Why not say the lowest is 145k?
Why not put it on for 160 and say you'll take 150?


Anyway.

Just had the first scam. Offered me paypal transfer after trusting me that there isn't any rust. Told me he was honest and a man of God. Told him to rot in hell.

I'm shocked how many people have responded to this thread. I started something similar a few months ago and nearly everyone through a hissy fit. And most of those have responded numerous times on this thread. Tbf, i'm just jealous how much attention Scamp receives.

The haggling/negotiations is enjoyable. Good luck selling your car.

Do you wear corduroys????

scrubbedexpat141

Don't be jealous. Most people have just taken the piss anyway or judged or pretended to be more impressive than they are.

I'm still undecided on used or new but if the old car sells soon I'll buy whatever is available that day.

Found a car for you scampy me old mukka

It's Yellow

"Urgent Sale" means he'd take 100k for it...

Taz786

lol don't wear them. Is that my downfall

scrubbedexpat141

Probably about the right price.

I reckon I'm close to selling the FJ. Seems the top is around 55k. So 103->55k in 4.5 years. Not awful, certainly getting more than the deposit back

scrubbedexpat141

Awesome.
I'm not that close to selling other than knowing I can dump for 15k.
Lots of people offering 17-19k off the bat.
I'll give it time then drop the price and accept something close to 20k.
Deposit was 18k and Daddy paid it. As long as I get that or more out of it, it's not been bad.

I've had several 45ks, a few 50s, and a 52k all unseen. A 55k (seen) and another 55k unseen.

I reckon it will go for 55k to the guy who actually drove it

Scamp, let's have some fun for us geeks.

How much did you pay for the car.

Your monthly payment.

How many months did you make payments.

Average annual costs for servicing/repairs

Cost of all big ticket expenses and repairs.

My FJ:

purchase 103k
services - 15k (10)
tyres - 2k (1 set)
insurance 10k (4.5 years)
interest on loan 5k
less resale: 55
all in cost: 77k
4.5 years
1,400dh / month

I couldn't rent anything similar for double that. In that period, I had a car I enjoyed rather than hating myself every time I got into a leased yaris.

Similar for the 370z put it at around 2.5k a month. I forecast that the jeep will be around 1.2k a month, 1.6k if it's worth nothing in 4 years time. It's an older car, however.

DXBtoDOH

That's 77,000 you won't be seeing back anytime soon

No, in all seriousness, you did reasonably well.

scrubbedexpat141

Guess it's about patience.
I also think these things are about trusting your gut. If the person in front of you seems genuine and wants it and is offering the right money then it's the holy grail.
I'd rather my car, which definitely doesn't have a name, went to a decent human instead of a ****.

Millhouse

of if I had rented a similar car (4k a month), it would be around 160k. Or rent a hate-yourself-car and spent 108k.

Or I could have ubered, paid around 50dh a day and spent around 70k over the period - of course, petrol is mine.

Transport costs money. Work out how much you have spent on smelly cars over the years, in my opinion owning cars is cheap here.
