I sold my car on feebay a couple of weeks ago.333 views, 23 watchers, lots of questions in the last few hours of the auction. Only one bid, sold for starting price. I was a bit disappointed as I was hoping to get more for it. I have never sold a car on the bay before but I thought I had done a reasonable job with the listing/photos etc. - link below

Then last night the auction for this one finished, older, more miles, no detailed history/ leather/projectors etc

Having bought my Miggy on the 'bay I am not too surprised you got such a low figure for your car Albs, they are just not fetching much especially with high mileage - after having all that good work done you would have been better to keep it a few more years - my 1996 estate cost £500, had done 103,000 miles with a few months' tax and MOT still on it with a 3/4 tank full, and i got the train to Cambridge to collect it, it needed a good service, brakes and tyres (one was illegal
) ...but don't they all ?
I still have a 96 Miggy which is still only worth a few hundred pounds, but will see me for a few years yet with the repairs done, perhaps i should have spent £1500 on a later model, but that would need tyres, brakes and an engine service as well, and would still only be worth a few hundred in 5 years time...
