My mate has had is 54 plate JDM up for circa £10k or aaaaages and had no serious interest. It's got a lot of 'mainstream' mods such as Nismo kit, GT4 rims and DC exhaust etc, but still no luck.
All you can do is put it up for sale and see what happens. You may get lucky, it only takes one person to really want it!
In any climate,cars will always sell if priced right. I've been saying it for years on here,and I'm sure it'spissed people off, but in the vast majority of cases I've been proved right when cars haven't sold, modded cars have had to be stripped or prices dropped etc.
It's not that I don't like the ST, but as its virtually the same colour it just looks like a poor mans version of your zed.....how come you need the seats anyway ?
Its like someone has taken an image of your beautiful zed on your drive, melted it into a blue blob and then reformed into the shape of a Focus......you must need the rear seats bad!!
But what about the huge depreciation hit that any new car will take? The interest rate my be lower that a loan but your paying for huge depreciation across those three years.
In our case Alfa are doing the finance on a 2.4%APR, so way cheaper than most loans
But it's not the rate I'm asking about, its the method of purchase which is restricting the purchase to new cars.
Considering the OP bumped the thread 36 hours ago, and it doesn't say SOLD anywhere, I'm gonna guess..................................................................yes.
Phone paypal themselves, explain the situation and what evidence they would accept from you if this was to happen......write it all down and get names of who you spoke to etc.
