It's gone. It was a sad parting, loved that car and whilst looking at it parked on the driveway made me smile that wasn't enough, the car needed driving and it was getting a trip to the hospital every 2 / 3 weeks.
The selling experience was a new experience. I put it on Autotrader and got daily calls from opc's, dealers and independent traders/buyers. Strange times, very odd. The price I sold for was more than I ever expected due to unusual world events. What / where next . . . onwards and upwards

I suspect that the situation I encountered today may not be normal (covid / semiconductors / floods in Germany / Brexit). I started with a baseline price from WBAC which was £53,100 (same with Motorway). I put the car up on Autotrader for a plucked out of the air price of £56k. I got zero calls from private buyers. I got calls and offers from all over the country from OPC's, independent dealers and independent (one man) traders/byers I got quite a few ridiculous calls offering me less than WBAC (they can put my Reg in WBAC - why don't they do that and why would they think I would take less than WBAC) (I have a few arguments with them on that question). I told them all that I wanted £55 and I went through a painful process of it creeping up by increments of £100 until one jumped. Not pleasant or easy but DONE.
Good effort and thanks for sharing.Fairynuff wrote: ↑Wed Oct 06, 2021 9:21 amI suspect that the situation I encountered today may not be normal (covid / semiconductors / floods in Germany / Brexit).

I'm waiting until my Macan comes so will follow your lead. Hilarious that they would offer less that WBAC!!!)

Used prices are so good at the moment but until I get my build slot confirmed can't sell mine. Anyone care to speculate when the prices will start to drop?

I can't see used prices dropping for some time yet, not least until the winter is behind us. I would imagine 1-3 year old cars will remain reasonably high until new car lead times some back to some form of acceptance.
I would imagine there will be less and less buyers for 5+ year old cars willing to pay inflated prices in 6 months

Thanks for the info. Interesting. Given the long wait for new cars, I suspect that good quality second hand cars will remain in demand for at least the next 6 months, possibly longer. When new cars become more readily available the second hand prices will start to fall. But who knows when that might be?
