Selling a car privately - fun....

I’ve got the 928 up for sale at the mo - not sure if it’s the car or the current state of the world, but there are some nutters and dreamers out there...

I've found that anything which is remotely interesting attracts the nutters out of the woodwork - people calling up just to have a chat, armchair experts who think they can lowball or timewasters with no intention of ever purchasing.

I don't know how people think it is acceptable to waste people's time....

Following a very low offer from a dealer as a trade in, I’m going to have to sell the OH’s Trax privately.

Wish me luck

I would have thought in the current market it'll go very quickly.

Dealers offering old style PX price only to retail it at Covid prices?!

I’m not sure the market for used Holdens is that strong tbh.

I’d already traded in the Calais - they gave me $26k for it (which was more than I paid) and now it is on Carsales for $37k. I’m not bothered as I wanted rid of it and couldn’t be arsed trying to sell it - they’ve had it a month and it hasn’t shifted.

However for the Trax they offered less than I paid and probably about half what it is worth. I suspect they were going to put it to auction rather than sell it themselves which is why the offer was so low.

I’m planning on advertising it below market value but above what I paid and hopefully it will go quickly.

Just sold the Trax using Carsales instant offer.

Got $21k for it!!

$8k more than the BMW dealer was offering, and a bit more than I was going to advertise it at to get rid.

Winner!
