Is it just the time of year but I cant seem to get any interest in my car... I'm practically giving the thing away and still no bites

 

possibly all the details in your post

 

 

cheers bell ends.

 

if not interest then to expensive, markets flat as a salt lake at the min, what you think is giving it away might not actualy be the case.

more details are needed to tell you

 

Its a 2001 WRX bug eye 95k on the clock and is completely standard. Nothing special but spotless inside and pretty tidy outside. I'm only asking £1600

 

Right, that's it. I was interested in buying a mysterious car but in Dragons Den style IM OUT.

 

ah you must be Duncan then

 

£1600 seems OK - but, it is too close to the price of the preferred Classic ... the bugeye is the very least desirable of all the Impreza's I'm afriad.

But, that said, £1600 is pocket money - has it had the full big service? 2nd Cambelt? FSH?

 

Its got pretty good SH but yeah it could do with another cam belt change. I bought it specifically due to the fact that its the least desirable as I've never liked imprezas but it seemed to have a good mix of practicality and poke compared to the other cars i was looking at. That said its still bloody slow.

 

but without the scotts accent.

Seriously though, it sounds like a lot of car for £1600. Where are you advertising it. Post some links and you may get some advice on wording that may attract a buyer.

 

I've had it up on autotrader, pistonheads, ebay. Pretty much no interest at all. I've bought and sold a lot of cars, usually through forums and owners clubs and have never had this sort of lack of response... shame but I have had an offer of 1500 so I guess i'll have to let it go for that.
It's a bloody lot of car for 1500 quid. If i hadn't just upped my daily commute by 180 miles i'd have kept it.... Crying like a baby

 

As Pete has said, it's just not that desirable and there are loads of classics in the price range I'm afraid.

 

i think its to cheap and putting people off any pics off it i sold my wrx at auction 51 plate for 2800 last year

 

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally wouldnt change my Bug for a classic. but thats me being me, if we were all the same then life would truly be ****e !!

 

Tips to sell on eBay..
Put stupidly big scoop on bonnet.
Stick imitation roof vent on.
Put garishly coloured stickers on.
Paint wheels in a bright green.
Fit loud exhaust.
Paint brake calipers bright red.
Tell porkies about the BHP.
But, the most important mod is to put a Monster sticker on the back windscreen.

You will get a long queue of people willing to part with their readies for the fastest bugeye on the road.

Hope this helps.

 

Lmfao quality post
However this only applies to classics nobody wants to buy a bugeye wrx they are minging

Do the world a favour and break it and crush the shell

 

As nick said a bug wrx for £1600 I would be asking myself what was wrong with it.

I havent seen your ad but give it a good clean and take plenty of quality photos to make it stand out from the rest.

Have you advertised it on here ?

 

Put up some links then and people will give you pointers.

You started off by asking for opinions, without giving any detail at all and then go on to call people bellends. Nice one.

as mentioned, £1600 for that is cheap as chips!
I'd go so far as to say that I could sell that within 4 weeks, even with the way the market has gone.

 

It might help if you put a link to your ad on this thread also??

 

If he puts a link up then the thread would get deleted as he hasn't paid to advertise.

 

Lets be honest, who wants a standard bug wrx with nearly 100K on the clock and in need of a cambelt service.
It's just not a very desirable car which means it will take a while to sell, £1600 seems about right but you've just got to sit on it.
What colour is it as that as a huge effect on desirability. If its red or green then that makes a hard sell almost impossible.
But, if someone's offered you £1500 then take that before he/she changes his/her mind.

GLWTS

 

Good point, but if someone was to find the link and post it saying "look at the wording of this ad" etc. Then it would be fine or so it seems.

There's no problem with posting crazy ebay ads, but someone could still buy the related auto-turd. Don't see the diference really but I get ya

 

Having just sold my 1994 WRX for £1600 I think possibly I could help.
Start the auction at 1p, set reserve at what you want.
Don't mention "quick sale" In fact state your just seeing what you could get.
List everything that's wrong with it, everything you'd recommend doing.
List positives and negatives of ownership.
Then state you could end the auction early if the right offer came in. Stupid offers will be ignored. Find similar cars on PH etc and put a link to their car, for example....
£2989 - http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/c...-uk-car/351075
(Not sure if its the same car)

Hopefully people will then see £1600 as a bargain.

 

A bugeye with nearly 100K on it needing a cambelt is never going to be a hot ticket especially in this climate. Like Matty says if you have been offered £1500 snap their hand off and call it quits. I have a 2001 classic with roughly half the miles which is pretty much iimaculate for the year and I don't think I would see more than £2K for it now. No one wants thirsty 10 year old performance cars that cost an arm and a leg comparitively to keep on the road.

 

Lol that's a great advert right there!

TX.

 

Er are you holding out for £100?!

TX.

 

I got £900 here for you?

 

I sold my STI5 Wagon on Gumtree - she wasnt mint but explained that to the seller

Agreed £3,200 in the end.

Heres my add - http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-m...agon/109668404

 

Why doesn't OP post link to ad so we can see what's missing.
