Why I Bought This XR6 For Cash
Do a search on CarSales, like I just did, and there are 152 2005 Ford Falcon XR6s for sale.
When you are trying to sell a car, whether it is to me, someone who deals in cars, or retail on a website like CarSales, ask yourself this:
How is my car any different to all the other ones for sale?
Although price is very important, it is definitely not the only factor that will sell your car a bit more quickly.
Here is a video of the Falcon XR6 a young guy wanted to sell last week and I paid cash on the spot for it.
Apart from making the little mistake of calling this a UTE, what did you see that made this XR6 a bit different?
Firstly the wheels stand out.
You could say the colour, but it is a fact XR6 and XR8 models came out with some pretty funky colours so that does not count as anything different.
Low kms is another factor.
Allow me to digress onto a little side story to highlight this point.
My parents just bought a 2003 Hyundai Getz.
If you check Redbook, CarSales or anywhere else, they will advise this car is only worth about $1,500.
They paid $6,500 and consider it a bargain.
Why?
It only had 16,500kms on the clock and had recently got its timing belt changed and cruise control retro-fitted.
The moral of this example?
Every car needs to be assessed on its merits and what makes it even just a little bit different to all the others may put more money in your pocket.
Do you have a car – or even more specifically in tune with this post – a Ford Falcon XR6 that has anything just a little bit different about it to sell? Call me on 0411 362 229 and see if I can have a look at it and make you a cash offer to buy it.
