And I am absolutely gob smacked at the trade in dealers are offering, between 18k-20k max, I have it privately listed as well for $27990 which I though was pretty reasonable but no takers. For those of you who are selling similar vehicles is this where the market is at? or am I expecting too much?Any thoughts would be appreciated.Cheers,Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 130000+ kms is a little daunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely doesn't encourage you to buy another FPV or even an Aussie made vehicle. Edited 09/09/10 08:39 AM by jasper361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its the timing, another mate has a BA XT and even at the cheaper end of the scale he hasnt had any calls at all. Just a crappy time to be selling.

They just don't want to be stuck with cars they can't sell... Or sell at a bit of a margin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently sold my 05 BA F6 with 61K kms to a dealer for about 30k on the dot, no trades or anything just a direct sale.. tyres were stuffed and only option was the chunky FPV wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
