Difficulty selling high mileage cars

Having changed all my company vehicles recently (Mine is the last to arrive even though ordered first - sod's law Big Cry ), I have a 3 year old VW golf estate I can't seem to shift because it has done 150,000 miles!!

It is in great condition, mostly motorway miles, full VW history and runs great.....

cost £18K from memory and no interest at under £5,000!

Seems mileage always scares people off but in modern cars I don't see it as a major issue.....

might have to use WBAC.COM Big Cry

At that price I would just give it to a worthy relative , you will end up paying over a grand in corporation tax , assuming it has been written down to zero value! I've done that with a few of my company cars , as I would rather see them go to a good home than inland revenue take a chunk out of it !!

I think that high mileage cars do limit the saleability and it is unfounded with modern vehicles, but there is always a market for any car at the right price, I have just sold a Disco 3 with over 160000 miles on the clock for a very good price, it took a while but it went in the end. some of my Previous cars

I keep getting people interested in the car who want it......then a day later I get an email that there is some family emergency/other circumstance that means they cannot get to me, can I go to them?

Is this some sort of scam where they bash me over the head when I get there or are they just being lazy? Laughing

3 times now!.......

I keep saying no, it's here if you want it. One guy asked me to meet him in Glasgow Rolling Eyes

Guessing it's the silver Reg **** BOH one on AT

Looks okay car, though the photos make it look dull and uninspiring, maybe if you got it polished and tyres glossed it will make it more appealing and looked after

Just my thoughts anyway Very Happy

Yeah cheers Nick, thought it wouldn't be an issue to sell.......I have had it valeted since photos so may well re-take photos, plenty of interest but no one wants to commit....

Why phone up, ask a load of questions (all of which i give a positive answer to) and then say ok thanks and not come and see it? Rolling Eyes

Glasgow ain't too bad. Arrange to meet him in the Raploch Estate (Gowanhill Gardens as it's more formerly known), then don't turn up. I don't think he'd ask again.
