Sold for £21450 at auction but first dealer rejected it for mismatching paintwork on driver's door and a few other niggles. Sold for £21k and now up for sale here at £27995.

The Arnage I returned to Bentley is up for sale 'privately' here for £35k - £6k more than I had paid for it.

And your point??

I still don't see why you begrudge a man a profit!!

Or is it that you want to think you 'nicked it'??

And it really p***s me off that Sytner allow private buyers on a trade auction site.

Looks like the guy has priced that pretty well to move it on reasonably quickly, he takes a bid at a couple of £1k under the price and he's earned a few quid. He must of spent a little bit prepping it so good luck to him.

Are you still in the market stats?

Information sharing - nothing more.

Unlikely - in the same way they will continue to bid on their own cars to inflate the prices. It's a gold mine for them and they know it.

Still considering it though might wait until the facelifted cars are at £30k.

it looks nice and i would buy it from the later seller, no problem: it's a garage, and should manage a 6months warranty or something.

Same as the others here...don't see the problem with one man making a profit.

Just tried to register as a private buyer but it seems they only allow motor traders to do so.

What evidence have you got to support this?

I thought you knew everything there was to know about the auction business? I'm sure you have a few friends from your franchise days left so ask around.

As I thought, nothing to back up your claim, only hot air, figuratively speaking.

I do have friends from my franchise days, some who have come across you, I now know all I need to about what sort of man you are. wink

Struck a nerve? Couldn't be further from the truth. I stood up for my rights and won. If your 'friend' had been decent and honest in the first place he wouldn't have wasted everybody's time and lost even more money on the car. Pass on my regards whistle.

I'd struggle as I don't know the bloke. Not the story I heard from my source's though. wink

But you keep on fighting on valiantly on everyones behalf to uncover the truth. judge

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No it's SuperStats, selflessly righting the wrongs of the motortrade.

Without, of course, admitting that there's ever anything dodgy about floging second hand boats though.

I see there's another, rather nice Arnage T for sale on the Sytner auction site, perhaps the OP would enlighten us all as to what he thinks its value is and how much margin would be acceptable to him for the successful buyer/trader to make. Unless of course he's going to pick up a bargain and have it for himself.

Rather nice? The red interior is vile.
