Default Lumbered with a car I cant sell

Hello fellow ringers!

As I knew when I bought this Lime V6,it would be a sod to sell,and it is.

If you were me,and had no cash to throw at it,what would you do??

Due to cost of fuel,its now too pricey for me to run.

If someone suggests break it,can they also suggest somewhere I can break it.I can t break a car where I live.

Cheers

Steve

its a nice car but you where looking on pistonheads over £2,500 for it also the mileage was 150k, where i just purchased a n reg 2.6 v6 audi coupe for £1,800 with only 61k warrented mileage, so why not lower the price and maybe you sell it m8 like you say 2.6 with price of petrol, its a buyer market , try lowering your price see what happens its a good car

Thx mate!Yes,she was on for 2k.Ive set myself a criteria which is obviously unachievable.It is this 1) Sell her and make a profit 2)Buy next car with proceeds 3) (Stupidly,)expect people to fork out top money for this car.Its a colour most people laugh at or hate.

Ive lowered to £1850 as ya can see,and now I lower to what?Hmmmm.. A year ago I paid £1550 for her with 133k on.

Its like my last car,the Volvo 480 Turbo,the prices seem to be all over the place for them

What price would you put it at? Im thinking more like £12/1300.

Ill go and dream some more I think,muppet eh!!

Steve

Watch him he's Welsh, and there tighter than a Nuns chuff. He even gets the AA to ferry him around to save fuel!!
