Advise - selling car

[jambojones10]

Hi, can anyone offer any advise on why my car isnt selling? Had a bit of interest but nothing this week. I think it is well priced and a good spec that would appeal to alot of people. Thought i would sell it easy?? its bin on autotrader, pistonheads and a few other forums. cheers in advance...

dunno sounds cool, u got pics of it

 

[cordobabrendy]

instead of having a link to the pics, why not change the code to include pics on the thread. Id change the title to '01 Onvi yellow Ibiza cupra, some people may be looking for cupra rather than 1.8t

 

[R953 VSE]

hell if i hadn't got one already i'd buy it!

 

[exsaxoboy!]

Maybe you might need to lower the price a touch mate. I paid 4500 for an 01 y with 800000 miles, full service history,revo stage 1, supersprint exhaust back in march. I know i got a good deal, its annoying as hell when it comes to selling a car nowadays as second hand cars just dont hold there price anymore!

 

[brad_cupra05]

i think the price is right its hard to find a low mileage cupra with full service history etc, i paid £6650 for mine 37,000 miles full dealer service history receipts for all work done, car had wheels, miltec exhaust, full professionally installed jbl audio setup and a bluetooth handsfree kit etc i think you should leave the price how it is mate just give it a bit of time im sure people will call and like R953 VSE said if i hadnt got 1 i would also buy yours lol

 

[chrisbond69]

yeah keep the price as it is, just put pics up too.. and advertize on flea bay too

 

[karl.w]

price is ok and pics look good stick it on ebay with only a buy it now price.

might let more people see it.

 

[jambojones10]

cheers to everyone for your advise. Have added some pics to the for sale thread, might try it on flea bay

everyone who's got a cupra will tell you that the price is fine,everyone wants to believe that thats what they are worth,and probably are to them, there are quite few on auto trader for well under £6000 and a 20,000 mile silver one for £5700.I know of two others that have sold in under a week when they were dropped under £6000

its tough selling a 4-5 year old car when they are quite a common car now.

its also true that if you wait long enough someone will pay it,just how long do you wait?

 

[jonesya3]

to be honest i wouldnt bother putting your car on ebay at the minute as ibiza cupra's are only attracting stupidly low bids and not selling, have alook on there now as there's acouple for sale and watch them till the end you will see what i mean

 

[AaronM]

I picked my 2000 one up for £4700 with 54k miles. I would expect to pay around 6k for you one to be honest

 

[seli_babe]

Sorry haven't read all the reply's but could be the amount your asking for.. I think that age Ibiza is going to about 4k now.. have you checked parkers & glasses guide??

Aparently Dealers are dying to get them in, as they are in high demand, but they'd offer you about 3k

 

[The_one]

£4k for a cupra, people have gotta be joking.

 

[AaronM]

I wouldnt say 4k for that age, spec and mileage! 6k is about right i would say

Hope link works....

Am just saying what Parkers recommend.. I know it's a buyers market as I'm struggerling to sell my CTR.. and that's now well under what Parkers recommend.

 

[claudefrog]

4k???

you are kidding, that spec and mileage its worth a bit more than that.

parkers is only a guide, not the be all and end all

check out autotrader for a better guide, of through the for sale section here

 

[jambojones10]

£4k... your having a laugh. With the low millage and full history i think it is priced right, i know people say mods dont add value but to the right buyer i think they certainly do

 

[AaronM]

Good luck with the sale then You asked why it wasnt selling, personally i think your slightly pricing it out the market. 6k you would get some interest

glass's guide is generally more accurate than parkers, but at the end of the day, a car is worth what people are willing to pay for it.

i've spent the last few weeks keeping my eye on the cupra market cos i'll be looking to get one soon hopefully and i like to know a market before i buy something expensive!! from what i've seen, i reckon about 6k is a good price for a cupra of that spec right now
