Default My Estate up for sale

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately down to a house move my Amazon estate is up for sale on Car and Classic. (Ill try and get a link but I am useless on computers). The blue one. It's marked up at a higher price than most people think they are worth but I looked at two estates on there for the 13 thousand pound mark and they weren't as nice, in my opinion. Plus I don't really want to sell it but needs must. Have a read and make me an offer if you are interested.
All the best
Joe

I so wish we'd had the cash to buy this beauty at the price you did and we could have given her a forever home.

Great profit there fella!

Thanks, there isn't a great profit there at all. I'm after ten. Bought it for seven, spent a hell of a lot on wheels, tyres (over a grand) carpets, mirrors, engine parts, full stainless steel exhaust, suspension worth over five hundred pounds and nearly four hundred pounds getting the engine running properly and various other bits, not to mention all the work ive put in to cleaning and waxing the car etc.
Not a good profit at all, in fact not even a profit. Unfortunately I need some money to move, selling the car was never in the plan and I don't want to but there you go.
Thanks
Joe

Hello, thanks for that.
I'm originally from Hitchin, only moved from there recently and i'm still over there quite a bit. You may see it driving around yet.
All the best

Oh right sorry, no that's wrong that was when I was putting it on there just to see what the response was and I didn't really have any interest in selling the car but at that price I would have had too.
Had to make my mind up in the last few days and it does need to go.
Sorry for the confusion.

It is a stunning car and whilst I wish you well with your sale I feel saddened that the highly skilled craftspeople/ engineers/ mechanics who keep these wonderful cars on the road are so often squeezed down in price so that they can barely if at all make any profit.

I apologise as you say that is not your intention and good luck with the sale.

Regards, Caron
