would you buy a cupra for less than £2,500?

[gmjgreg7]

I've got my car up in the classified section of the site and on PistonHeads and I'm a bit concerned that the low asking price might be putting some people off! The only things at a similar price are ex-write offs!

To be completely honest I know exactly how much I want for it and if anyone offered that I'd let them take it away, but I think if I put it on for any less its going to start ringing alarm bells unnecessarily!

Any thoughts?

why have you put it so low? Is it a high miler? Any problems with it that reflects the price?

 

[turbo009]

Why so cheap ?? Like cupramillo mentioned,is there something wrong with it? Just don't understand why that cheap when you can sell it for more if nothing wrong with it

 

[s1l3nc3r]

as above mate.
but if you no exactly how much you want for it why not put it up about £200 more (aslong as it realistic) anyone making an offer is going to go in about that much lower on there 1st ofer anyway.

Its done nearly 104,000 miles so the miles are above average. Thats the main reason for the low price, but also the parkers valuation is around the £2,500 mark. There's nothing wrong with it, in fact I've taken a great deal of care with it over the 5 years I've had it.

I'd just like to sell it privately so that the dealer doesn't make some money out of it when I part ex it. I'd preffer to let it go for a bit of a bargain price rather than do that!

 

[turbo009]

ok and all the best with the sale mate

ive been trying to get my mate to buy yours mate

ive been trying my hardest lol

 

[gmjgreg7]

Hey Sparky, try a bit harder ;-)

What is your mates budget, maybe we can do a deal!

 

[sparkie1984]

ill ask him tomorrow mate as im off now

 

[cupramillo]

Thats not a silly milage. To be fair, most people who look to buy these cars have done their reasearch so they know the quality of the cars. I dont think i could let mine go for that amount, id rather keep it. I think you can get 3k for it to be honest, screw parks price guide, they dont offer a true reflection of the cars real value.

I'd have a look at what you can get for 3k... lower mileage easily available

i have been very tempted by your car.only down side is the travel! i could swap most of my mods on to your car then sell my current one cheaper.

if i where to do that i would need a loan though...

I've added some more detail to the ad now and looked around a bit more re the asking price, just wait and see what happens with the people who are interested in it at the current price.

I got offered £1500 from one dealer and £1900 from another for our X reg with 85k.

Makes yours priced about right I'd say.

To quote my wife... it's a shame you don't need another car, otherwise we could go & get that tonight.

the price is right, it's not like it's up at £6k like some of the dreamers

 

[bozzzydmc]

If i was looking for one your would be the one...

Thats a lot of nice car for what your asking ... good luck for a swift sale.

 

[sparkie1984]

my mates trying so hard to find some funding lol!!

im almost tempted to buy it at that price although i have one lol) itll sell mate, just dont keep knocking it down as it will sell!!

 

[gmjgreg7]

The interest has really perked up now... whats that you sometimes hear about the magic figure for a car??? Looks like I've found the right price to get people taking a look at it.

Thanks for all the advice and comments, I should have spent a bit more time asking around here in the first place

 

[sparkie1984]

hope it goes to a good home
