j_jza80 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Trust me, anyone seriously interested in the car will be staying up. If I was in the market for an Aristo, this would be the one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anees Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi guys, Yeah gutted that I didn't get more for it. However, the guy (from Derby??) has rang me to say he is chasing insurance quotes. This is his first Jap Import and he hadn't realised the insurance costs - he was expecting it to be similar to a GS300. On the phone he did sound quite young too which is worrying for his insurance hunt. To be honest sounds like a time waster because he should have done that research first!! Grrrrr.... I directed him to a list of import insurance companies. Said he will give me a call back tomorrow with what he wants to do. If it doesn't sell (and to be honest I won't be dissapointed if he doesn't take it since I am not really happy with the price!) then its going in Auto trader. Every time I put a car on ebay I get timewasters and cowboys. Last car I tried was bought by someone in Serbia!! Oh well.......... all part of the fun!

He got a bargain though, he should be willing to pay that little bit more for insurance! Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 Thats a pain. He got a bargain though, he should be willing to pay that little bit more for insurance! Gaz. It sounds more to me like he isn't even getting quoted! I remember when I was looking for a quote when I first got the car - had to ring what felt like every insurance company/broker in the UK and even then only actually got about 3 quotes; the rest refused.

D8MOA Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 think i paid £1400 tpft for mine? 24 with points and claims lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Anees, I can't believe it didn't go for more , but that says more about the current market than your car. Just out of interest, what are you looking to replace it with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Right.......had to relist the thing. The winner has had no luck getting insured....... and the one quote he did get he claims was almost as much as the car! :o I have put the low price down to me setting the auction to end at the time when most people are sleeping and its a week night. The new auction is only 3 days long and end on Sunday evening. Hopefully this attracts more bidders. Thanks, Anees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anees Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Got a call from an ebayer yesterday saying he wanted to look at the car. Bit unsure about him because he said he doesn't know ANYTHING about the cars at all. I find that slightly off-putting............ I drove the car today for the first time in about two weeks - flippin' heck I am waining! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Supposed to be having two people coming today to look at the car.......... Will see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I thought I better update this. I have been really busy for the past two weeks at work hence why I have not been on here or been pushing the Aristo sale very much. 1. Neither of the two guys turned up or let me know they couldn't make it. 2. Had a guy from Bradford also ring me up to offer me £6750 over the phone; but again he didn't show up to actually look at the car 3. Not heard a thing from the guy on ebay 4. Had a firm offer for the car from a member on another forum, but unfortunetly his car sale fell through on Monday so he still needs someone to buy his car before he can buy mine. The annoying thing is no one wants to come to look at my car - its not that bad! I have NEVER had a car where the first person to turn up has not bought it. I don't want to try ebay again to be honest - fed up of the timewasters, so will try a new Pistonheads advert and put it in Autotrader. Will get there in the end I'm sure....... I have had LOADS of phonecalls about the car but no one seems to be in a position to buy - everyone seems to have a car they need to shift. So far been offered: Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T Mazda RX-7 (two seperate people) Ford Mondeo ST220 (Ryan - good luck with the sale) MKIV Supra Honda Accord 3.0L V6 Coupe I have also been phoned up by a few people just generally asking for advice which I don't mind at all! Some very nice cars offered but unfortunetly I don't want a part exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 I have a mate that may be interested, are you letting it go for the price you thought it sold for on ebay? £5.8k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Can't beleive you've had such a hard time selling this mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Can't beleive you've had such a hard time selling this mate I agree. It's crazy - this is a great car. If this is any precedent to go by, I'd have a hard time giving mine away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anees Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Right............ Looks like the car could be sold. I have had a call from a guy that actually rang me about my car when it was first advertised on Pistonheads a few months back. He has an e36 BMW M3 and he updated to an e46 M3 but actually prefers his e36 - found the e46 driving experience not to his liking - too refined and not as involving as the e36. I actaully talked him OUT of buying the Aristo because he was keen on handing and a more raw feel. What I mug I am! He rang me today and said that he keeps coming back to my car and he has actually just sold the e46 BMW M3 he bought so despite what I said he thinks the Aristo is the car for him. He should be sending me a deposit tomorrow and all being well collect the car on Sunday. He seems a really nice guy and deadly serious about the car so hopefully this works out, but I know a fair few people will hope the deal falls thought while your try and sell yours cars! Fingers crossed this is not another timewaster - I am confident but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
