OK gang, it's been a month and I'm ready to deal.
I'll take 9K Firm, bring a trailer or fly in, I'm ready.

OK gang....am I being delusional, or am I asking to much for this car?
I've not had a single question about the car, let alone the asking price.
Can or would, someone look over my ad, and give me an honest opinion about my price,
Thank you in advance.
Terry

 

Is it $9000.00 firm or is it OBO? Nice looking car, by the way.

 

Your price seems actually seems a little low, you just need more exposure ; Drive it with a for sale sign in the window, find car shows to attend . list it on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist and If it's safe park it with a for sale sign in a high traffic area, park it in front of your house or driveway where people can see it, more will give you better chance of selling

 

I always thought "OBO" meant the better of two or more offers above the firm price.

 

She has a sign since last weekend, but then it turned wet....back into the shed she went. Today looks good, also tomorrow.

 

BTW...Thanks for the comments!

 

"Or best offer" I always consider an asking price negotiable and the issue really is "what is it worth to me ?" Living in a "no rust" area of Florida, a clean Florida title (I can check) is worth about $300 by itself. Also am always ready to walk away if there are three things I do not like. Remember, cash talks.

Also the best ads have many pictures, particularly of imperfections or changes. It helps that I have my own web site so can post whatever I want. Selling is an art and often the most creative are rewarded. Why should someone want an 07 in particular ? Yours ? ( has air bag recall been performed ?)

But the really important thing is location, location, location. Personal inspection is always best and all of the cars I have purchased this millennia were within 100 miles (and I have a tow dolly).. The Crossfire I bought this year was six miles from my home. Are you willing to deliver ?

ps looking at the advt first I had to search to find the 50k miles and manual transmission and other than the radio being an Alpine there is no mention of which, why, or do you have the original. At least OK is a no/low rust state.

Just some thoughts but thinking $9k is a premium price, best to justify. First impressions are often the most important.

 

All very valid points, I should have described her better.

Thank you for the clarification...but I had already removed the "OBO" from the listing.

 

Beautiful looking Crossfire and the car shows your pride in ownership. As far as I can tell the seats look fantastic (which isn't always the case), clean engine bay, no body damage and interior looks good, too.
IT's a real shame that these cars don't get the respect they deserve as 9K is almost nothing for a unique, well made, Mercedes sport car with American styling.
I would try and post it on all Crossfire Facebook groups in your area (usually more exposure) as well as Facebook Marketplace. Then I'd also advertise on eBay potentially if Facebook wouldn't work out.
Lastly, have you considered the Bring a Trailer auctions? Looks like your Crossfire would be a good candidate given it's low mileage and for once, on that Auction platform the Crossfires actually sell for a higher premium.
You can check the sold vehicles on there as well to get an idea what your car is worth.
of course all the other tips of putting a for sale sign and potentially finding a local buyer is also great advise. With these cars you have to be patient but the right person will come along. They just aren't waiting in line like for other cars. Learned that when I sold my 2004 Coupe with 124,000 miles last year. Took a good while but eventually I found a buyer who loved the car and was willing to pay $7500.
But in my opinion 9K is a steal and definitely don't go lower. Good luck!

 

Just be sure to know Ebay charges a fee.

 

Ditto Zeracer, I recently sold a guitar on Ebay the fee was $180 I will not list on that site again and they will be starting keep track of taxes for the seller on IRS

 

Since a clean Florida title has a lot of value (like $300 and no hassle by the DMV) to a Floridian, I generally advertise only locally mainly with CL.
OTOH when looking I tend to look everywhere, found last on on Facebook and was six miles from my house.
ps if from a dealer, ask for their Florida business license number, I prefer to deal with individuals.

 

Terry,
I have sold many cars and motorcycles using Craigslist with NO FEES
Post yours on Criagslist using your location (Town and State)

Thanks Gary....just got thru putting her up on Craigslist.
FYI- Craigslist now charges for listing.....$5.00, oh well.

 

$5 for car on CL here as well but "in the noise".

 

Hmmm...I wasn't aware of that but hopefully that 5 bucks will find you a serious buyer...good luck and be sure to let us know
Ya might want to provide the link here anyway - I just did a search in Yukon, Oklahoma and didn't see your add
