Selling my e30,whats the best way

[craggsyE30]

So basically im on apprentic wage and dont have the time to contiue the car. Its been running fine for the last few weeks until wheb i went to start it up and nothing has happend. So iv given up done loads of things to it has tax and mot but what would be better to break it. Scrap or sell the whole thing?. I will be buying another but can getinsurance till next october woch has also made me lose interest

Well I think I understood most of that.

Problem is, what model is it? what condition is it? Is it a saleable car?

If it's a 316 and bog basic then you'll get more on the weighbridge

It's a morselled up 325i then either sell it or break it but it'll fetch naff all without rent or ticket......

Have checked your starter motor ?

Get someone else to write your advert.

Seriously.

[craggsyE30]

This is nt an advert this is a question read the top before saying things mate ;)

Assuming it is tidy and not a 200k stanced hound. Get somebody to have a look at it and find out why it will not start / run. A tidy taxed and tested 318is is £1000 + easily (3k+ in Scotland )

Not making an effort and selling it as a non runner will get you low hundreds.

Pretty sure he realizes that this thread is not an advert, dude.

He's pointing out (in a rather blunt fashion) that your written English leaves a little to be desired and that for a successful sale you should let someone who has full command of the English write your advert when you come to posting one.

[craggsyE30]

Yh thats no problem if had said what you have just said to me i would be more than happy to take his advice i hate it when people feel the need to be massive cock head thanks

You're left wondering how you earn't that comment, and so am I. Sound advice is just not needed on this thread....

[BenHar]

I think Pete's comment (3k+ in Scotland) was aimed at 318isPMK (who may have paid slightly over the odds for a 318is in Scotland).

The c**k comment was then aimed at Pete.

Wow, what a coincidence!

Does the car in question have a welder?

Sweaty is obviously a bit snappy and grumpy at the moment , carburettor troubles I would hazard a guess

Wow, it's rare that you hook one on your first cast.

[mabz]

i normally write a description about the car,add some pics,price and location and then press the submit button(the one on the right next to the preview button).
thats how i sell a car

[craggsyE30]

This is not a for sale thread hence the question for advice on what i should do, when i do decide whats happening it will be in the thread for sale with a full list of things needing done, what work iv dont to it plus previous work plenty of pics ( close up no stupid distance shots where you cant see shit) ;)

[magpie]

get it running again it will only be something daft as it started last time you tried it.

most battery's will go flat after a week in this weather if not used .

www.e30zone.net
www.autotrader.co.uk
www.pistonheads.co.uk
www.carandclassic.co.uk
www.ebay.co.uk

That's where I normally look to buy cars, so it would make logical sense to sell them there.
