lorry just wont sell, HELP!!!!!

[Posie]

Agree with the others, but I also think you've priced it too high. We've just sold a 13.5t 96 reg lorry for 6.5k so would imagine a 7.5 would go for less?

Thankyou x

I would want to know the payload, as when that isn't listed it always makes me think that the lorry is heavy/has a small payload.

 

[Happytohack]

Much better :0 ) Hope you sell it - it looks a really nice lorry for the money.

Thankyou, will check what the pay load is and update, thanks for all the help, very much appriciated x

Having recently sold a 7.5 tonner myself, I'm afraid in my opinion it's way overpriced. Ours was a similar age, 3 horse herringbone, better paint job & smarter living, 8 months plate etc FSH from new. 2.3 ton payload, Sold it for £4.5k......
However, we did have to endure loads of people wanting top of the range Oakley style for a tiny fraction of the price! One lady wanted cherrywood lined living, built in entertainment centre and chrome radiators, lol.

ok thanks ill bear that in mind, just a bit worried about finding another is as good condition, there's allot of ruish out there. :-/

I would also add more pictures but I'm afraid I agree with those who have said its a bit over priced I have been keeping an eye on listings for lorries as may need to buy another in next year or so and in afraid very few pre 2000 lorries UNLESS very very smart/branded names are selling for over £5k. Yours is pretty much what I would/will be looking for but I wouldn't even look at anything over £6k as there is so much out there for less than that. Depending how quickly you need it gone....

Hiya, I just sold our lorry, ended up taking aa lot less just to get rid as we already had the new one. I had to reduce the price quite a lot to get any interest but also got the new one at a very good price so what goes around ....

Have a look on this guys website. He's a box dealer, he might offer you less than market value but at least you can either part ex it for another, or get the money?

[ticobay831]

ok so what would be a realistic price, bearing in mind we need to replace

 

[Tinsel Trouble]

Why don't you part exchange it for another lorry?

Sorry if this has been mentioned- only got to page 1...

 

[ecrozier]

Personally based on what I have seen advertised recently, unless it's got amazingly smart living I think you are unlikely to see over £5000 for it. I would advertise for £4995 personally and take an offer if you need it gone.
What makes it too small for your horse? Headroom? Just wondering if you might be better to look at adapting it somehow?

 

[Frumpoon]

It could be that it says it will only take a 16hh?

My boys are both 17hh plus and if I was going to get a 7.5 tonner it would need to have 7ft 6 headroom.

The influence of the continental breeds means that loads of people have big[ger] horses now than 10-15 years ago...

 

[Marydoll]

The lorry looks well maintained but it looks an older model and tbh in my eyes at the price you have it in for i wouldnt give it a look sorry

 

[Sophstar]

I feel your pain...I can't sell my little 3.5 ton!

 

[ticobay831]

i thought id removed the 16hh bit :-/
would be happy to part ex and yes thought about extending into living but wanted to try and sell before doing this because it is a nice lorry and it would be a shame to start knocking it about, but may have to be an option now if we dont have any interest :-(
