Price now dropped a little. Sensible offers only as well please :o)

Now there's a surprise.

For a lesson in how to sell a car.... look at the example of my Marea.

Not an easy car to sell at all. It was the wrong engine, the wrong
colour.

I put up an ad on Autotrader with a very honest description, the same on
ebay.

I set a sensible price.

Within half an hour of placing the ad. on Autotrader, I had a call.

Within 24 hours of putting it on ebay, I had a few emails.

Also within 24 hours, I had a viewer who'd seen it on ebay, and we did
the deal only 22 hours after it had been put on ebay.

The lesson is..... price a car at the right price for the market and you
can sell anything. Even a slightly rough Xantia :-p

I had 2 interests in the car and 1 was travelling up from taunton to buy it
as he knew how well i look after my coupe. He then found a local ZX1.4 for
£500 and bought it but i believe is now having second thought due to central
lockign issues and a 1.4 in a big-ish car not being good for cheap motorway
miles in comfort. The other interest found another xantia more cheaply and
has just had the spheres on it done after a bouncy ride and also a new rad
looks on the cards as well so thats about £200 on his £400 cheaper car
wasted already :o)

So all in its a good car still for the money due to whats been done on her.

Besides the 20v unit is a much better unit unless un can find a good TD unit
its the best of the petrols and easy enough to maintain if you know what
your doing and take care of it and green is a few quid cheaper to insure as
well :o)
