Yes you must be right. I will immediately drop £10k off the asking price. After all thats why a dealer offered me £62.5k yesterday....

So you've now been offered £500 more than you were in July?? I'd keep the car, it's going up in price!

[chunky79]

Aye, given the history of the purchase and the vehicle itself.

'History of the purchase and the vehicle itself'......do tell. Oh and before you commit yourself I'd read ALL of the relevant threads. Seriously. If you don't want to discuss on open forum then do it via PM.

Interesting post.
Is this the car that had the random emergency stop issue?

No that was another one and that sounded like a genuine dangerous fault with that car. Really don't want to go over all the details again as it was all done to death at the time and there's a very lengthy thread on the matter-if you want to read it go for it but basically a non-story.

In my opinion just get rid, quick!

You are in a financial position you don't want to be in and every month you mess around the car loses money and you make another payment, sell it asap and THEN make you mind up what you want.

This stalling is only adding to your money woes?

>£1000 per month on a car payment is a LOT of money if a) You're not happy
b) you can't afford it!

£10k+ loss in 3/4 months Ouch!

Hope you learn from it

Is it because the car was a previous lemon that it's not selling? Or you just holding out for too much?

There's still some confusion on this thread it seems! At the risk of going round in circles:

1. Love the C7. Awesome car and glad I got one, however a change in circumstances plus a realisation that paying circa £1100 a month for a car is far too much. Key goal is less outgoings so the sums need add up whereby I'm not seeing myself off even more by shelling a load of cash just to get clear.

2. Car was nigh as dammit £70k in April when I bought it. Currently the asking price is £65,500 ono which (and I'm gash at maths) is in no way £10k! Most dealers have offered 58/59 (it may 'book' at £54k as someone on here kindly pointed out but the reality is very different I found) and three have offered £62-62.5k. Again the sums need to balance out as finance needs to be paid off before getting into the next (cheaper) car (whatever that will be but best case a second hand one and not new).

3. Seems the 'lemon' tag is still being bandied about. This was done to death on a different thread and evolved from beliefs/allegations that the car was a wrong 'un. Did LOTS of digging from many sources. Bought the car. Make your own deliberations. Allegations and beliefs are very much like 'opinions' Don.

Hope this clears it up a bit?

I would take that offer of £62.5k and move on the more you wait it out for a better price the more it depreciates.

How many payments of £1100 have you made? 4? £4400

You paid £70500 for it, You've been offered £62500? £8000

£4400 + £8000 = £12400 (pretty sure that's £10k+)

Yup, Real maths and Man maths don't often match

Aha ok I thought you meant the car had depreciated £10k! I don't count monthly payments as we all have to do that on finance (those that have to I know there are the lucky few who own their cars outright or are mad/flush enough to be a cash buyer for a big car).
We'll see how it all turns out. Selling cars is always such a pleasure. Not.

I think (and others have said) you need to face up to the fact you're gonna take a large loss and get on with it

I think you were mad buying a £70k car fully on credit, even madder to realise you need to sell it 3 months later

The problem with a car of such value, the most likely buyer will be a trader, and they want their cut too

It's not gonna go up in value, and each month whether you count it or not, you're spunking another £1100 down the toilet

If £62500 is the best offer you've had by now (several weeks on sale?) you should take it

[A20LEE]

Take the £62.5k, is the best offer you've had and C7's are losing money fast. No one buys a car like this privately, that would be stupid.

[PSB1]

You put nowt down and now have to sell (so soon)? As others have said, take the 62.5, swallow the loss. I'd lease something less tasty (a safer route as a permie), the issue of the high monthlies will make you resent the car.

Effectively, you're just paying the deposit at sale rather than purchase.

£62.5k is strong money, I'd rip their arm off for it and move on!
