT's like yours are not going to sell at the moment unless it is put up VERY cheap Best of luck finding a new job, I know how you feel, its not nice at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john karl Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 I know its a bad time to sell that is why i can't make up my mind ,but if i decide to sell what do you think it will go for ,thats what i need to know ,but thanks for your concern--Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tooquicktostop Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Would need a bit more info on the car but I would say 5K is about right if you want it sold, worst thing is it may need to be less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john karl Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 5 grand is what i thought ,and again,if it was in the summer and there was work for everyone ,the sun would shine and god would smile on everyone, it would be worth a lot more , but once again the devil has past wind in my face ,and i have to put up with it ,and oh my, it really does stink,but still not sure what to do,and i do appreciate all the help and concern---Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I would try to sell as soon as possible rather than leaving it till you really need the money and having to make desperate price drops to get it sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john karl Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 had a pm offer and it was very low , so i might just keep it and leave it off the road, until the winter and Christmas is over, unless someone wants it for 5.5k,did the cheeky edit monkey jump in there somewhere,lol, i did ground works for a living,but there might be a light at the end of the tunnel,we will have to see,as for three grand on Christmas day,do you think that i am a Santa that carries gifts,thanks but i don't think so, as for pictures pm me with your email address and i will send you a picture of what part of the car you want photographing, thanks for all the concern and help, it's a good club thanks --Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, does 'ground works' apply to the building trade or to garden design and external property design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john karl Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 concrete, drainage, block paving ,flag stones,foundations,etc and, i have beaten anorexia, as well as the man in the picture lol , as for pictures i have tried to upload them at my garage, but it says that the pictures are over sized and as i don't know how to make the magic 5000 requirement and haven't proceeded any further down that road.Still like the offer of three grand on Christmas day, found that very funny indeed , cheered me up no end, thanks for that ,if you can make someone laugh it is worth a post 100%, lucky i have a very understanding wife and she says its up to me if i want to sell it as she is working and we can manage to get by, so no rush to sell ,even though she won't get in it as she is a scaredy cat, but she knows how long it took me to save the 6.5 grand to buy it, and she loves me so ,lol,she says keep it,and just wait and see, as the times are what they are i am drifting to just moth balling it until a later time when things don't seem as bad, as i was a miner in the strike and you must understand that in those days my wife and i had to eat crows to survive ,we laugh at those times now , but i must tell you that we are a long way from that at the moment ,but i still have my air rifel and if needs must i will do it again so selling a supra hopefully been put in respective- all the best for the Christmas period and don't get to drunk at new year ---Karl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
