Is it worth trying to sell in November?

[swimmerS2]

Hi All,

As per title really, my MOT is due towards the end of November and road tax is due end of December this year and insurance renewal due in February 2015.
I could SORN her until the Spring 2015 then MOT her ready for the summer Months, what would you do?

[swimmerS2]

Not for the foreseeable future.

[swimmerS2]

Yes as have held off for another year but due to monies owed to family thanks to my divorce she needs to go.

[swimmerS2]

I probably won't MOT her at the end of November and will SORN her when my tax reminder comes through in January, keep her insured then MOT her in the Spring.

[swimmerS2]

I have used her all year year round and has passed every MOT whilst in my ownership.
If I MOT her in November then when I come to advertise in spring 2015 it will only have 6-7 Months of MOT left.

Thanks all, helps to talk, will keep her on the road till Spring

Looks like a charge to advertise, would prefer to sell asap, we shall see, it will make an ideal introduction to TVR ownership as they say.

As Mike says, nothing to loose by trying it now. If you just get one serious buyer, its worth it. If no one calls its just an insertion fee to have tried.

Hi Mike,
Once MOT is done I will advertise it and see what happens.

Have I done the right thing... Lovely dry sunny day today as well !!!

Wheres's the classified adverts ...

That was a quick sale Mike!
I know I will feel the same once I advertise her towards the end of November, if I have no interest then I will use her for another 5 Months then advertise in the spring.

Paul , I hope you get the interest and result you really want, which ever that may be... I have just been out to the garage, just a big empty space, but there is still a hint of that TVR aroma hanging around ......... :

Thanks Mike, when I purchased mine about 7 years ago I sorted a few things that needed attention like the bulkhead bearing, steering rack and new tyres oh and a new battery then just drove her even in winter although avoided the wet roads.

When the divorce happened I had to keep her outside for a Month before getting a garage again so my Girlfriend bought me an expensive storm cover which is designed to fit the s series so that will be included.

I might still have a run out to the odd meet or show in the Micra!!!
Take care

Paul
