Thinking of selling
Discussion
Time has come to upgrade my car and just toying with the idea of how to sell the car...
I tried once before with a dealer but suffice to say no joy, however I was approached shortly after as a potential purchaser explained he had tried to do a deal but the dealer wasn't interested in negotiating even though there was a hefty margin in it for him.
I appreciate the dealer facilities etc and supposedly peace of mind... but as a seller is this really an issue as you can purchase warranty outside of the dealer.
The Car is a Murcielago, upgraded OEM Wheels, LP640 Brakes, LP640 Master Cylinder, Carbon Fibre door kick panels, LP640 Rear Lights, Tubi Exhaust System, White indicator upgrade, Factory SatNav, Tracker & Amour Guard Paint Protection a Paint detail from KDS also Good service history Main dealer and one Indi. 35,000 miles. recent HROwen Service.
What are peoples thoughts ?
Regards
Mark

The mileage is very high compared to others available which would put most people off but if it is a resalable colour with good history it should sell at £60000 from a dealer and perhaps £5000 less from a private sale
LOL I would love to see one for £60,000 or £65k come to that please advise where I could get one.... The mileage isn't that high.... 3,500/miles per year. It's not about mileage it's about condition IMO. I have seen some with less than half the mileage in very poor condition...and would take a higher well looked after car than a low abused car.
I imagine a dealer would only offer mid £50,000s for it though?
Agree on the mileage working out at 3500 per year but it would still make it one of if not the highest mileage one available and it would have to be priced to sell. But good on you for using it so much though!
What colour is it?

Well to put this into perspective, my Gallardo was offered by a well know Gallardo specialist for a dealer amount of money and had zero interest. I was promised £xx back after the dealers cut.
I then took it off SOR and advertised it privately for the £xx price I had been offered as a return from the drealer... the car sold for that money privately within 48 hours.
I think there are plenty of buyers looking for genuine cars at private money willing to save some £££ by skipping dealer facilities.

Yeah - just ignore this joker - a leggy and poorly maintained 03 car was pulled from Nottingham auction last week even with a bid of £77k (didn't meet reserve) - same bloke was saying they should be £50k a few months ago - since when prices have rinse appreciably! Some have sold even in the high 90's and low 100's recently - I would buy Murcielago's all day long at 60 or 65k !!!!!:-The mileage isn't that high.... 3,500/miles per year.

Surely they will do the same as the Countach and drop to £35,000 and they perhaps start climbing again? But any value increase is years away.
Going by auction and ebay prices I wouldn't pay any more than £50,000 at the moment for a saleable colour car
