Only problem with that approach is that if people see that the same car has been up for sale for a while and not selling then they think something is up with it. If you then get bodywork all done, you`ll probably find buyers will still be knocking you down from the original price as its been on the market for ages. I had something similar happen with an ex`s car which we were trying to sell.
Id get the paintwork sorted before you sell. That way the car will look mint, all those scuffs and stone chips will be gone and anyone looking will be amazed at how well you looked after the car.
You both make some excellent points.. Well, an update, I have had a lowball offer to trade her in (yes, my Z is female ) but it would save me an awful lot of drama, unless someone wants her first.
For what it's worth:
- 2007 Rev-Up (Second Gen) 300ps EngineSilver,
- 42k miles only, Nissan Service history and stamps.
- As far as I can tell, it has every option possible from Bluetooth, to Bose to heated electrically adjusted seats etc..
- GT spec with full UK Nismo package (Bumpers, Side skirts, Rear Spoiler, 19s, and some other bits like radiator cap etc.).
- I'm the second owner and the previous owner (a lady) pretty much ticked every possible option when she bought brand new from Nissan in the UK, Northern Ireland.
- 100% unmodified
- Private plate included that more or less ends in something that spells out 350Z (yes, extremely rare - PM me for actual plate, sorry, I can't sell separately)
If someone is genuinely interested, please PM with offer as I wouldn't want to publicly discuss this car as next owner may probably become/be a member here.
