Project A - SOLD!!
14. Aug 2006 at 17:39

Just sold Project A

I put an advert on Autotrader on Saturday, 2 people rang today, first guy who showed up bought it!

For those who did't know i bought it for £350 off eBay 2 weeks ago, crappy format on eBay and rubbish pictures did't help its sale.

Sold it for £750

I estimate around £100 costs in total to fix it up - So £300 profit for basically 3 full days of work. Yay!!!

Pics of it today:

Trouble is now i want another one!!! Already got my eye on another! Grin

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

I now have so much cash my wallet won't close!! Grin

I would be extremley interested if there are any megga's going though TD. Can you go all over the cars at that auction? The BCA Blackbush one lets you get in it and look under the bonnet and generally noisey all around it, but I heard some places keep it all locked until it gets driven though?

Thanks MarkDTM, presentation is everything, i put it on autotrader with the max pictures allowed of 9

For anyone interested, this is how it was lised on Autotrader (mines the first one):

As soon as someone was coming down i bought a can of bumper black stuff and got that looking like new, apart from the rust patches it looked very nice. Sad to see it go, i loved the V6 power!! Sad

Well done mate delighted for you!

So you are £300 up - ideally you want to do the same again and be another £300 up.

Then take out your original money you funded and work soley on the profits - that way if you ever lose money its not technically your funds Wink

If you know what i mean.

Thats the way i work with auctions eventually only working with the profits and the original capital is back in the bank
