Trying To Sell 07 GT

RememberMorrison · 04-19-2008, 09:44 PM

I put it up on Autotrader for 24,500 and for 3 months I didn't even get a douche bag trying to drive it, like I did with my GTI. I think it was because of the high number of dealers posting on autotrader and it got flooded. Between my brother and myself we have bought and sold at least 10 cars via autotrader.

Thanks!

I sell and buy stuff off craigslist alot. I just got a new huge house with my friend, so we are buy a lot of furniture off of craigslist. I have sold all sorts of stuff. Guitars, subs, furniture, gym stuff.

I never even had a bite!!!! WTF! I edited my add and removed anything mentioning mods.

i think it might have something to do with the fact you can buy a new gt for the same price people dont look at mods they look at price

Mods actually lower the value of the car...

RememberMorrison · 04-22-2008, 03:35 PM

Yeah, I think I am just screwed and won't be able to sell my car unless I take a huge price hit.

06RedfireGT · 04-28-2008, 11:38 PM

Why do you want to sell it?

Well I was seeing if I could get a bite, I bought the car dirt cheap to begin with. I was seeing if I could sell it for about 25,000 but the market is just flooded with them. I wanted to either purchase a tacoma and a new bike (Yamaha R1) or just drive my 85 325e and spend about 5-10K beefing it up (93 M3 motor with everything else needed rear end tranny etc). Then investing/ saving the rest of the money.

Yeah, now is not the time to sell that car. Like you said the market is flooded with them. People are dumping everything for little fuel sipping rice burners. You chances of selling are small. Unless somebody who knows what they are talking about comes along, I don't see you seeing much attention.

I've only gotten two responses and both were scams. I haven't even had a 16 year old try to drive it yet!!! When I had my GTI on autotrader I had way to many people who wanted to "test drive" it to make sure it wasn't broken. I had to turn down a lot of mexicans, no offense, but I had about 7 teenage mexicans try to drive it.

Can I drive it? I'm white.

Also can I finance it through you still? ty
