had a guy come look at it yesterday. Took him a drive. Made all the right noises - asked about money cash or bank transfer. Said he'd let me know last night. Radio silence....

Had another email from a guy asking where the car was - replied. Radio Silence.

I Hate selling cars.

The weekend will bring a sale - if it’s as cheap as Nathan reckons.

I've only ever sold six cars in my life. Only one was a satisfying transaction.

I've only ever sold one car and didn't enjoy it, but have sold one for the mrs and one for my mum and both went quickly for more than I expected to the first people that came to see them :?

I think I’ve sold 4 cars -

Renault 19 16v - sold in about a week off AT
325 sport - sold in 24 hrs from a forum post
Fiesta ST - sold in 3/4 days off AT
RX8 - nightmare took fvcking forever.

The first 3 were very much in demand and well priced, the RX8 was just bad timing.

Of my 17 cars, only two have been p/x'd or sold to a dealer - one was my LupoGTi, the other was the VXR8. All the other have been sold privately, and on the whole, have been successful.

But I've learnt to be massively picky when selling. I try to sell via forums, and filter/vet everyone via email first, ignoring anyone who can't spell basic words or asks stupid questions. So it takes a bit longer to sell, but usually goes to the first seller...

I still hate it though. It's just a massive hassle.

I sold a fucked Fiesta to gypsies once

They paid in £50 notes, gave a very suspect business name and address for the V5, and I never heard from them again

Pretty ideal

Provisionally sold. Shook hands and he's coming back later in the week with the money.

When I sold the 'xige I requested bank transfer and the buyer agreed (I sensed some reluctance). Then on the day of collection he just rocked up with cash. Took forever to count, and I didn't enjoying having to take that much money to a bank. :D

I hate both buying and selling cars, but selling is worse.

I like buying cars, though not when rushed.
