Rover Vitesse Fastback £650ono *SOLD*

This is one beautiful looking car, best of luck with the sale.

Lovely....

Thanks fellas, you'd think at this price it would be gone quick but it's gone back to ebay for a second week without so much as a viewing??

I guess everyone's feeling the pinch but this car is worth every penny, where else do you get so much bang for your buck?

Couple that with electric everything, air con, comfort and the lovely factory recaro's it seems such a bargin.

Oh well just keep waiting for that lucky guy who has a bit of cash to come and drive the old girl away....soon I hope, the scimi needs a lot of work.

and as we all know work=money!!

I know the feeling of having your pride and joy for sale with not so much as a "hello" in months of trying to sell it!

A few years back when I had my Saab for sale it was a prime example of a well cared for car, clean as, uber reliable, all the extras ect but just couldn't shift the thing even tho I had it up for sale for half the price I paid for it (and I paid a fair price really)

I put it all down to the following:
As MartinC states the age, too old but too new (if that makes sesnse??)
Which as most of the people in that catagory are looking for something to just run about in, and their usually looking for something which has above average mpg and a cheap insurance group.
The fact probably that in general the Rover brand doesn't command the money in the second hand market and have a generally less than great reputation (rightly or wrongly so!) doesn't help.
The youth of today seem to go German or even cheaper French/Italian and if its a Rover its probably going to be an MG for them!

As I say i know the pain, because iv'e been there! 2.0 Turbo, around the same bhp with TnT (slightly younger car age) and yet couldn't even get someone to view it (irionically the first person who did snapped it up)

I'd say (now for the positive bit) If you can get it on a specialist forum aswell, as most of the poeple here would agree, it's a fantastic looking car and clear (as I think you've had it up for sale before??) your very much proud of the thing!

Don't give it away, even if you have to stick another 6 months tax on because someone eventually will surely see it and go "yeh......thats nice....lets have a look!" and see how it goes from there! (although even with 6 months tax you'd probably only still get the 650)
If however your in a rush and would rather get rid of it sooner, possibly lower the price to say if I was you (around 525) that way basically including the next tax).

Its hard, and iv'e just reliased how much ive rabbited on here but unfortunatly with the way fuel/insurance/tax its a waiting game for the right buyer (uness you lower it like I did and as you see it drive off for a bargain price!!!!!)

GLWTS
