8 valve gti

Post by ace_the_bass »

after being promoted at work and being given a company car i've found that my beloved Bx is sitting on the drive and not being used. while i cant see the situation changing anytime soon i think its right to sell her. i would like somebody else to get as much pleasure out of her as i have.
obviously i will post some pictures but she is red with black speedlines, tonnes of history, lots of bills. everything works as it should, serviced by a citroen specialist last year, recent new battery and alternator, polishes up great and has been an absolute fantastic car in daily use and has never missed a beat. not perfect but no major dents or scratches, a genuine nice motor. will be looking for around £700 for her.

Generally, folk don't tend to get interested without pics. Get some up and I reckon you'll get more response.

Also, it's early days yet after only 24 hours. Photos will certainly get people talking, even if it's just to say "That's a bargain" or "How much!?"

I echo what the guy's have said. Failing any interest on the site, afterall, the majority of us have already got at least 1 bx & we don't have much room for anymore, there are some websites where you can advertise for free e.g. car & classic

There's three thing you need to flog a BX on here; pictures, pictures and some pictures! Got any pictures?! :D

Dunno if anyone mentioned pictures yet (!) - but also, any enthusiast or even vaguely knowledgeable person (for older cars generally not just BXs) won't expect a 20-ish year old car to be perfect, so some more detail on the 'best bits' (recent major works) and 'snags' would probably also be useful.
