MK1Campaign 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Saw this on Pistonheads but was sold in hours http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/76551.htm Could be a fluke but now its here http://stone.he.net/~csis01/volkscars/v ... ?ref=STORM Fair play. A quick profit there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue_Joe 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Very much doubt he'll actually end up making a profit on that! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MK1Campaign 0 Posted May 7, 2006 Ive seen loads that have come from internet sales sites straight onto his and most the markups have been £2k plus. Theyve all sold pretty quick too. People seem to be willing to pay it for nice examples. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 South 0 Posted May 7, 2006 I expect if you went and made an offer, the response would probably be "sorry I'm not making much on this one " Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 7, 2006 idd, he hasn't made a profit till the cash is in the bank I could advertise mine for 30k, doesn't mean I have made a 25k profit ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 South 0 Posted May 7, 2006 The thing is that some people will only buy from traders, and are prepared to pay a premium for a three month warranty thay usually covers next to nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted May 8, 2006 Volkscars always sell stuff with huge price tags, but people must be stupid enough to pay it cos they keep selling cars... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 8, 2006 I think some folk assume the high price is a reflection of the car's condition and quality over cheaper ones, but you can get the same for less if you shop around.....but it's amazing how you convince yourself it's a good buy when you're stood next to a car! IMO £9,500 is only £6-7k cheaper than a brand new GTI from a car supermarket and I know what I'd rather have :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
