| Car for sale (late Nov) My car's hire-purchase agreement runs out in late November, and was looking into the possibility of selling it rather than giving it back. I owned it from new.
It's a Seat Ibiza 2006
Black
1.2L Petrol
Manual transmission
Milage is something like 36000 (I'd have to check exactly)
3 Door Hatchback
CD player can play mp3 files and it has steering-wheel controllers for the radio/CD player
It's a brilliant wee car and I'll miss it loads. I'd keep it if I actually needed a car just now (boyfriend has one that I'm on the insurance for and we both work within walking distance).
Not sure about the exact price just now but I'll probably be looking at between £4000-£5000
Nothing definite just now but I was just seeing if there was any interest - PM me if you are.

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) I can't help but think that buying it from the HP company and selling it would be a lot of extra hassle, unless they are going to give you it for buttons.

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) Im confused.
If there is an outstanding balance with the HP company, I don't think you can sell the car until this is sorted. Legally, you don't own the car.

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) I know. I buy it fully from them in November. It's probably not going to be any more hassle.

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) Good wee cars too, seeing as that's what I'm driving these days.

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) ^ is there not an agreed final value - you can give it back or stump up that amount usually, no?

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) Aye, but the final value is less than the value of the car so it'll be beneficial to me to buy it fully then sell it on.

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) second hand car prices have taken a beating recently haven't they? (ie since the final value would have been worked out by the leasing company) - is it definitely worth more? i'd be certain of a buyer before going down that route.

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) I don't understand the problem. The final payment is less than the value of the car cos I've been paying a set amount per month for 3 years. So someone gets a fab wee car for exactly the same as any of the others on Auto Trader, and I get rid of a car I don't need.
I didn't come here for an arguement.

I've based my price on equivalent cars on Auto Trader website.

I didn't think the final cash price would be much below the current market value, but I guess if it wasn't noone would buy them.

| Re: Car for sale (late Nov) cool. not being argumentative at all! obviously i've no idea of the numbers in question... just suggesting a little extra caution at the moment in that respect since things have gotten pretty volatile what with the credit crunch / the scrappage scheme etc etc.
a lot of the cars i've looked at over the last six months (on ebay and auto trader) seem to be a bit over-valued by people selling them - if you see ones of a similar age/mileage/condition to yours advertised at a certain price bear in mind it make take the owners quite a while to find someone who'll pay what they want (and on ebay VERY many of the cars i've followed don't meet the reserve if there is one).

| hah, interesting - it's been the opposite with the cars i've been looking at, i suppose because the kinda things that interest me are very often not people's main car - and the market for second cars bought on a whim may not be as strong as it was a couple of years back!
