You live in a lovely place, but pretty inconvenient for the vast majority of UK car buyers, so you may need to tweak the price to tempt people.

(But I still think you should keep it, if possible!).

i had a feeling that was part of the issue.

i really dont know what to do now. i may put it to an ebay auction now.

Speak to me Nick ... tweak the price a bit for me ...

nick_ovlov · Jul 14th, 2010, 18:12

right im now taking the car to the northern bkv on 1st august.

i have deliberated and changed my mind as i genuinely love the car. but its been 3 years ive had this one and feel that i need to move on and change.

ive had a chance to enjoy my hard work but now it really must go. i am prepared to drop the price to allow for this BUT not going to just let it go for peanuts.

i might as well add that the car owes me well in excess of £2000 and yes i know its for the love of it etc but its a lovely example. everywhere i go with it people remark its the best they have seen in ages etc. it doesnt look a bit of its mileage. (on 208k now) no wear at all to seats. drivers i have rebuilt. all as per my project thread.

ALSO ive just put two new tyres on it. tracking was out and wore out two so i have two brand new pirelli p6000's on it.

Hi Nick

Wow that's a beaut! Timing is everything eh! If she doesn't sell over the weekend let me know as I hope to be in a position to make an offer next week and I'm local (well compared to most).

Cheers

I Dont think the location should be a problem for this car, i would happly travel the lenght of Britian for a car like this if i had been down in England, and pay his price without haggling. £1500 is a bargain, wish i had seen this before i bought the V40, i would have travelled the 20 miles to buy it.

Nick,

If you still have the car, I am very interested. Could you meet me near Perth over the weekend, or Ft. WIlliam early next week

Thanks,

Simon
