the time has come to say good bye… ahead of ordering an S next month! where do you go to sell your cars? i have always been a fan of autotrader.co.uk, but does anyone else suggest somewhere different?
Pistonheads is probably the natural choice for selling performance cars, plus it�s free, so why not; if you�d asked me two days ago what I thought of autotrader though, it would have a distinctly negative tone, past experience selling my mums last car resulted in endless phone calls to the office complaining about an endless string of problems, it was so bad that I had the managers� numbers memorised!
However, yesterday we put my brothers car up for sale (just on the internet this time), and today we had three phone calls (not from canvassers ) within the space of five minutes!
In short, my advice is stick to the web, it reaches a much wider audience, and from talking to dealers, people are prepared to travel if it means finding the right car, and that, more than anything, is why I�d try the net first.
Best if luck with the sale .

PS. Parkers seem rather harsh with their priceing, that said S2�s seem to be proving rather hard to shift at the mo, that super cheap orange one hung about for a bit, and that yellow soft-top thing has been around for months…
Got to say this but you could not time it any worse than now for tring to shift a ‘summer toy’
This time of the year is great to buy though
Have to agree. Alot for sale on Piston Heads and not many shifting unless priced right…I had one offer on my 55 plate of �23500 and mine has only 3000 miles on the clock. Piston heads is OK but Top Marques is better as reaches a bigger audience…Good luck with the sale.
ive had mine on pistonheads at �23995 and ive not had one call or email. its black, a 55 plate, touring, a/c & 2bular although has done a few more miles than yours.
Market is dead good luck with the sale though.
Good luck with the sale mate. I am from Edinburgh and have noticed quite a few Exiges for sale, after a black touring myself with approx 10k miles and FLSH. Anyone got anything similar let me know You got a link to your for sale ad Andy?
waz, i wouldnt discount a car just because it doesnt have FLSH, most specialists offer a far superior service and actually take pride in what they do.
If you fancy a test drive of mine feel free to get in touch.
cheers Ed
I don’t discount it as I know dealer servicing can be rubbish! I am just thinking from a resale point of view You car is exactly what I am after but wanted something with a bit less miles. Thanks for the offer though, did a test drive up at Murray Motors and loved the car. They have a Black 06 facelift model on a 55 plate with 10k miles, but 27k is a bit pricey! Saw a black one down London, 10k miles 2005 touring, advertised at 24.5k and was willing to take 22.5k but it sold just now as I was taking too long trying to shift my rx8!
thats a deal, a steal, the sale of f%�king century!
but seriously, bad luck missing out on it. I had feared that the car wasnt helping my chances of selling.
If your not already on SE you should join up and say hi!
Good luck, cheers Ed
