Hi chaps having bought a new motor last june im struggling to sell my old one,

Now I wouldnt mind so much but the one Im selling is very tasty and priced what I think reasonably.

Ive had nothing but tyre kickers and test drivers offering 4K less than what its advertised at.

Obviously just sitting there its losing money every day so can anyone recommend somewhere other than taxi mart cause thats where its advertised.

the taxi is here: http://www.taxi-mart.co.uk/More.aspx?id=2174

Any help much appreciated :cry: :cry: :cry:

To answer your question,

I originally purchased the voyager cause I was mainly on a radio circuit with lots of drunks and pi=s heads so felt that this was the vehicle for me,

Within 6 months I had built up a good client base of my own doing transfers but nearly all my customers kept moaning about being in a disabled taxi as they quoted.

As me and my partner where trying to get away from rank work we had no option to buy something more suitable if our business was to move in the right direction.

As for part exing no firm was willing to take it in due to the finance on the vehicle at the time, so its been sitting there for the last 8 months losing money. eusasmiles.zip eusasmiles.zip eusasmiles.zip

Well get a driver in it, or drivers, rent it out ffs don't loose shekels by having it sat doing nowt, there must be someone who wants to earn a crust, about £100 per week would do for a start, and let them pay for insurance and maintenance. or go 50 50 or come up with your own deal
