"Erk!"

I have expressed my interest in purchasing a 75. So I thought that I should make steps towards the change, I put my trusty A4 on Flea Bay in a classified ad. Its been on for 24 hrs and 40 minutes and I have had stacks of interest.
I have had an offer from a guy who has 100% + feed back, he wants to pick it up at the weekend!. I only filled it up yesterday!! I'll never use all that fuel by the weekend!!!
Then I'm going to be without a car, so I will need to find a 75 fairly sharpish!! all a bit quick!

hi Nige.
welcome to the club. first I'll say don't count your chickens before they hatch. lots of interest doesn't necessarily mean a sale= ebay is sadly full of timewasters with nothing better to do than pretend to be interested in your car. re the fuel I'd say if the guy is gen wanting to buy at weekend I'd let it go full and be gratefull for an easy sale as some folk advertise for months trying to drum up some interest in they'r car, admittedly imo because they are greedy with asking price, I believe if an item is priced right someone will buy it. good luck

Hi Rotrex,
I agree that there are lots of time wasters on Flea Bay, my suprise is the amount of interest that I have had in such a short time. 100 hits and 20 watchers in 24 hours is pretty good. I have sold several cars on Flea bay over the years and have had good and bad experiences.

Still its a means to a ends, so fingers crossed!

1st one i think they have got a little confused with the engine size quoting 1851cc for the CDT

2nd one looks tidy but i personally don't like OE alloys but like i said it's a personal choice.
