Moving abroad this weekend. Was selling my Honda Accord TypeS, put it in Autotrader for a two-week stint and 24 hours later it was sold. Who says the market is slowing down?

The car was book price.

Odds on

A car is always only worth what someone wanting one is willing to pay.

Glad you found that person quickly.

worley

Looks like it's gone to a good home; there were no more questions after the test drive

Aye, soon as I gave a price on MRC for my RX7 it was gone within the hour... Well, deposit straight into paypal for it and collected 2 days later

Same happened to me. I had it on here quite low... slapped it in Autotrader at full asking. Guy came round the next day, bought it cash

Left the ad running and didnt get a single other call lol.

Talk about lucky

worley

Thanks for the messages, off to Lyon indefinately - got a job with our parent company. The car was one of the things I hadn't sorted, another thing crossed-off the plan

I was chuffed when I sold my scoob in January. Put it on pistonheads Thursday afternoon, got an e-mail saying can I come and view it Friday morning (I must admit I thought yeah yeah bet you never turn up), anyway he turned up at 8.30 am and bought it Was even more chuffed as I got a grand more than what I was expecting

The best thing was that I hadn't washed it for about 6 months and it was minging and my mate said I would never sell it like that so he had to buy me a pint after that

Tam the bam

See I told you it was worthwhile wearing the leather miniskirt and tight low cut top

went into my bank a few years back to withdraw 5k, asked for mixed notes 50's 20's etc, did notice the nipper getting confused counting


got home and counted it was 6000 !!! i kid you not


funny enough i had a call from bank about 5 or 6 pm it was the nipper pmsl, he said did he give me extra? i said erm dont know mate as i handed the envelope straight over to buy a car. poor chap prob had a right rolloking and to be honest felt guilty but **** it it was a robbing barsuard bank.

My what a nice honest chap you are. In fact aren't you the same person who has cropped up on scoobynet as not being very honest

Maybe I have you confused with someone else, but what comes around, goes around

Best i did was, had an astra for sale for a few weeks at £1500 with no joy
so re add at £1000 for a quick sale

this guy comes round to test drive it, and said will you take 1400 for cash ( seen the old advert )
so i had a little hum and an arrr about it, then gladley accepted
