are second hand car prices slowly rising??

only ask as tried a web site to sell the scoob 4 months ago. Tried again tonight and they have offered 1k more than 4 months ago.

also on part ex i have been offered slightly more.

 

no, you better get in there quick then lol

 

off somewhere saturday morning if i get up in time to have a look at a mazda.

 

webuyanycar emailed me yesterday after i put the noble details in a while ago for a giggle, first they offered £11500. this was upped yesterday to £13500. They added due to the current climate no-one is buying new and the used car market is booming.

 

i take it u have internet at home again and r u on ere cos the game is crap lol

 

yup prices going up all the time. have also noticed that it's the smaller engined, cheaper to run cars that are really going up in price. the little mk4 fiesta that i have of my dad's has shot up in value. couple of months ago i could have sold it private for about £800 - £1000. now they are at dealers for anything up to £2k!

 

What is it really worth though?

 

about 23k.

 

Thought so, I wonder if anyone actually sells cars like this for those kind of amounts, or are they just outpricing themselves in reverse as they are hard to shift.

 

mine was with buyanycar as well.

To be honest really need to get a family car, so looks like i will be going through them, they use car craft at lakeside.

funny though that buyanycar, which used carcraft, quoted just shy of 5k. Carcraft direct offered just shy of 6k!!!! lol

 

i picked up a 2003 1.6 focus estate 76000 miles just a few weeks ago in good condition for 2500 was 3000 but when u got cash in yr hand in this climate i sld of tried lower lol

 

It is defo worth a haggle with any deal. was gutted when we offered just over 5k for lin's classic all them years ago and the guy just calmly said yeah ok. knew should have gone even lower. IIRC was up for 6k.

 

don't know if they're going up or down. but i picked up a lot of motor for the money at the weekend...
picked up a run around 2000MY 323 BMW (2.5) with manual box 42k miles, metalic paint, leather interior, 6 cd changer, just had full service, 4 new tyres, all for £3700....

 

I agree, my ST170 was up for £4995 in December, I went in to the dealer with £4k in used bank notes and left with the car

 

u can ave my focus and grand for yr scoob lol

 

Sounds like a deal is done.

 

your focus 1.5k and a 5m blurr

 

 

err sorry no kites lol

 

well that's your chance of owning a stunning car gone then!!! lol

 

ive got one lol
the focus has just had six new valves, head gasket, cam belt, spark plugs, all fluids changed, brake pads, alloys, and a full wash and polish so its already gone up to £3500

 

off to see a man tonight, so after 7 years scooby ownership could be all over very soon

 

Not before next weekend i hope.

 

oh no matey, no matter what happens the scoob isnt going anywhere before next weekend lol

 

Hmmmm bad move, make a deal on a car, then use yours while awaiting deal to happen, and bingo some idiot slaughters you up the asse or in the side...if you do a deal, do yourself a favour....take it home, lock it up and forget it till` changeover day

 

Kev's stag weekend and spally driving so NOT gonna happen.

 

i didnt drive my car either after someone had put a deposit on it, YOU NEVER KNOW
if he gets a family car you'll ave more room and be safer

 

what happened anyway?

 

nothing, got stuck at work and then there were massive problems coming home.

going tomorrow morning.

understand what you are saying Dan, tomorrow is just to get an idea on what they will defo answer, not going there with the intention of scoob going this weekend....but we will see.
