Best place to sell a 55 plate astra coupe??

[sierraman]

Sister in law is trying to sell her 55 plate Astra Coupe, 90k on clock 1.8 pez. Tested until next month, body a bit battered with a few dents etc but nothing too bad? Rough idea of value/best place to punt it on? Tried Bumtree but full of idiots going "swap 2nite 4 PS1 plus 3m waney lap fencing" brigade...

J. Davidson.

[sierraman]

I'm not sure Jim Davidson would want it.

[Jim Bell]

Is it black?

[chaseracer]

Bit unusual for here.

Billy takes anything Vauxhall consider it sold.

At least they won't offer waney lap fencing.

 

Only the great unwashed use gumtree.

 Tested until next month

 

Wherever you sell it the above will be a prob IMHO, unless its really cheap.

 

Try Autotrader who charge £9.99 for 2 weeks for cars listed under a grand

DeeV8 is on the money!

 

I don't know what they're worth offhand, but I do really want one, though as I'm skint I'll probably be out anyhow, unless she wants a random swap.

Stick some pictures up, please, and if it's black or a dark grey colour I'll just start crying or something.

Are these the Bert and Tony Astra's?

I have one for over 4 years now.It hasn't cost me anything other than servicing 40ish mpg.But sorry Billy mine is in resale silver.If you want a photo of mine just ask.

Billy, my neighbour has an Arse-tray coop too.  Pics not a problem.  We're your friends here - we understand your needs, man...

They were the Mk4s, I think. The Mk5 (or 'J' if you like) are the foxiest of the lot in coupe form. Have we got a price for this one, yet?

[sierraman]

Its a black one. Like every other car in 2005. I'll try and get some photographs of it from a distance. At night. In the rain. With part of my hand obscuring the lens.

IMO the mk4 Coupe is nicer looking than the mk5 Sport Hatch. Shame the mk4 interior is so fucking bland.

VXOn or the AON (Astra Owners Network) worth a try. I can't bring myself to use the latter much, since some turnip tried to sell me the wrong exhaust for my car at a meeting, then went on there and had some massive rant about me wasting his time. I did, of course, respond in kind, and I seem to remember he just shut up then.

It's a shame Max Power is no more. An ad in the back of there would have been the best place to advertise the Astra. Prime faux-BTCC Barrying fodder, is that.

Personally, I've never had any problems when using Gumtree.

 

All it takes is one serious buyer and your wreck is sold.

You must have had the only serious buyer on gumtree.

My brother has sold lots of old tat on Gumtree, including an old, smelly camp bed.

 

The old dear who bought it turned up in a taxi to collect it, too.

 

The taxi was a Skoda Octavia.

I bought a mini 998 off gumtree, and sold it 12 months later via pistonheads.

 

Perhaps it was the car, but the owner had only one serious buyer in 3 weeks on gumtree, and I could have sold it 10 times at the same price on pistonheads.
