It took me months to sell the type R my missus had. I was determined to hold out tho and glad I did as I got what I wanted in the end.

Come to think of it a mate of mine had a horrendous time trying to sell an ep3 type R. Ended up auctioning it off through a car dealer for £1750

Sign of the times. People out of work, not sure where their next is coming from, or unable to borrow.
Anyone who does want it knows this and will offer a pittance. If you say no they will go to the next person until they get a bargain.
It's only going to get worse IMO before it can get better. Same with housing, people need to sell so buyers have the upper hand.

I had a hard time selling my clio and that was the 1.5 dci. Went for 1900 and had it up for 2100. Buyer originally wanted it for 1500 even though these fetch over 2k still.
People want everything for free nowadays.

I'm struggling to buy a car at the moment with the amount of nobs selling them, went to see one the other day 93 miles away and when I got there it wouldn't start, his response was "yeah it's fine it just needs jump starting" 'what everytime?' "Yeah, it's got an electric fault that drains the battery" 'why didn't you mention this before I drove so far' "didn't think it'd be an issue pal"
Could of strangled the cunt.

Smart motor that.
I am re-advertising the Boxster this weekend. Completely wrong time of year to sell but babies mean needs must 
I dont want to give it away, but at the same time under pressure to shift it to make way for a practical car.

I had a Bora for sale for about 6 weeks at £700. Only had 4 viewings in the 6 weeks and the fella who bought it spent about 2 hours checking it over
