Thread: Best place to sell D3?

I bought my D3 through Carsales.com and got a nice drive back from Sydney as part of the deal !!!!

Yeah Jonesy the dealers don't seem too keen... when looking seriously at a trade on a new set of wheels in recent weeks, they told me the HSE was too high end for them to yard so tried to place it and no one was interested. Trade came in from $18k to about $25k which was ridiculous and stopped the deal.

Private sale is the way to go for sure.. I've bought and sold a load of vehicles on fleabay with great success and everyone always checks out carssales.

Happy selling!

Sold my D3 on carsales. Got the money I wanted without any haggling. Heaps of calls, even up to 2 weeks after it had sold.
The bloke that bought it was from Mt Gambier (I'm from the Mornington Peninsula) and paid for it it full, sight unseen. All I had to do was take it to a transport company in Melbourne.
Dream deal.
Having said this, I also bought a car years ago (since sold) on fleabay for the wife from Sydney. Never had a problem with it.
Cheers, Craig.

Thanks again everyone!

I'll be busy this weekend, taking out: aux battery setup, Optima D34, DVD-stereo/2-DIN dash fascia/steering wheel interface/iPod interface/amp/sub/speakers, side protection bars, one roof bar (it has 3), and Rasta alloy sump guard off - and putting standard bits back on.

I'll then move the aux battery setup, amp/speakers/sub (if possible), side protection bars and roof bar (after I get new Rhino tracks!) over to D4.

Now I have seen carsales, I have a pretty good idea what I should ask for it.

Thanks!

Yep, Carpoint/Carsales.
Sold in one week !!

Thinkbig, in order to overcome your wife's veto powers you could try withholding sex!
On a less relevant matter, I think the selling price on carpoint/ sales is only about $40 - $50 until you sell it (correct me if I'm wrong - I'm married so I'm used to it)

Thanks Didge - I'll take the suggestion on board (don't see how once a year will make a difference though).

I shouldn't complain though - she passed on the second hand D3, but settled for a brand new D4

bwhahahhahaha - you make me laugh! Sounds like my place except for the D3/ 4!! Mine busts my cods everytime I suggest spending money on the old dear. Mind you, I do have some minor leverage now that I'm up for a min $4500 bill for a gearbox for her 2000 model RAV4. Makes getting toys for the Def see rather trivial.
