Im trying to sell by beloved Scoob as its the only thing Ive got investment in. Does anyone know the best time to sell??? It seems you have to give the things away to be able to get them sold. Mine is in the for sale section here, and hasnt had a sniff, and I think it's not at a bad price! I dont wanna start Ebaying and Autotradering the car if it aint gonna sell.

So, anyone got any good advice on how to sell her????

Cheers in advance

 

There isn't a good time to sell any 2nd hand car on the market at the moment. You can normally guarantee a little extra by selling a cabriolet in the summer but we just don't seem to have them anymore

 

The best time to sell a Subaru Impreza was 1999.

That was a looooong time ago

 

Tell me about it!!!!! The market is flooded now with 4k Imports. Oh well, suppose its time to spend a few grand on advertising

 

Nah, advertise it in Ecosse, they usually pull a few grand more.

If you have a franchise, that is.

Good luck mate been trying to sell my 94wrx for nearly a month now had about 3 calls so far and thats with it being in autotrader for a month. i paid £4800 for it just over 12 months ago now i cant sell it for £3500

 

at this time houses, cars, bikes aint selling price it to sell if i was you and take the hit

 

I'd say you might have better look in the winter when the weather's not so good and people want a 4WD

 

The insurance is causing a few problems, especially with the modified Subarus and younger drivers. It seems much more difficult to take the first step into a high(er) performance car and lenient policies are only going to mature and existing customers etc.

Have you submitted the for sale details to Scooby Magazine. There seems to have been a recent influx of potential buyers of late. I also spoke to quite a few at JAE.

When it was also difficult to buy one as well.

as soon as you lose your job ....

 

Things are slow all round right now, no cars / houses / what ever are selling unless the price is really right, ie cheap. I guess now must be a good time in some ways, before the 2006 hits the UK and dealers are stacked out with trade in's to clear....

 

Sell it on ebay - in the last few weeks 2 mates of mine have got decent prices for their scoobs.. worth a go as you can put a reserve on it.

Agree - try ebay, but also whatever price you think it is worth, is probably way too much, espicially, it seems with Scooby's. Knock a grand off and you;ve a greater chance of selling it. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact of 'when do you need to sell and how much do you need to sell'. Decide this, or if its decided for you, then knock money off. And good luck...
