Quick update.

I did a little bit of car shopping this weekend, part-ex value against a 30K M3 and a 29K S5

Anyone like to guess the laughable offers???

13K ish

If it gets that low I'll have it

Does look a very clean car, thanks for the photo's

did you try the dealers for how much off with no p/ex although I know strats pebble would not move on price.

My net is still cast wide and far, but will keep in touch

Great number plate.... which leaves at least one thing I forgot to ask, when in 2005? 05 or 55?

Ta.

Good luck selling. Porsche Cayenne 2022

gone Corris Grey HSE Dynamic 2016
gone Ipanema HSE lux 2010
gone Rimini HSE 2005

It was registered Oct 05, so it's a 05 plate. I keep telling myself 'It's a toy'
But I've broken quite a lot of toys in my time.....

Well....what was the offer???

16k against an S5 from Audi and 17K against an M3 from BMW (both main dealers)

Top part ex offer I have had is against a 08plate S5 from a small local garage. I keep telling myself 'It's a toy'
But I've broken quite a lot of toys in my time.....

Hi merwiz,
did you try either of them for a price if no p/ex?
my net does not seem as wide now, seem to be closing in on a black hse, just the "far" bit to try and get rid of now
Have priced up a N&S wiring harness from Duckworths £150 plus fitting, know the bars seem to be fetching near to £150 on here as well.. Porsche Cayenne 2022

Very good speaking with you Phil and your car seems like a very nice one. Shame you have decided to keep it but hopefully you will have a year or two of fun with it. I managed to find another one, I pick it up this Sunday.

I think I’m going to list this on Autotrader as soon as it gets cold enough to spark interest in 4x4's again.

This will be the first time I’ve had to sell a car privately, as I’ve had company cars before.

Any tips for dealing with the public/buyers??
And what does the forum think a sensible starting price would be??  I keep telling myself 'It's a toy'

Just make sure you read all the tips on the autotrader website on selling your car you will suprised what some people will do to get your car without paying for it Good luck with the sale

I bought a Z4 from a private buyer 18 months ago....

The Gent who i bought the car off was excellent to deal with ... Cup of tea on arrival , discussion about why he'd bought the car 5 years before hand, test drive of the car with him driving all the service receipts and service history in a little file. Car was well presented and clean.

Told me what had gone wrong with me in its life and when it had been fixed.

Even picked me up from the railway station when i came down to pick it up.

On pick up he used the What Car reciept so that he and I both had a reciept of the transaction.

When I drove away from his place I thought if I ever sold a car private i would try and act in the same manner . 2011 MY- RRS HSE - Zermatt -Ebony-Piano .... its a monochrome world

2006- BMW Z4M Roadster -Titanium Silver

Club - Ex Defender & Disco 3

swap you for a 55 (2006) 4.2 supercharged

Just bought near on exactly the same car/spec pm me if you want details! I also have a work collegue who is pestering me to find him a car the same as mine so may have a buyer for you as well! Can you pm me pics and price and I'll pass the details on.

Not sure if my messages are working as ones I know have been received are in my outbox? So you may have/get a pm from me as well!!! Range Rover Sport HSE and for a bit of weekend fun a S1 Lotus Elise with a few track biased additions!

From being a member over on Disco 3 it seems people advertise on there first to avoid the tyre kickers etc.
I'm from over your way and looking at either a disco 3 or RRS.
I've tried to pm but I need 5 posts. Once this is reached I'll pm you.
Cheers

Hi Merwiz,
Have you took your plate off yet, or see what interest you get first?
how much are you going to put it on for ?

Good luck with the sale. Porsche Cayenne 2022

I had a similar experience when I bought my Audi. The guy even prepared a packed lunch for me and filled the car up with fuel. What a nice way to do business
