Mike Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Can anyone offer me any feedback on this advert please? Is there something obviously wrong with it that I'm not seeing? Still too pricey? It's difficult to gauge what the car is worth... it's *immaculate* hence the starting price. I would really appreciate your comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistertwo Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 The ad is well written, didn't leave me with any questions - so that's all fine. Personally, others may disagree, I wouldn't pay 3k for a N/A auto - I know it's a facelift and very tidy but for between 3 (if you're lucky) and 3.5 you'd be able to get a manual facelift. Just my thoughts for you. Josh Edit: Just thought - maybe some interior shots would work nicely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I think the ad and the price are fine for the car. Certainly isn't overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thanks bud. I've dropped off his site a bit of late so I have no idea what they go for... what would you price it at? I'm relocating to Central London so I literally need it gone.. whatever I get for the car is going towards a bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertwo Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 If you need it gone I can make you a silly offer right now Price wise, I'm not too sure actually. I think it'll be a case of finding the right person who wants a really clean N/A (me) auto (not so me) and doing a bit of a deal with them. If time wasn't an issue, I am sure someone would give you three grand for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I don't think I'd go back to a manual. The Supra Auto box is particularly good btw (as folks on here will vouch). I've driven big Audi's and Marc's with auto boxes that were nowhere near as responsive and user friendly as the Supra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 This is worth £3K all day long to the right buyer. I imagine most people will pick up a pile of shit for £2.5K and then spend £500 in the first few weeks when they realise they have bought a car that needs plenty doing to it. Just hang on Mike and certainly don't drop the price. H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hang on Mike and certainly don't drop the price. H. Thanks H, really appreciate that As anyone who knows me on here will testify, I'm not a mechanical guy, so *all* work is done by Toyoda tech (all ex-Toyota mechanics, they only work on Toyota's) and any advisories I've had as a result of a service or an MOT have been dealt with there and then. If something needs doing on the car, I don't mess about, it's been my baby for the whole time I've had it! I have all recipes, MOT certs, Private reg cert, user manuals for the stereo/alarm etc. all in a file. When I bought the car I had Toyota Chichester check out everything on it and give me a break down of any work needed - it came back clear, and I still have the documentation. The car has been serviced every 10k miles since I've had it - 2 'A' services, then a 'B' service (all fluids/oils changed) repeatedly. There is literally no money to spend on this car - even the brakes and tyres are new!? Thanks for the feedback, I was tempted to drop the price again to get a quick sale, but I'll hang in there a while longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 So... the guy didn't turn up.. he was based in Bournemouth and I think Portsmouth was a bit far for him to go I had a call yesterday from someone in the 'trade' who offered me £2500. When I said the price is £2995, so he would have to come a bit closer he said 'no I can't mate, I'm in the trade'.. and then went on to say he wouldn't be asking me for a warranty with it?! err... Private sale?? and I won't be knocking £500 off just because you're in the 'trade', and there is no warranty here, I'm not a garage?! So back to square one... BUMPSKI!

Perhaps he gets a nosebleed if he goes east of the Isle of Wight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodalmighty Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 This is exactly the spec i'm looking for in a a few months time, but in Black. If you still have it in 2 months I'll consider a silver one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
