i know there are alot of people out there selling a car and finding it difficult to get cash buyers ! i havent really tried hard to sell i suppose but my car has been put on most n,i websites with no interest. is there no one who has a family sports car interested in swaping for a 3 door sports car anymore , i dont understand is it just me i havent had any offers ...or do people know im a fussy cnut and not bother ,, i actually wud prefer to swap for the right car ..saves me being without transport

Wouldn't worry too much about dropping your price either... as you will be able to bargain over the car your going to buy anyway

Ferrett I had to drop £1k on my CTR to actually get it sold. That's the difference between it sitting in your street forever more and getting it sold... there are cash buyers out there but they are very canny and know that they don't have to pay as much to get the cars they want.

As they say, it's only actually worth what someone is willing to pay. And in today's market, that is a LOT less than it would have been 6 months ago. The good news is that I got my 306 almost a grand cheaper than what it was worth 6 months ago.

Click to expand...

The good thing about the drop in the market is that once you get yours sold the new car you want to buy will also be a lot cheaper that it would have been 6 months ago! The drop in prices is really only of benefit to first time buyers and those with enough money to buy another...its the same as the property market!
