Well on an off chance the wife and I look at some property and talked turkey with a builder about deals and catching us out they actually offered a stonking deal...you know actually recognising the current buyers market for once! Yes, we nearly fell over shocked aswell. Anyway, the wife has hinted rather strongly she would like to take advantage of the deal. Given the circumstances I cant really fight this one, so Ive willingly (ish) put the car on the market. It doesnt get used much at the moment and to be fair we need/want a new house more than indulging my car desires at the moment.

So the car is on the market and there is a willingness to do a deal. As much as I dont want to its time to take a break from car-dom for a while and be Mr Domestic.

And no Im not buying a fking people carrier!

9k seems very good value..

I think if you put it up for 15k you would be more certain of getting the outcome you desire..

If you catch my drift... wink

I really feel for you. I sold my 147 GTA yesterday and it really is a sad loss.

Very difficult selling a car at this time of year though ; )

Demand seems to have gone nuts.

In the middle of buying a house on a sunday afternoon and Im getting calls from Germany and Spain!


Oh and what do we think to receiving an email from a foreign "buyer" and leaving a phone number of 0123456789 ? How dodgy is that?

Sorry to hear that! Not long after you'd chanmged your mind too! Still, there's investments to be made in property atm...

I've also made a very tough decision to sell mine cry All in the aid of developing another car though...

Good luck with the sale; for that price they'll be queuing up!
