NWZ Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Going to the car auction tomorrow looking for a new car for the mrs. I have noticed there is a 350z going through the auction tomorrow:- Nissan 350Z 2dr Convertible Oct 2005 (55) Black MOT - Oct 2009 38,667 Fancy having a stab at what it'll go for? Shall I start? £15 - £16k? Place your bids for a bit of fun.... will update tomorrow night! Quote
NWZ Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 jeez, my bid was way over then! If it goes for those figures I wish I was in the market for a zed! Quote
Dicky Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 £11,700 You dog picked my price---ok £11750 then Quote
Pingu2 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 jeez, my bid was way over then! If it goes for those figures I wish I was in the market for a zed! well it certainly won't go for over 15 grand - I believe there is something called "a recession" Quote
SunsetZed Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 £12,483 Thanks Sarnie, you've still left £12,500 for me Quote
Zedrush Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 £11,700 You dog picked my price---ok £11750 then £11755 Quote
Iddingtons Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I'd like to think it'll go for over 13k...but thats mostly as I'm auctioning mine tomorrow and would like at least 11k for it If the car has any kind of reserve, unless its low my bet is that it won't sell....tomorrow will be an interesting day Quote
Pingu2 Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 really not a good time of year to sell a convertible! Quote
Leeroy Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I don't think it'll make 10 grand. £9,500. Don't be surprised if it's not there, I've gone along a few times with a view to bidding on a car that doesn't roll out Quote
Sarnie Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Do you have to be in the trade to go to auctions? Quote
lomoto Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 £7000 would be a good price. , but I bet it wont reach it's reserve or the auctioneer will be taking bids of the wall Quote
Leeroy Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Do you have to be in the trade to go to auctions? No, you don't. Just need to register before you bid and you're away. Carried away sometimes There's usually a surprising amount of nice metal that goes through, it's not unusual to see Astons, Porsches etc. When I bought my car a year ago at auction a 2 year old 5 series went though for £12K Of course you have to accept that the history is pretty unknown, the best bets are ex lease cars which have usually had all services etc on the button Quote
Shuck Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 £11500. I'll be the guy in the long rain coat, sunglasses and black baseball cap bidding................ Quote
hotrain69 Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 sorry if this is a stupid question but how often do these car auctions happen and where? Quote
GlenMH Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 £7000 would be a good price. , but I bet it wont reach it's reserve or the auctioneer will be taking bids of the wall I would guess down at this level too.... Quote
NWZ Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 This is the Queensferry car auction which is quiet small compared to BCA's hughe outfits in the UK. They do tend to have quiet a lot of ex fleets going through (especially from Shell). Usually, beemers & audis, say 3 years old. The zed is quiet rare, let's see what happens. Here's the link to the auction list:- http://66.139.73.80/telford/queensferry.aspx The zed is still on there. Quote
NWZ Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 Just phoned them, it's defo going through. Quote
NWZ Posted November 7, 2008 Author Posted November 7, 2008 It didn't show !!! good job I wasn't bidding and didn't travel far! Quote
Sarnie Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 It didn't show !!! good job I wasn't bidding and didn't travel far! So by default the winner is the person with the most posts Quote
