with it being so specialist the buyer will come along its just not like selling a focus.
Good luck with the sale, it looks great!
Hi All
Looking to your collective wisdom. I am selling my much loved Alpina B10. I have it advertised on
Pistonheads but I'm conscious that I'm missing a good portion of even the
enthusiastic motoring population. Where would you suggest I advertise?
Unfortunately eBay is full of messers, and you'llprobably get lots of "£50 offers" for your pride and joy. Having said that, you can
put it up as a classified listing, and try to avoid potential morons.
Auto trader is a good bet - magazine and online usually attract a fair amount of people, but I would have to say your best bet (in my opinion) would
be a BMW specialist magazine. At least people there will appreciate it for what it is, and not view it as merely a '5-series'.
I personally sold my last 528SE on eBay using classified ad, but when I bought my recent P38 Range Rover, I looked in the back of 4x4 magazines as I
was quite specific about what I was looking for.
Have you tried the 5forum
I would avoid ebay imho, whenever I go on ebay I expect to pay less then half of what anythings actually worth, I also suspect things to be slightly dodgy most of the time - neither are assumptions that you want potential buyers to have when you're trying to sell a nice car!

Completely OT, but isn't that avatar from Noggin the Nog?
Memories.......
when I asked you before about price etc my friend ended up paying 5k for a one owner car with 100k on the clock. Its like new so a lot is to do with pricing I think.

You missed off Pistonheads by the looks of it. Otherwise its got to be a specialist BMW site surely. How many of the general public know what an Alpina is??
What does the law inUK says about putting vinyl Pound or Euro signs on the windows and driving around?
I do that with my cars in Mexico and within a couple of months I´ve always had something real close to my asking price.
My 2 cents
