E63 estate

[donkmeister]

There's an E63 estate on autotrader that has been listed for months. It started at £35k and is now down to £25k. (On phone so can't post link). 5.5TT version.
Anyone know why it isn't selling? Seemed like a good deal to start but now very cheap... I'm assuming there are issues/anomalies not mentioned in the ad but would be interested to hear if anyone has gone to see it.
I'm not in a position to buy it so won't waste seller's time.

It doesn't really seem to be a million miles away, pricewise, from some of the others advertised; the market for big-engined secondhand cars has always been fickle. No idea about the acual car, though.

High mileage pre-facelift from a dealer that hardly shines in reviews.

Price looks about right and I wouldn't even contemplate without a detailed inspection and an aftermarket warranty that is worth some of the paper it's written on.

There are plenty of 2013 cars on there that I suspect you could get for close to £30k if your budget would stretch which look far better prospects. Most have been on there for a while too so must be room to negotiate

Ha ha, noticed this also,

They have a few cars that seem to hang around for a long time on which they lose money.

If you are in the market for an E63 - have you noticed how many Cat D cars are priced at near on retail price compared with "straight" cars. Cannot understand this,
