Fairly low estimate for the miles though a close read of the description reveals this morsel: "The all important clutch wear was around 37% when last dealer serviced in 2018".

Then again, a more recently serviced GS must be around £20k+ these days so I guess there's headroom...

Only done 5k since that clutch reading.

Time for someone to put on their brave pants and grab a bargain. There’s a perfectly good chance it’ll go for around £15k plus fees.
Worse case, if it needs too much work, simply re-auction it.

So much car for the money.

Brave pants indeed. Buyers fee of 15% and subsequent sellers fee of 5% makes a quick turnaround re auction potentially very costly. Punt or no Punt,,,,,questions why at auction? Maybe the owner doesn’t know the internet exists!

Convenience and speed. No waiting 6-12 months to make a sale, and no silly questions and tyre kickers. It's quite a good way to sell a car if you're not fussed about every last £1, and you never know, if two people really want what you're selling, you may even get lucky on the price. So with an auction, sometimes the seller gets lucky, and sometimes its the buyer.

After having mine for sale for 3 months with no serious contenders I am leaning towards agreeing. It’s funny how we all want to buy ‘a good deal’ but don’t want to sell ‘a good deal’

RX07BXK (not WV55KLU probably)

 

[Greggy50]

Went for £13.5k + fees so about £15.5k out the door which seems pretty cheap!

 

[safrane]

Very.

Nice car for Mondeo money.

 

[tmc0011]

Well I’m pretty pleased with it. Matt has kindly given me a long list of issues to fix but for the money I’m pretty pleased. The smiles are worth every penny

Greggs estimate is way off though as buyer premium is included in the 13.5. Just as well as the list of mechanical repairs is not short.

Sorry to hear that, what needs doing?

 

[tmc0011]

Rose joints, track rod ends, brake hoses, discs, pads, subframe corrosion, drop links, roll bars heavily corroded, f1 pipe splitting….

Have you sniffed the footwells yet? There's always the heater matrix 'fun' to look forward to
