Hey ladies.
im trying to sell my car as i brought a new one. Ive been told i can sell my car for around $4500 if i get the cambelt changed. I don't want to do this as i don't have the $$ so ive gotten a quote for between $500-600 for it to be changed and listed my car for $3999 ONO for the difference (car comes with cambelt - just need to pay for the labour to put it in). Its a good car and ive never had any problems with it. Am i asking too much for it? I have a buyer whos throwing a stink saying he will only pay $3000. Here it is anyway... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=282712862 ETA: ild be happy with $3500 so im not acting like its a non-negotiable price but this guy is being a dick. |

I would have a look on TM at other similar cars to see what they are going for. I wouldn't be settling for 3K if you are wanting more especially if you have only just put it up for sale. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Others around the same year and mileage (sp) are selling for 4,500.
I might have to settle for that price yet because i need 3000 to pay off the other car by the end of the month. (my dad was nice and brought the bigger car for me but needs the $$ back) |

ONO = or near offer. 3k is 1k off what you're asking. Hardly a near offer. I don't think it's unreasonable to negotiate back at 3500 -------------

I think its reasonable what you are asking. Ive been car hunting for over 6 months now and have yet to find one.
Your car is a toyota & has low kms. I think you should get $4k for it. You do need to put on the auction cambelt needs replacing!! Good luck with selling it  -------------

He could be only offering you $3000 because it will need rego next month too. Hes probably just factoring how much things will cost to keep it on the road. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

If you look right to the bottom of http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=EGD551 - This page that could be why he's saying that price. I know the km's are higher on those sales, but I bet that is why. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

There are alot of people on TM that want something for nothing and they annoy me and my partner (even tho my partner is just as bad) I tend to get snarky and say if you dont like it dont buy it DP if he has something listed as 3999ono will tell them bottom dollar is 3600-3700 even if he only wants 3500.
I reckon tell him your bottom dollar and to stop wasting your time if he doesnt want to pay it -------------
