Nobody wants it!!!

Hi

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??

Have you tried putting it on autotrader.
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.

Yeah, I would agree, Autotrader would be the place for a decent motor such as yours.

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.

Sorry, missed that bit, it's a 2015. Will have a go on Autotrader.

I don't think the colour helps, orange is not for everyone but it should sell with that mileage and condition.

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.

A quick look on AutoTrader suggests the price you're asking is reasonable so I suppose people are right about it being where you're advertising.

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. If you're selling at £7200, might look suspicously cheap, you know, if something looks to good to be true then.......

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.

List at £8500 and if you get an offer for £8000 you will be happy?

[VicW]

A possible consideration is that the car in question is a 2015 model but when in that year because the Mk3 was
 introduced in, I think, September 2015. If people are looking for a Mk3 this may be confusing the issue.

Hi

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.

What are fourth (usually G), fifth and sixth characters in the VIN?  eg. GA1.

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.
