R36 wagon - easy to sell???

[reverseworm]

Hi Everyone,

It's time for me to sell my R36 and just wondering what experiences/views people had regarding the ease in which (or not) it is to sell these cars. I have found a replacement vehicle that I am about to put a deposit on, but a little part of me is nervous about selling the R36 in the deflated used car market. I don't want to be 'stuck' with it for months and months.

Difficult question I know but how well are second hand R36's selling?

Mine is a novated lease and I would be looking to sell it for basically the payout figure which might make it move a bit quicker. Best thing is to put it on carsales I know, but would appreciate some words of support before I take the plunge on the next car.....

FYI - my car is an '09 wagon in icelandic grey with 54,000kms, sunroof, sat nav and auto tail gate. Looking around $48-50k. Still under new car warranty.

well, evidently not that hard to sell. Deposit taken

Thanks Jayse - can't tell you how much I am gonna miss this car. Really don't want to sell......

[sloutch]

LOL! It's fast because you priced it really low. Care to share how much you sold it for? PM me if it's convenient.

I knocked a couple of grand off, so it was a really good deal for the buyer I think and I covered the payout figure so win win I guess.

Have a good product, and price it right it will sell quick.....as you have done.

Just sold our Family Pathfinder before it even hit carsales.

Had a great product priced it at the bottom of the market....done.

There is something to be said for a quick sale even if you do reduce the price a little. The amount of calls I had and people wasting my time - hate to have it on the market for months and go through that all the time.

More importantly, has Rocket maintained his perfect record of not having driven even 1 KM/H above the limit yet?
