 Topic: secondhand car market - is it quiet?Posted: 06-July-2006 at 15:05 |

Folks,
What are you experiences of selling cars lately? I have had my Z3 up for sale for 4-5 weeks (carzone and CBG.ie) and haven't even had one call, not even a time waster or canvasser (and yes the number is correct) the price seems right to me, its the cheapest '02 car advertised and is at least 3 grand less than main dealer prices. I am suprised that I have had no enquires. My last Z3 was a 2.8 which I thought would be hard to sell yet sold straight away! Any thoughts Jon |

my 2002 ti is up for sale too. 2K cheaper than anyone else private and 4K less than any dealer on carzone. No calls either. Pity, cos it's obviously a great time to be buying!

Tell me about it. I've had my jeep up on carzone for 3 months. Only had my first call today. Timewaster. Maybe a lot of people are waiting for their SSIA's to mature rather then borrowing all the cash.

I was advertizing a soft top car for my sister fromlate May. Put it on Carzone, Sunday Times, B&S and a run in the Irish Times. Had a couple of calls in the first few weeks on Carzone and then absolutely nothing, even after a couple of price cuts. The price was fairly right and the time of year was right, but no joy. With the sun shining of late she has changed her mind and is keeping it. Will test the water soon with her other car, an e46 328i Touring. I did have one guy wanting to know if she'd take a Mercedes E500 as a part ex! Can't imagine there would be a queue around the block for a secondhand one of those! Edited by Dergside |

Its become the general attitude for Irish people to go to UK to buy without even looking at whats about over here. Its killing the market.
Personally, I prefer trying to keep Irish money in ireland. Edited by Rapidude |

My wife is trying to sell a Citroen Picasso (2002), and her business partner is trying to sell a 2004 X-Trail. They have company vans on order. Not a single call for either, in nearly 2 months. It's obviously the SSIA's. I think people are thinking that they can buy a new car, instead of getting a used one.

Redbag - in fairness, 6 weeks isn't a long time for a car like a 323Ci so don't be disheartened. The market for bigger engined cars is relatively small so it can take a while. What you usually find is that its all quiet for a while and then, a bit like waiting for a bus, you get several potential buyers at once. You only need one to buy it.

Depends on the car. My mum sold a '98 Toyota Corrola in 2002. She put it into the Irish Times for 1 issue. It was sold, paid for and gone the next day. Edited by flyingalexf68 |
