Hi

A friend of mine has been trying to sell her 330 Ci Sport but is having absolutely no luck generating interest! We don't think its overpriced at £19.5k (now) for the condition and options (xenon, HK Stereo) but not a sausage.

Its in Top Marques again next week but I'd appreciate any suggestions on where else to place it.


PH Advert here


Thanks

The price is too high for a 39000 miler and private sale.
There is one from a main agent at £19850 with 38000 miles. Guess the price needs to come down by £1500 to £2000

I don't know if this is on your advert but perhaps try putting 'ono' next to the price. There is also nothing that turns me off more that when a car advert says 'no offers'.

Thanks for the feedback.

Didn't put "ono" cus I guessed it is kind of assumed nowdays! The price we arrived at from looking at other ads and using that Parkers guide thing. Also took into account the horiffic financial kick in the nuts over the 12 months its been owned. Having said that if I found a car like this at 2 grand less I'd think all my birthdays had come at once!

Oh well, keep trying . . .

It is a touch pricey, there is a 2001/Y 330 convertable with the same mileage in the autotrader for £19500 this week.

Based on that I would probably go for £18995, if the car is a nice one. Half the battle is getting someone around who appriciates the condition and it will sell.

like most things in life - if its too much it wont sell.

Harsh but true,

..... but my x has this and that and is much better then y's and so I must get more.
