    Congrats.

    That was after the price was reduced from £5,500 to £4,800...?

    Dare we ask what it sold for? (Honestly!) 🤓 (see how close we were) 
    Sold for £4650 which I think was quite good compared to £3300 trade in.

    A bit less than your original price - but a decent value overall. Good to see it’s gone 👍👍

    So the people who said back on pages 1 and 2 that it was high by a grand at £5.5k were pretty much bob-on.

    I think you did very well there, especially with  euro 5 diesel in London. Good result.

    Bite the bullet and go to one of those car sites - cuts out all the risks but pay that little extra to get the money into your account A-Sap
