High miles but shifts really well and still avg 42mpg

ok bottom line, £360 for cash
wheels gotta be worth half of that

So finally stopped procrastinating ( guess I just don't want to see her go ) I put the car on eBay late last night.
Got 24 watchers and one message to ask how much to end early.
I was thinking £400 to cover fees (£10 to list, plus final value fees)
However, message is from someone with zero feedback
Should I be worried if I said cash on collection only?

I stay away from 0 feedbackers.

Oh... do you have an engine undertray still?? Although, the D8 one is different from D9 one, isn't it?

Don't worry too much about the zero feedback - if they come & give you the cash for the car, you'd be happy enough. The only thing I would advise (& this applies whether they have zero or 1000 feedback) is not to end the listing until the money is in your hand & they've left with the car.

Good point
Thanks mate

@CJ no sorry think it walked when clutch was changed

Had another message from someone asking for contact details so will see what comes of that first as they at least have feedback

Messaged both of them back, but nothing come of them yet

However, I started it at £200, and got my first bid - i'll be pretty pi$$ed if I don't get anymore lol

Hopefully you'll get what you want (and more) btw when your getting excited about watchers remember to do a -1 to allow for a nosy welsh bastard.

There is a starter I could get off the bay for £18 and i've messaged the seller and got the vin off him, and it appears to be the same part number
From what I can tell, the starter motor might be a pretty universal part

Was really struggling for any spare cash, but think in this instance, i'd be better biting the bullet, buy the starter, get it fitted and sell as a runner.

Think if the weather DOESN'T do as predicted, then i'll pull the starter off mine, test it to make sure, and get then get this one bought if no one else bids on it

I'm sure you can pull up to 24hrs prior to end of auction, so i've got till saturday night to sort.
Battery is off at mo and on charge

You're going to end up putting it back on the road and flogging the dingo...
