Is the 3.2 auto or manual? (I assume auto...)

[joshwyatt]

It is indeed an auto 

[Bumbazor]

Do you know how soon these will be available?

[joshwyatt]

Effectively from now, photo's should be tomorrow or the following day. Two are loacted in Scotland, and the other in Cornwall, so they shall be transported to me asap.

[Bumbazor]

Ok, thanks. As a matter of interest where in Oxford will they be when ready?

They will be in Kidlington, which is four miles from Oxford city centre.

Damn, and I was going to offer on the 3.2 but was waiting for pictures...

[guncharmer]

Bit peculiar asking for tenders,awaiting photos(only way of assessing damage in my case) and 2 sold already.Sounds like the cars have a set price and if its reached they are sold.In which case,how much for the last one? Or have i got it wrong and they have been sold before they got to you?

[joshwyatt]

Tender is not really a peculair way of selling, it's common place by companies and cerain public bodies. I am selling other vehicles on thier behalf...they typically acheive a greater price than auction.
The vehicles are not in my custody as a trader, I find buyers and they purchase from the comapny owner, I get a fee for each vehicle sold, no matter what they sell for. Any offer is submitted to the company for their consideration, they accept or decline...it's not my decision. However, I don't know what the set prices are.
Photographs give a good indication, but both vehicles had the purchasers view the vehicle in person, make an offer and in both cases the offers were accepted.
The 3.2 estate sold for £1250.

[guncharmer]

Thanks for the reply,can see how the sales are operating(not strictly tender as wouldn`t that suggest a closing time/date and the highest tender normally being accepted). And yet putting in an offer is `tendering`.Anyway,splitting hairs.Handy enough for a buyer to be happy with their offer and have it accepted though , yet they will always have a nagging doubt they may have got it for less.

[joshwyatt]

I agree with you guncharmer, not strictly tender, and personally I don't think it's the best way to do it. But my instructions were clear,and that's the way they wanted to do it. I would have preferred to sell them normally, advertise them at a price I thought was cheap enough to attract potential purchasers, but high enough to maximise the potential.
I explained that to them, but they wanted it this way 
And your last point is a very valid, good one to make. For example you could put an offer in for £1500 and think you were getting it cheap enough, when the company would have been happy with £1200.
This isn't going to be a regular occurence, sale by tender, just on this occasion.
I note you're looking for a 3.2 MV6 estate, is that correct?

[guncharmer]

It is certainly not incorrect,estate or saloon, 3.2 MV6,ideally sunroof and leather,do not dislike the fabric and very impressed with the recaro seat type and have i suffered leather in a hot summer so know the downsides.
Have been off trying to value the 03 dti elite  and contemplating putting in a low tender in the pursuit of profit! Decided that with my luck even if it was accepted the diesel pump would destroy itself on the drive home!
Currently got a petrol blue metallic,like the colour and strangely pleased with how it looks when splattered in mud.Theres a 3.2MV6 estate on pistonheads at the moment in burgundy and have to say the colour comes over very well(too many miles though).I need a towbar but dont want to buy a car thats got one !,unless the owner was like me and tows a small trailer to the tip 3 or 4 times a year.

[guncharmer]

I will add that although i normally swear by auto`s a few bits of rapid driving recently in my MV6 auto had me realising how much better it would have been in a manual and at times i was having to back off as i didn`t have the control and there is a big difference when you find the engine revs are suddenly at 3500 when you wanted 5500 and full drive.
