Help me ....

[Dan1971]

.... to sell my ST220. I'm sorted with a replacement. ;)

Link to Autotrader advert. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201103377511035/sort/locasc/usedcars/model/mondeo/make/ford/radius/10/postcode/cm210jt/page/1/quicksearch/true?logcode=p

I'll take ?6K for it.

If anyone buys it from this forum - or anyone from the forum directs the eventual buyer to my car and results in a sale I will bung Smokey ?200 towards the site car. Get busy guys and gals.

[peterzs]

You offered it on ST220 Forum or whatever, might get more interest from someone that knows the car and spec.???

Ad sounds good by the way.

Best of luck with it. :smile1::smile1::smile1:

[Dan1971]

I'll give it a go but I think it's another of those minimum posts type forums before you can advertise anything and to be honest - after getting 2 hellos when I joined, I've not been back.

[stamford]

You never cease to amaze me Dan :D Good luck and dare I ask what is replacing it? Shame when you join a forum and only get a minimal response, guess it might be to do with fast turnover of owners etc. Be prepared for a long wait as I would think most drivers these days are looking very carefully at their running costs as fuel is going up more times than Jordans skirt.

[peterzs]

Have to get busy answering all the posts Dan, build your score up.

Just shows state of the country I suppose.

Cant put it on Max Power now either!!!!

Gumtree seems popular, might be worth a punt.

I'm prepared for a wait and hence me asking for help from users to pass on to people at their workplace, family etc for what I think is a fairly decent return for smokey and the site car.

As for the repacement - if it's OK - I'll keep that for another day. ;)

[stamford]

I'll certainly put the word around to those likely to be interested. If it comes off then a superb offer to the site track car. As for the replacement.................yea I guess we can wait ;)

[Smokey]

Cops seem to like fast cars (Crieff station has a top spec Imprezza, Volvo C30 and an Focus ST) so will put it on the site intranet which covers all of Tayside.

Good man ...... Fast and practical - Dog handlers - ;) I'm literally 15 mins from Stansted too.

[Smokey]

Yeah, there are a fair few estates kicking about too, especially the rural area cops.

[Dan1971]

Well ....

After shelling out ?40 on autotrader and getting a load of scam emails promising me ?7K if I provide my bank details to a guy on a ship off the coast of Nigeria via gumtree - cheers Pete - I got an email from a guy via Pistonheads last night.

Gave him a ring and half hour later he was still very keen and is driving down from Coventry this afternoon to confirm it's condition. He tells me that if it's as described he'll be leaving a deposit and collecting Saturday. He currently drives a 2.5 Zetec S Mondeo and reckons that my ST will save him money on fuel !

Keep your fingers crossed for me please.

[stamford]

Fingers crossed indeed Dan.

[BUCKYDEVIL]

Good luck with the interested buyer Dan, Like to hear what you have lined up for replacement.

[Dan1971]

Cheers fellas.

This time next week I'll have a ZS again.

:mml: :mml: :mml:

[peterzs]

Still waiting for those details, :oops::oops:

Keep everything crossed for you Dan, told me he saw it first on Gumtree!!

Lamborghini v George and the Dragon, decisions, decisions!!!!

:yes::yes: :gathering::gathering:

[Dan1971]

Sold ...... :whistle:

Get in there !!!!

This seriously couldn't have been any better. He turns up in a bodykitted Zetec S, looks at mine - loves it - we go out in it - he loves it - then offers me below my bottom line for it - I refuse and then he offers me the bottom line.

Deposit paid and balance on Saturday in time for me to collect mine on Sunday.

:-D:-D:-D

[lawrence-zs180]

wooooo winner dude glasd you got it sold.

[Dan1971]

Not as glad as me pal !!!

Don't get me wrong - Great car - but costly and in todays climate i thought I'd have it for ages. Goes to show really - there are buyers out there for whatever car you've got to sell if it's in good nick.

[lawrence-zs180]

Looking forward to seeing and hearing this one :-D
