How easy will it be to sell my Bugeye?
After 7 months off owning a scooby I think its time I sold it as i'm purchasing my first home and need as much money as possible.
I'm selling a remapped bugeye in mint condition and wondered how easy it will be to sell. Has anyone sold any bugeyes recently. I don't want to advertise it for months on end and get the occassional person to take it for a test drive and never hear from them again. Is it worth just trading it in as i'm going to buy a work van with some of the funds or is there a good chance it will sell privately. 02 plate with 35000 miles and a FSSH. How much?
Thanks
Paul

V5 MAN had a good crack at it, he gave up in the end.
Totally agree with the range of pricing, i'm looking to sell my Type R and when you look the prices go from one extreme to the other.
If you want a realistic price your going to struggle but if your willing to take a hit in the pocket then the chances will be higher.

I'm after a Citroen Berlingo Van and they offered me £7500 for mine and the Van is £6300. I will get the VAT back on the van though. Think its about £950. Hard decision!!

Admitedly mines the non turbo, or if it is it's got 6k worth of lag
But i get about 400 miles to a tank, and being a diesel you'd expect more. I know the Vauxhall van's are superb, i had an Astra for a year better mileage and great performance, the Combo uses the same engine [1.7tdi] and it's like driving a car, not a diesel, get down your local dealership and have a test drive, admittedly they are more expensive but if your paying you own fuel costs, i certenly wouldn't look at a berlingo.
The Transit connects again aren't bad, but the best thing is try and get some test drives. if you use it for work then your going to spend plenty of time in it which means it's got to be comfortable, and over all be happy with it.
The Berlingos are cheap, and cheap for a reason.
Now go get some test drives.
......although you might want to leave it till tomorrow as they'll be shut

Have to admit the berlingos are very sluggish vans but really not keen on Vauxhalls. They have not got the best rep in the world. Would love a VW caddy TDi but they are still a fortune. I need to keep my expenses as low as possible.

I have a 15,000 mile 2004 Ford Transit Connect which I am looking to shift now as I closed down the IT business I used it for. Really good nick too as it only had light use!
Just bought a Bugeye which is a shame as could have done a deal, though it's an STI which is what I wanted for the brighter interior and bigger brakes.
That was £9200 54,000 miles 2 owners FSH etc.
Good Van, great size! Reliable and it's an LX so it has CD player, leccy windows, heated front screen etc.
