Which of course means we can't access the listing until then??

Yes, sorry, wanted to give you the heads up that it would be on. The reason for 2100 is that it will finish at 2100 in 10 days time, a Sunday. Seems like a time when people will be available to bid!

Hi Tim.

Yeah, I thought that would be the reason and seems like a good idea too. :lol:

Can't disagree with your thinking on the planned listing start time as well. I have used that feature a number of time to ensure a listing finishes at a sensible time.

Good luck with the sale anyway.

No other comments or interest?

I would take £2500 from a club member.

Service history is not everything and the mileage is only just above average for a 7 year old car. Service history is mechanical, and all mechanical bits can be replaced. A hard roughly driven car with service history to me is no better than one which has been cosseted with no history. To me a good condition body inside and out with no rust and little or no damage is much more important.

If you knew anything about 75 diesels, you would know that mileage is a small consideration if the body is good.

after spending £3000 on two fully assembled cylinder heads for an A4 i had due to very badly worn cam shafts due to infrequent oil changes i dont take chances with gaps in the history, if it was priced more realistically it would have sold much quicker. Im aware how good these cars are at soaking up the miles as mine has 124000 on it . But with a full history.

I would be immediately put off bidding by the £2000 starting bid and the words "reserve not met". It means prospective buyers know your range is between £2100 and £2600 so they don't have any scope to get themselves a bargain.

I would start the bidding at £99 and set a sensible reserve. It give buyers a chance to actually bid on something and gets people interested in the auction. You will find you get a few bids early in the auction to take it up to just over a grand or so. This means people are interested and looking at it. If they see £2000 reserve not met, a lot of folks will just carry on clicking to the next car.

Alternatively if you are not in a rush to sell just stick it on a classified add for £2450 and see if you get any interest.
