Selling the Griff
Discussion
Hi everyone,
Finally getting around to putting the Griff up for sale now.
I thought I'd go the P/X route, or else sell my Griff to a dealer and go and find a private sale, but first a couple of questions:
1. Can anyone recommend a dealer (or several!) who'd offer decent money for the Griff?
2. Why do none of the dealers' websites that I've visited have e-mail contact that works?!
I've tried the "Contact us" options and usually get as far as actually keying in a message and hitting Submit before I get an error message or my mail is simply bounced back to me. 
Oh well. Any and all ideas gratefully received! Thanks in advance, chaps!

Yep, James is on the case - I'm looking to replace the Griff with a Cerbie so we don't have to leave the baby to fend for himself while we're out on trackdays and stuff. 
But I need to get things sorted soon so that we can go to France in the new car in early May, so I'm just considering my options...

I bought the car back in July last year and it's been absolutely brilliant. The only problem we've had has been with the cold running, which Mark Adams sorted out last December.
I love that car to bits but it has to go so that Junior can travel with us. We've got a Volvo 850 T5 baby wagon as well, but that's not really trackable even with its improved handling kit and sports exhaust and stuff. So a Cerbie it is - unless someone makes us a better offer on an M3 or something.
Don't know about Jaguars though...

SGirl - I work in the motor trade and I think you'd be shooting yourself in the foot selling it to a dealer as they will only give you a trade price. My best advice would be to phone aprx. 5 dealers to get a bid. You may decide to take the highest bid but you'll find that most will offer you 'auction' value.
If you have more time on your hands, definately sell privately.
Another alternative after phoning the dealers is to try selling in a 'Top Marques' type auction with a reserve of about £ 500.00 more than the best dealers' offer!
Only friendly advice but it could save you at least 500 sheets!

"poke" has so many more humerous connotations in comparison with "horsepower" and "torque"...
... even when I'm not dropping a nob gag into the forum, I seem to do it!
