Low mileage storm on Ebay

[ChrisL 15]

this looks alright, bit of a poor advert though.

Wonder what it will sell for

I stumbled across this earlier. But short in the detail!!

Nice... Looks like some old chaps... But no aircon... Wrong colour for me.... Looks genuine..

there is also a 16v on ebay for £8000 with 38000 on clock, seems slightly overpriced for a valver?

Yup that's been on pistonheads for a very long time....

Really gone to town on selling that .

Seems a crazy time to sell really, unless his hand has been forced. Prices on Corrado's like that are only going to one one way at this point.

 

I'll lay bets now that a trader will pick that up and it'll be up for sale on a 'specialist' forecourt for 10k in a few weeks time.

[MarkR 11]

One bid at £6k and the reserve has not been met.

Still has 5 days left though. If someone were to pick that up for under £8k, that would be a bargain. As said previously, the price of late, low miles cars in that condition are only going to go up now.

 

The car is in York, which is also where I'm based if anyone whos seriously interested would like me to go and give it a quick look over for them? :)

Bit sparse on details which is strange - would have thought someone selling that would be marketing it better

I offered to go and look around the car for him, and give him some pointers for his advert and the content of it, but he's declined saying he's already getting loads of interest as it is.

Just spoke to the guy he is selling on behalf of his father, no real details just that its never had any paint or repairs just been serviced by the vw garage every year....

[emmib 10]

only 15 mins to go its got 3 bids on up to £6,300 BUT reserve not been met as yet

the stealth conversion one with the shrick cams and total engine rebuild failed to sell at 4750 its now been relisted and has bids on and is on 1750 when i last checked, a lovely car with all that doe spent on it, :scratch:

[delfinis38 1]

7900 and reserve not met.

[Chuggs1 10]

They were having a laugh in that case. All for prices going up but that may have been pushing it especially with such a rubbish advert.

Testing the water I guess.... Only tentative reason to sell. I reckon reserve must of been 10k.

[Chuggs1 10]

Showing bids to the level they went to says something though

[Billzeebub 1]

I sold my 94 M VR6 for just under £7k in July 2014. It had done 58k miles with 17 VAG service stamps, 2 previous owners, all old MOTs, huge file of history etc and everything worked perfectly with not a mark on it anywhere. The Aqua Blue Paint & Beige leather were pristine. This chap setting a reserve so high with little info seems ridiculous to me. A 50k mile 20 year old car could be a dogs dinner if it hasn't had work. The market for these cars generally isn't anywhere near that despite a few recent 'Dealer' pricing strategies & those cars haven't sold.

I wonder if it is resisted or whether a deal is struck of eBay? Still it is very encouraging that someone is prepared to offer nearly £8k.

[ChrisL 15]

One looks to have sold that was up for £9,990, don't know what it actually went for though.

 

If the Storm is 10k worth, it should have had a much better write up and not just on eBay either.
