C63 507 Model Register

[Goldeneye]

Just a note to say I no longer own my 507 Coupe. It was traded in (at a great price) to Grant Kirby for the Hell Green AMG GTR he had available. It all happened very quickly as I had only gone to see the GTR out of interest as the spec was exactly what I would have ordered from new, but the pictures did not do the car justice and I just had to have it. My 507 was on his website for about an hour before it sold and is going to it's new owner somewhere near Birmingham in the next day or two.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my ownership of the 507 and the help this forum and thread have provided to me over the years. I'll keep dropping by and posting where I have something useful to add and hope to catch up with a few of you at meets like BOTG as the years moves on.

*Ahem* guilty! Finally collected it yesterday after a busy schedule and it's absolutely lovely! A massive credit to you for keeping it tip top mate, it's probably the only car I've purchased that doesn't need a wheel alignment! Hope you enjoy your GTR, this beauty will continue to be cherished as well

That's great news, I'm really pleased the car has gone to someone who will look after it I hope you have a great time with it now the weather is picking up, will try to cross paths with you at a meet sometime this year.

Nope mine had more options! And was a year newer and much less miles!

I thought it was your old one the moment I saw it! Just assumed that since you sold it approximately a year ago, it had gained some fair miles etc

Didn’t even meet reserve! Wishful thinking on someone’s part.

As is every auction, which I can tell you isn’t true.

How can you tell if it's really sold?

Watch the auction and if it shows no reserve it means the reserve was met. However, with CC, they can reduce their fees to get a sale. So if the car has missed the reserve by 1k, CC will take less of the fees to get the sale. Better to get something over nothing from their point of view. Very risky if the buyer is having friends bid the auction up and they don’t realise this..!

On my screen it does not show a reserve but does clearly say sold....strange.

Yep it’s quite annoying! There is a lot of unsold cars on there.

 

[IbanezDan51]

Says this sold for 7k… doubtful given the lowest mileage one on autotrader is almost double the price with three times the miles…

2007 HONDA CIVIC (FN2) TYPE R GT - 13,289 MILES

A wonderful, low-mileage example of the second version of the iconic hot hatch.

I just found a great car on Auto Trader:


Auto Trader UK - New and Used Cars For Sale

 

[Spider10]

I wouldn't pay that for 1 they weren't that good

Hes probably used CC to gauge the market as it's free to put your car on, ,probably be on auto trader in a couple of weeks

They only want to put things on that sell, so they usually only take soemthing that they believe has a realistic reserve. Maybe this didn’t because the prices online are literally all over the place it’s absurd.
