Guest iselinger Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just finishing my 3 year stint on a 457 and about to return to the UK. I have to sell my car (2 1/2 year old Mazda CX7) but I really need it till very close to the end then I can hire one for the last few days. Location Sydney lower north shore. If I advertise privately I have no idea how long it will take and I could end up having to hire for a couple of months or not being able to sell it before I leave. Does anyone know of a reputable company that will give me a halfway sensible price on a forward date. I know I am not going to get top book price but I don't expect scrap value either! When I left the UK there were several companies that I contacted but I haven't found one here yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzy27 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 How much you selling for? We might be interested.. Also, when are you leaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HPRYCE Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Might be worth speaking to the dealer that supplied it. We are heading back to the UK soon and sold my just under 2 yr old Prado back to the Toyota dealership that I bought it from. They actually gave me a pretty good price so will probably also do the same with a Corolla hatch we bought at the same time from them (unless anyone on here might be in the market around the end of April!!).

Guest iselinger Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Lizzy27 - No idea what its worth yet. I haven't even checked the book price. I will contact the dealer as suggested by HPRYCE tomorrow and get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I left the UK there were several companies that I contacted but I haven't found one here yet. I've been wondering about setting up a car swapping thread for those headed over and those headed back, I have a BMW 330 convertible and Land Rover Freelander 2 which I don't want to pay to ship to Australia but know I'll loose on the sale and a purchase on the far end, could swapping be the answer? Cash could also be exchanged to compensate for any value differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest iselinger Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 freebo I guess its worth a try given that there is no cost is setting up a thread. Any transaction would have to be directly between the two parties concerned but I suspect that its unlikely to end up in many exchanges because of the high variability of cars, timing and location.
