Sorry for the tempered reply to your post, if you hold your mouse cursor over the smiley on your message you will see that the literal meaning is 'shut up'.

My car has been for sale for 3 weeks and I haven’t even had 1 person look at it, that’s probably why I took cumbrance to your post.

:thumbsup:

[stamford]

I find it staggering that such cars are going for what can be perceived as 'silly prices' when there are much worse marques out there for more money. Obviously the stigma is still there for any MGR cars, not just vehicle excise duty classification.

It really is a buyers market, a real shame.

One day it will turn! Mark my words! :D

I know i bought my 2003 120+ just over 3 months ago with 60k on the clock, full MGR service history, a dented rear door and a cracked bumper (which I got sorted for £250 by a mate!!) for a staggering £1850!!!! :thumbsup:I could not fine a better car for that sort of money!! A shame for exsisting owners I know:thumbsdown:

[Spottyfrog]

Ok guys, I need help shifting my car. Ive tried Autotrader and pistonheads with no joy. I havent even had 1 viewer.

What do you think of ebay? how much is it likely to go for without reserve?

Any other sugestions?

Someone must have a mate who would love this car.

[Jon_A]

I cannot believe you haven't had any interest! Good luck with the sale.

[stamford]

Ebay with no reserve, very risky! I too cannot believe it has not been snapped up. Just wish I had the money as I would!

[Dan1971]

I've had mine on ebay. A classified will cost you £12.99 for 28 days. I had mine on for £4,500 and got a "Best offer" of £3,500. I rate the classified way of selling better as you get to sell it the old fashioned way and don't pay a seller fee which you would if it sold via the auction route, however you could do an auction with a reserve set at what you'd let it go for. Make sure you build in the fee that they charge on top of your minimum selling figure. My last auction closed at £2,550 and that was with a bit of help. Mention in there if you'd consider swaps etc. That may help in letting it go. Even if it's not a car, you could take a classic, or a track car/bike, boat, caravan, PC BMX ... whatever.

Honestly though, the best option for me selling has either been an autotrader web only, or in the local free newpaper classified section.

Similarly to you though ... no-one's after a Mk 2 ZS 180 at the moment.

[ZS180V6]

Hard to sell at the moment.

There are som cheap ones around have put a few offers in myself..

Best buy at the moment is 06 plate for 4k so that gives you an idea of price.

I think you are looking at 3k but you never know...

Good luck with the sale...............

that would inspire me even more to keep the car IMHO

I couldnt let mine go for so little money

Its the same thing Skoda had ages ago "I wont touch a Skoda wirh a bargepole" look at them now

I think the same thing applys to MG/Rover at the minute lets hope the squinty eyed fellas do something decent with MG

[stamford]

MGRover didn't become a bad marque overnight, just suffering due to being the last great mass produced British car maker gone to the wall. In time they will become collectable and sought after as those that don't care about them let them get scrapped etc so they become thin on the ground. The 180's will be a future classic I am sure. I've been there before with other marques and models, back then they were two a penny, today even the 'basket cases' are fetching silly money.

Keep the faith!

[dvid]

Based on current values I am keeping my 06 plate for another year at least, like it has been said, they aren't shifting and mine is in the higher tax band too, hopefully I will need a more family orientated car this time next year so if I cant make more than 4K for it I will just chop it in and count my losses

[Spottyfrog]

Price now £3250.One of you mk1 guys must want to upgrade! lol

[stamford]

Yes I'd like to, but in addition to the mk1 :laugh:

Hi there - i've just joined after speaking with Dan.

He recommended i look at this page, but its just twigged that i went to look at your car last week at County Liq.

I'm a real petrolhead, and am really looking at getting a ZS180 Mk2. I'm usually found on Pistonheads, and do some road tests for them.

BUT - i don't know if you've not been down to see it, but your 180 at CL is in a right state. Its very dirty, is in need of a hoovering inside, and basically looks a mess.

I'm not being arsey - i just don't know if you're aware or not. I know as a potential buyer it really put me off. You may want to have a word with them.

Just to clarify, i'm not having a go or anything - i just know what its like trying to sell at the moment - you need every bit of help you can get!

[Spottyfrog]

I went down to CL to see the guys there yesterday (before I read your post). I now have the car at home for the very reasons you mentioned above. Ive already been out and cleaned it, I dont know what the hell they have been upto in it but it was filthy.

Thanks for the heads up anyway mate.

[Beefmeister]

No worries - they just didn't seem to care about any of their cars.

When i mentioned that the ZS180 is a great car, the guy said "yeah, it handles brilliantly and is really quick - this one makes a great noise on full throttle too".

So one would expect that they'd driven it a little bit...

Anyhoo, i need a buyer for my TF160, but if i get one i'll be keeping a look out to see if yours is still available...

[Spottyfrog]

sold

[Dan1971]

sold

Well done mate ... last night I felt bad for you as mine had sold ... You happy with what you got for it ?

[stamford]

Someone else has got a bargin. I'm feeling left out here, shall I sell mine ;)

[Dan1971]

If there was even an ounce of truth in that I'd answer. :no:

[stamford]

Moi? surely not! :laugh:
