Been trying now for over a month to sell my mother-in-laws Jazz, It's a SE I-VTEC CVT, One Lady Owner from new, Very Low mileage, 11200 and in superb condition.Honda Service up to 8k,T & T.
Is it the colour, burn Orange,or is it the price, we are asking £7200, or is it that we are advertising on Gumtree and Marketplace?
What does the board think??

Costs less than £50.00 to put it up for about 3 weeks and you can put up loads of photos.
Have sold 3 cars there all inside the 3 weeks.
My MK3 was bought by a dealer for a very good price and now I see it on their web site for over £2,000.00 more than autotrader recommend
.There's a shortage of good clean second hand cars and the dealers are desperate for them.
Give it a try

As you have not told us the age of the car, we can do nothing...
Gumtree and Marketplace are hardly where you sell low mileage nice cars..
Autotrader may be more suitable.

Gumtree etc are better for lower value motors, and even then, can be hard work. Sold several cars over the years, and at £7k, it does need to be Autotrader.
I keep reading about prices being very strong at auction, and a shortage of stock. It would be well worth trying the trade direct, see what offers you get.
Try these folk.

I tend to get a price from webuyanycar and take it from there.
I would also take it to a main dealer and see what they offer.

It seems if you get a quote then leave it a few days they'll often email with a higher offer. Some people say they knock the value down when you take the car but others have sold to them without issue.
We had an email the other day from our local dealer asking if we wanted to sell them our 2014 Jazz.
Post by: richardfrost on May 26, 2021, 01:18:14 PM
I think it might be too cheap. I've just done a search on Autotrader for 2015-2016 Jazz CVT sub 15000 miles, and the cheapest nationwide is £8500.
List at £8500 and if you get an offer for £8000 you will be happy?
Post by: VicW on May 27, 2021, 03:53:51 PM
introduced in, I think, September 2015. If people are looking for a Mk3 this may be confusing the issue.

We tried it on Gumtree and Marketplace for about 4 weeks at £8k, then dropped it to £7.3k, Nothing, so tried our Local Honda Dealers and they Offered £7k there and then. Tried Wizzle and got £7700 offer from 'wewantanycar.com' in showroom condition and £7200 in Average condition.
Think its a Mk3 as it was registered in Sept 2015.
I think the days of selling private are on the wain, as most folk want finance, might try Autotrader at say £7800 and if that doesn't work see if someone from Wizzle will give us those offers they have.

If you've had £7700 I'd take it. Result Mike. Hassle free professional buyer with ID and verified. No privates possibly wasting your time and potential for payment to go wrong. By the time you've paid for the ATrader add............ Wizzle looks like the solution. Get it sold. And it's £400 more than you had it advertised for already. Quids in and you can get the insurance and tax cancelled. IMHO.
Private sellers are on the wain. Not many people these days have actual cash ready to go. Bangers work, but I wouldn't want to be selling something lumpy these days.
In 2004, we had a 2001 Accord SE Exec. At the time they were on Honda forecourts for £10k, I struggled to get £7.5k for it. No one had the money. Fortunately I'd bough it from Aston Barclay auction and still made a few quid, but if it owed me near retail, it would have been an expensive time.

I'm warned that the WeBuyanyCar offer is a baiting tactic, when they have inspected your car, there may be a heavily revised offer to you

What are fourth (usually G), fifth and sixth characters in the VIN? eg. GA1.
If you look at and read the Home page of Club Jazz, you will see it mentions the Chassis codes of the various Generations of the Honda Jazz. These are the numbers you are asking about in the VIN.
The post is here: https://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=6323.0
The Mk4 chassis code(s) haven't been added yet. Mk4 is GR.

Here is one of the best guides for the Jazz / Fit
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Fit
Interesting explanation of why we have "Jazzes" rather than "Fits"
"Honda may have planned to use the name Fitta, and it was released in Japan under that name in 2001. Because Fitta in Scandinavian languages is slang for vagina, Honda instead used Jazz in most markets and Fit in the Americas."
Post by: coffeecup on May 29, 2021, 03:38:24 PM
OK,have Money4yourmotors coming Monday, they offered £7700 'showroom condition' and our car is, so will be interesting to see how much he tries to knock me down!!!
Will let you know.

WeBuyAnyCar is part of BCA, British Car Auctions, BCA have typically taken trade-ins from the dealers which BCA then sell at auction. BCA are cutting out the dealers acting as middle men by approaching the owner/seller directly, bypassing the customer trade in process.Yeah, check out BCA fees for your money transfer and admin fees. Still, our local WBAC place in the Asda car park is never quiet so some folk obviously need the money pronto and are prepared to pay.

BCA are also selling direct to the public. https://www.cinch.co.uk/about-us
@Coffeecup - Hope the transaction goes smoothly for you. :D

I know there's a couple of other buying service suggestions, but what's the We Buy Any Car valuation? Apparently they're very keen at the moment and on another forum I visit people are tracking how their cars are increasing in value.
It seems if you get a quote then leave it a few days they'll often email with a higher offer. Some people say they knock the value down when you take the car but others have sold to them without issue.
We had an email the other day from our local dealer asking if we wanted to sell them our 2014 Jazz.
Why not give coffeecup your local dealers details if they are in the market to buy a Jazz.
Sure - it was more of a general comment that any Honds dealer might be interested although I see there was a later post saying that had been tried.
Our local dealer is Cheshire Oaks Honda, but the email refers to all the Holdcroft group dealers so that includes Warrington and Stoke.

I've never used them but I'm seeing quite a few reports on forums that as long as you've described the car accurately they do give the offered price. Right now they're so keen they're increasing some offers.

When I see folk in those cars, I always comment "yeah, but your jealous of my cars reliability though Mr JLR"
BTW don't forget to remind Mr JLR that he is driving an Indian car, and that swanky modern Mr Volvo is now driving a Chinese Trumpchi. LOL.

No1: Please do not assume that I drive what I can afford. I drive what I want to, I do not feel the need to display my wealth with a status symbol. After all, Jeff Bezos drives a regular Honda Accord and he is a fairly well healed fella to the tune of many billions USD.
No2: I don't need a car to massage my ego. I'm quite happy in my life and do not need to compensate for anything with a badge! I enjoy my Jazz life, brilliant cars.

I'm hopefully going Jazz because it suits my changing lifestyle.

Those brands of cars Audi, Range Rover BMW Mercedes etc, I consider to be vulgar and tasteless symbols of status, therefore another reason to drive a modest car such as a Jazz, I feel sad our society has declined to such extremes of narcissism, conspicuous consumption and self-exhibition.

I have been interested in and driven cars for well over half a century. I passed my test in 1967 and cars had been used as a status symbol for at least half a century before that.
Nothing new under the sun!
