The Yuills Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi Carly, That is a difficult one..do you need your car..if not sell it now and then you don't have to take any silly offers, you will get them if they know you are emigrating, especially with not long to go. We sold ours with 3 weeks to go but with staying in a caravan quite a way from anywhere and kids still at school we loaned a car from my nephew for 3 weeks. Sadly no one knows how long it will take to sell a car we were lucky and advertised it for 1 week and got loads of interest and sold it for the asking price. Only my view but hope it helps.

Guest MariAndyok Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 If you've got a nice car put it up for sale with about 8 weeks to go. When you sell it, go and buy a £500 car with tax and mot to run around with for the last few weeks, then sell that to a garage for a couple of hundred quid just before you leave, if not drive it to the scrappy and he'll give you £100 for it.....then come out here and moan for the firstmonth about how dear the old bange rs are and you've just sold one just like that for a couple of hundred quid.......:biglaugh: Hi Carly, That is a difficult one..do you need your car..if not sell it now and then you don't have to take any silly offers, you will get them if they know you are emigrating, especially with not long to go.

anlopa Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi we will sell our the day before we go using the company we buy your car. They don't give top buck but the price is better than trade in deals. not that you will be trading. I can't be bothered with tyre kickers, my car is quite new and very low mileage so it is holding a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmaj Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I thought it would take a while to sell my car so i started to advertise it a month back but it sold within two days. Im lucky as Hubs has a company car so we can manage with one car as he is working from home right now and Ive left my job so i can de-clutter and rest (i have been ill recently) prior to our move. pistonheads was recommended to me via this website, free to advertise on there! Good luck Emma x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest17301 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 LOL, Carly you sound just like me befor we left! I sold my old Fiesta a week before we left on Auto Trader, got more than I wanted for it! OH left his with Dad to sell as we couldn't manage without a car in the last few days and it sold around 2 weeks later for the asking price. I found it much less stressful/pricey to have our car to run around in for last minute visiting people/tip runs etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest burnsb Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 We sold our two cars about a week ago we have about six weeks before we leave and we bought a £500 car with tax and mot the guy who sold us it will buy it back. It was a relief to get them sold because we were a bit worried about the market. As long as the other car keeps going until the end of June we will be doing well.
