General One for the regulars......8v and 16v

I may be selling mine soon, or attempting to. It has 117k miles now but is in very good order. If I get £2k for it the party poppers will be out frankly.

Are you going to be brave and rely on the market to tell you what it's worth? i.e. stick it on ebay from 1p with no reserve?!

I've sold lots of valuable stuff on ebay and am confident that you get a higher price if you start at 1p - you get the attention of people that wouldn't bother looking if it started at a sensible price. Then they realise it looks nice, set their heart on it and bid a sensible amount. It only needs two people to want it to drive the price up.

It can be a bit stressful for the seller though, especially if not a lot happens until the closing seconds.

If so what's the data cable hanging out of the dash on the passenger side?

 

[dave]

maybe hard wired phone or satnav charger, or is there a usb socket in glovebox?

Yep, that's mine. Cable is a Nokia phone power cable. I didn't want to start pulling it out in case it did anything. At least I assume it is a Nokia cable - the bluetooth is Nokia anyway.

8v or 16v - which is best? There's only one way to find out...

that is a lot of car for hardly no money, shame its not auto

stick it on ebay with that as the start price, you never know you may get more if people see all the others are over £4k atm.
seems to be a lot of people looking for them now

I doubt it would sell at £2k. 2 reasons. No one wants a car with 117k miles, and no one wants a Croma! Which is wrong on both counts! It honeslly drives like it has done 40k. And I would have a Croma with pleasure any day of the week. In fact came damn close to getting a 2.4 last year but sense kicked in. Anyway, this Ulysse bus is good for our "needs" (ugh) but I dont relish it over the Croma. And wouldn't entertain it without the Lancia and SL to play with.....

And the Croma is still better than all of them!
