£9,000 for a well looked after Turbo?!? Far too cheap if you ask me. Good luck with the sale

Ssshhhh!

Blimey! What's happened to the market! I'm sure this time last year you couldn't pick a good turbo up for under 11000! Good luck with the sale

But its been on for 13 days at £9k and its still not sold

On where though? Just here? Pistonheads? Trader? 13 days selling a convertible at this time of year when loads of people are broke or jobless. Maybe wait a bit yet...

An item is only worth what someones willing to pay...simple as that..!! All very well until you try to sell one,.. the market place is a changing!
Compared to a £30k 3 series BMW which can now be picked up for £4-5k These cars seem to have good residual value

I used to work in a dealers a few years back, and they wasnt interested in anything over 1800cc and out of the norm!! Had a smashing ST Focus in for no money and tried to underwrite it...no one wanted to know..

Its dificult, but in life when selling anything...a house ..a car.. always be guided by what has SOLD and NOT what is STILL for sale Coz it HASNT SOLD... Hope that makes sense..
Good luck with the sale

If it was cheap like some people said it would have sold in 13 days. Its the right price so, as you say, wait a bit, it will take longer than 13 days to sell

Wrong time of year also Market is suffering. But a vx is a unique car and a buyer will pay what he wants to, winter is here so prices do slouch alot.

[Big Dog]

`winter is here` Crikey...!!! when did that happen, i`ve still got ma shorts on ! Gonna get the snow shovel out this afternoon...lol Better tell the boys who are off to Snetterton...put those winter tyres on.. And if you pack the snow up around your tents it keeps the warmth in..

[chrishVX]

[Andy_VX]

[Mafifima]

has the car been sold?
