1980 Orange aircooled

[michaelodonnell500]

I think it's a shame to be getting all these negative views when nobody has looked at the car.
I've seen it, It is immaculate. It was taken by Pinewood studios for filming so they must have been content with its roadworthiness.
If there is someone out there wishing to buy it then I think it's a bit unfair that they are likely to be put off by people who haven't seen the car and have no interest in buying it.
'devoncol' had a very hard time trying to sell his 83 Brown. I didn't agree with his price either, but the lack of offers would have told him that.
We are lucky that we can sometimes get the oppertunity to buy cars before they go on ebay, but with responses like these, people will go straight to ebay with their cars.

Looking at all the work and money gone into the car, hard to find an early 126 ready to go, in this condition for this money at the moment.

People can always 'try before they buy' surely. Unlike the usual Ebay gamble.
We know the owner knows a little about 126 cars

Michael - you got 5 points from me   And now seriously - Ebay is a poo place. There is 5h to go and the highest bid from a bidder with only 3 points (0,0% positive feedback as all 3 points were earned longer than 12 months ago) and obiously no contact what so ever (I did try to confirm this bid).
So as far as I know my luck there will be no sale what so ever and I will be f****d just because someone is a complete idiot or something
Whats is wrong with people?
I should introduce the same solution than in a case of some of my favourite nation (have a look in MONKEY BIKE STOLEN)

[michaelodonnell500]

You'll easily clear £1600 with those bids, just as long as you don't get lumbereed with a buyer who cant collect till next week!!

I see it went for £1550

[Jan-in-UK]

It did but SOME ASHOLE just notify me by email "somebody was using his account"......... Zero f***n feedback, account open just now, I HAVE NO MORE PATIENCE FOR IDIOTS WHAT SO EVER. From today on WAR against idiots. I am tired, can't understand what they have in THESE S****T HEADS!!!!!!!!!!!!
So looks like I will be keepin' it for some time then as no time to put auction again. Will talk to some German guy who sounds very reasonable and he offered much more. We will see.
Brake from Ebay for sure, asholes and asholes everywhere....

[dajwid]

I think we all have Ebay horror stories to tell. You can filter the bidding. Personally I thing prices will go up as the weather gets better, the show season begins and people will be looking for a summer show car, thats fun too.

[fiatfsm]

Ive sold loads on ebay, cars, bikes etc and only once got messed about. Its a very good place in general but you do get some idiots. Using a classified listing is better, cheaper and it cuts the idiots out.

[Jan-in-UK]

If anyone can pay £1400 cash and pick it up tomorrow or Sunday I will be happy to sell.... Something else is coming so I am in rush. And polonez need some "care" as well so can't have all goods on the planet.
If not - I will list it again on Ebay Monday but this time as classified add - NO MORE IDIOTS

hi jan, sorry your ebay auction fell through, some right nobs outthere, anyway if you could which you cant due to fact you need the money , get it registered in the uk , boost your sale no end .

the average joe, treating his daughter or someone they love, even themselves . might be frightened by the fact its not registered in the uk, and they would have to wait and find out how to do it, dispite it being a easy process .

anyway saying that , it should have sold anyway ...


keeo us posted as sure you will. hey keep off your own justice just yet he he , then you can knee cap people and find them ditches   he he

take care and good luck  .

Well, you're right. It might help but taking into account prices of 126 at present I would have to spen additional £100 for insurance and about £120 for dvla fee plus roadtax. So £220 I will never get back. Plus one day off to deal with my local office. From my point of you it would be much easier for the new owner to do it for himself buying my fiat cheaper. I think you are right people are scared of the process. But my main problem is I jjust have not enought time to even sleep, not mentioning one day off during week. Money is another factor but this is changing in my business every week so I suppse if I will keep it long enough to register it then I will either keep it either sell but for much more. There is not much competition for my car really on the Market especially I did recieved huge box with accesories yesterday and if I put in on 126 then we have amazing small car. So I am not keen to add all this, spend time and money to sell it £100 more expensive than it can does on eBay as is.

If you could afford to hold on to it & put it up for sale at a Classic Car Show in the spring/summer I think it would get a lot of interest & you could get the sort of money you're looking for. The Uxbridge car show could be a good place if you still have it then.

[Amateb8]

I agree with Derek definitely. Your orange aircooled is lovely. I am sure you can get your asking price and possibly more if you readvertise it in the classified ads (car and classic type) and on ebay simultaneously in the spring/summer time. It is all down to timing. Keep it original. I love the colour.

[Jan-in-UK]

Ok, I did registered 126 in DVLA today. So in 48h I will recieve plates certificate and reg number  [-/ logbook will follow in 10 working days.
Now for everyone - let's make some guessing. 126 will go on Ebay as soon as I will have all these papers.
Whoever want - lets guess what it will fetch in 10 days auction being UK registere, with 6 months tax + obviously loads of pictures will be given to potential buyers plus wide description.
When I sell it whoever will be the closest with his guess will get VERY NICE and impossible to buy present for his 126 (both air and BIS are fine) well worth good guess  [-/

£1750, IF I WIN , CAN I HAVE A RACE ENGINE?..LOL
