I am not sure yet but have been looking at the Octavia vRS, i know i will get some stick but whats new and they are great cars to drive!

Might leave them on the car to start with and see what happens, as they might help the sale? How old was the car that you sold on piston heads, my other concern is that people are buying the cheaper cars atm and we might struggle with the sort of value we are looking at. Just want a hassle free sale really

Mine was a 2000 with 78000 miles and a rusty wheel arch, it was one of the last classics. it sold for £4k which i was pleased with as you can pick them up for a hell of a lot less then that now. Mine had great service history so it shows that people will pay more for the right car.

well we need to take some pics I think and get it on piston heads....just need to finalise a price, I just think that maybe 14.5k is a little to high

Our Classic will be up soon when i swap the brakes over. Only 60k, altho we see all the service book stamped etc the previous owner managed to loose it for us... so dont have the proof.... But then we did get it DAM cheap at the time. so if we manage somewhere around 4k we will be happy.

See even YOU want an RS nick.

You're just trying to justify that oil change aren't you

Put it on there for 14500 see what interest there is for a week or two. THEN drop IF you want to sell. It is still xmas so might not be many sales going ahead just yet.

Sounds like a plan to me thanks for the advice....in the mean time if anyone knows of anyone looking point them my way please!

Yeah sold it for more than you actually paid for it maybe BUT a service by main stealer must have put it over that.

Anyone want mine for £14.5k ? £10k miles MY06 STi.

I do think prices have recovered from last year Steve, yours should see you well given a bit of patience.

Nick,

I am really enjoying the golf, grip isn't as good as the scoob, but I did also have all the handling sorted on the scoob. Once I get some decent rubber and decent weather then can push it a little

Performance again is completely different but I love the way the V6 revs and the torque in all gears is great.

Its a more mature way to drive Nick, I'm sure when everyone on here grows up and begins to act their age they will understand

if you are in no rush to sell her, put her on piston heads for a price you want.

you can then gauge from the replies/interest that you may have it over/under priced.

not in a mad rush but will be buying the new car very soon so wouldnt want this one to hang around to long and regret not px it

WRX_Dazza

if trading in, then prob yes, but why **** about when your trying to sell her, surely the more desirable it looks, the better it will sell. no?? after all its about 12k we're talking about here !

Because it gives Stu the opportunity to buy another set of wheels if it was him

All adds up OEM wheels are easy to come by at low prices and the desirability of a car is pretty subjective when it comes to wheels. I think Bright Flitter looks wrong on CGM cars which is why I sold mine on. If your going for the unmodified, unmolested factory fresh PPP sale it's an easy extra 300+ quid I think Darren STi paid c.600 for a second hand set recently, depends if you can hang out for a bit more muller out your car or if you really just want gone.

WRX_Dazza

cough.....Milamber !!

lightweight factory optional extra will add clout to selling...

carlos fandango's with kazzakstan remoulds... might not.

goes back to the days when fords produced xr2's with either wheelcovers or alloys


....kudos sells

We are leaving them on...have had several comments about them in the past so hopefully it will increase the appeal

Range rover sport nice ! but dont get the supercharge if your looking for better mpg i have known of a few friends that have got rid of them after short time because of bad mpg ( look the biz though )

Central car sales reckon they could get me 14k mines a 2006 55plate import from malta . Same colour as yours but with 40k miles on it with full s/h. If thats anything to go by

Thanks for all your advice..put the car on piston heads for 14.5k and before we could even put the pictures up someone rang came and had a look and bought her!!!!

It was TOO cheap then. Glad it sold quick with no hassle and for a price YOU wanted thats the main thing.
