Why has no-one come to see it??!!

[peterrosey]

I need your honest opinion chaps - trying to sell the Cerb (don't want to, have to) but so far I've had nothing. Oh except for one guy who waited until the test drive to tell me he was a banned driver... (looking at a group 20 car FFS!).

So what do you reckon? Too expensive?

Should I get all the stone chips done so it's mint?

Can't understand it at all, there's nothing wrong with it. Any tips, hints, or ideas?

been honest, green with dark wheels doesn't do it for me, have you got a link to your advert? I would possibly think about getting the wheels resprayed to standard colour.

DOes it for me, how much ??

[Hughesie2]

Is it this one, if so its got different wheels to the one in your profile ??

The profile one was a photoshop image to see what spiders would look like - must change it...

As for the wheels for £200 they can be any colour a buyer wants, so I can't see people being that short sighted?

Sounds good to me, now if i could just get rifd of the 500 i'd have it off you :scratchin:

On another matter, what is the make of kiddie seat you have in the back? and what is the age range?

[RUSSELLM]

Quiet time of year in terms of sports car sales, added to the fact that it's only been up for sale for a week.

Have you got it in Autotrader & sprint ?

Nothing wrong with the price IMO, just be patient.

as you are in Notingham maybe speak with James Agger as i think he runs a no frills broking tye service as well as his full sales operation. Or talk with Rob Ingleby to let him know it is available and to bear it in mind if he has somone looking for a Cerb. I know when i was looking to buy one, knowing very little about them apart from the fact that they looked great and i wanted one i wanted reassurance that came from buying through someone who had a decent reputation and where I had some element of comeback and warranty cover if there was a problem. I would not have bought in a private sale cos i didn't know what to look for and had done enough research on this site to know that you could do some serious damage to your wallet if you picked one up that was hiding some probs. As it was i still had to spend a bit on it over the following 18 months but warranty took a fair bit of that and James was always available to talk to if i had a prob.Hope you manaage to move it as remember your original post explaining whay you needed to sell - hope you get one back sooner rather than later if that is what you want.

Very slow. Good luck.

[Extra 300 Driver]

Looks good to me, nice colour.

If you need it shifting that quickly thought about ebay?

[TT Tim]

I saw your car at CREAM and it's a beauty, nice interior/exterior combination.

Seems like the only thing it hasn't got is full leather, ticks al the other boxes, tbh if I hadn't bought mine I think I'd be on the 'phone.

PS: What size were those Dunlop slicks you had on at CREAM?

I thought in the real world the 4.2's were as quick as the 4.5's ??

yep to both.

[Cyclone1]

I agree....it's a quiet time of the year to be selling a car. People are out spending their non existent cash on Christmas presents for their demanding children etc...There are also quite a few "nice" Cerbs on the market at the moment, so people who are looking, have a pretty good choice of specifications, so can almost find exactly what they want. Give it a little bit more time..........

[peterrosey]

It's been on sale a week at this price and a month or so at £500 more expensive... and it's been on ebay but only made £10,100! To be honest I knew it wouldn't sell on ebay - it's a victim of its own success and attracts far too many idiots. I did get a kind trader who reckoned it would be worth around £11,000m though! Not that he wanted to nick it for profit or anything...

Anyway it's in Autotrader this week so I look forward to all the tyre kickers, test pilots and banned drivers coming around <sigh>

[Toady1]

i saw this car at cream too, dont let it get you down mate, its a nice car and like people say, its prob just not the time of year...keep to your price as its not that bad imo. If i had sold my car by now id be looking over yours too!

[purpleheadedcerb]

My mate wants one but not until he sells his house. I got my cerb by using a part ex and a small amount of cash up. Seem to be quite a few people doing that. Certainly saved me having to go through the hassle of selling the Mini.

The car looks really nice and priced keenly. Don't think it will be too much longer before you get a bite.
