She's gone in for her MOT this weekend, picking her up sometime next week after work, and if all is well she will be up on ebay by next weekend unless I have any other offers £850 ONO :)

When she back from MOT will give her her final clean and polish and post up the most recent photos! (Photos of her interior have already been taken and are on the link above) Photos of exterior and engine bay still to come ;)[/list]

Its a luxo-barge. Maybe if we club together we can buy an IBD full of methanol. That MIGHT take it down.

I would really reconsider eBaying it. Autotrader is less money for 2 weeks of ad-space and there are no extortionate fees.

At least if you DO eBay it, make sure you do NOT put a BIN on it, instead start the bidding at £850 with no reserve. BIN and reserve both cost extra money and the BIN will vanish once someone bids.

BIN=Buy It Now, so no, its not the reserve :)

@ Yossarian, thanks for the advice, I remember the last time on eBay, its a total joke, but I have NEVER had any success from Autotrader-and you are only limited to one tetchy photo and no real space for a proper description; Piston heads ALL I got was jokers offering like £200 and fake replies as well; I know the Bays a pain, but if I start bidding at 850 no one will bid will they? Its like being between the devil and the deep blue sea-add a reserve and start at 99p to encourage people to bid, and you may just hit reserve, or dont add the reserve start at 850 and people are immediately put off....Its so stressful lol!

@GJ-thanks for the sites, will try them first! ;)

ah i see, and agree. buy it now on an auction site is totally pointless.

You are asking a collector price so your chances are not great. Utility wise, the car is worth about £300. If you want a premium, i'd guess you are best off waiting to find someone looking to buy a GT. Otherwise there will be people like me saying its worth half what you think. I'm not sure ebay is the way to go. Maybe a classic car mag etc.

i wouldnt call £850 a collector price, the £1500 i paid to me is a collector price!! I think £300 is a bit low, purely because I have seen ES's in ave condition go for £500.

I cant believe ppl would pay more for an escort than what i want for my 480. :cryhard: :shock:

Richj

have you seen the prices for 480' s recently 2 tones once they would only fetch about £350 on a good day are getting 475 or more with no problem! the prices for 480 are going up recently on ebay so bidding could start at 450 for a good late model gt in vgc.


I constantly watch all 480 s on ebay and other sites looking for a bargain to break up (100 to 150)

Word of warning about ebay...

A member of this very forum had their GT for sale on Ebay only a matter of weeks ago, in pretty nice nick etc.

It only got bids up to something rediculous like 150-200 quid...

Maybe you'll be lucky though... But not £800 worth! :)

I can see your quandry Esta, it is tricky. I would start your eBay auction at the very, VERY lowest you would consider accepting for your car, and have no reserve or BIN. It will save on cost.

I did this with a Rover 825 with a blown headgasket, started it at £150, and it went for £185!

Autotrader is good if you can sum up your car in a smaller space; and I remember getting at least 6 photos free with it, but maybe they've changed.

Good luck to you, it must be really tricky getting rid of such a prized car!
