Matt L Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 can only really answer it yourself imo, are you happy with the 8.5? if you are then go for it, if not hold out although the market is starting to fill up with them again so may be worth taking it if you want rid of it.

ewan221 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Going by what some early Zeds have been bought and sold for recently seems like a reasonable offer, was actually thinking about putting mine up for £9k with a view to accepting £8.5. In saying that if its his first offer I would try for a bit more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James B Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Sounds like a fair offer to be honest. We have all taken hits on them - yours is a great low mileage example but and you could might be able to get £9k for it but if you want rid then accept. Up to you though fella.....

Peter10 Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Are you able to get a refund on the tax (ie 8-9 months worth)? Maybe say £8750 and take the refund on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 tough one really. From looking at cars myself, id be tempted to take the money. You could hold on and maybe be lucky and get more, but in my experience it never comes and you end up having to sell for a lot less than you were originally offered months down the line. Thats happened twice with me now on cars and I wished id taken the first offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankeesiter Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I love the way the underside has been cleaned up and waxoyled. Looks like you could eat your dinner on it. Indicates to me that the car has been really well cared for. And it's low mileage. Having said that, it is 03. I bought mine, an 05 for £9k with fsh and have had no problems and very little to do on it, only maintainence - but it had twice the mileage as yours. IMO, I'd grab the money.

Ozz Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Take the offer! Its an 03 model in silver, and although in stunning condition you'll need luck/time to get 9k. Petrol prices and the general economy are hitting these cars hard. I'm selling my BMW 330 54plate for a similar price, everyone says its lovely but noone parts with the cash!

rabbitstew Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I hate selling cars which is one reason why I end up keeping them for so long. Last car I sold I had no end of time wasters. People offering silly money without seeing the car. Then others turning up testing it out, agreeing it was the best by far they had seen and then not even making an offer. Im hoping when I come to sell my zed I will find that enthusiast who loves the car as much as I do and wont mess me about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cesc Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Mate I know the feeling. I've been trying to sell my RX-8 for nearly 5 months now and it's just not shifting even at the knock-down price of £4,695. People just don't want thirsty cars any more and with the extra hike in April, there'll be even less interest. Try AutoTrader, that's where most people look first, although it is eye-wateringly expensive for a 6 week ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and take the main photo low down from the rear passenger quarter ie. the nearside rear wheel. Psychology - it works every time.
