Sales Advice Needed

[Josswallace]

I have an RX400h with 101k miles on the clock, good nick and well looked after with nearly full service history, and unfortunately we need to downsize and get rid of one of the two cars that we have. Neither one suits us both, my wiifes car is a GOLF.

I have a new set of tyres on the standard wheels with nearly new Goodyear and Michelin tyres (235/55 18/100 V), and a full set of winter wheels with (225/60 R17) tyres with a few thousand miles on them.

Would it be best to try and sell the wheels and Michelin/Goodyear tyres and put the winter wheels on the car to sell it, or the other way round.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Best to sell the winter wheels/tyres separately although it isn’t the best time of year to be doing so.

Hi Ian, if I were you I'd be looking to sell the car with the 18" set fitted - more appropriate than the smaller wheels in my book - and offer the 17" winter set as an optional extra.  Then, as Colin suggests, it's not the best time of year to sell a winter set of tyres anyway so if they're not wanted you can keep them and hopefully get a decent/better price in the Autumn.

Good Luck.

I’d sell the car with the stock wheels. Anything else would require (in theory) a modification to be disclosed to insurers, and premium possibly going up - so putting people off. 

I had a set of OEM winter wheels & tyres for my previous Volvo - they sold for peanuts after several months. Thankfully I’d originally got a bargain from a dealership for them (basically the price of tyres) so didn’t feel too hard done by!

How much are you asking? They hold their value well for near 20 yr old vehicle.
