Default Selling - Not a sniff. Any tips?

Hmm. Please critique my ad. Over 495 Views and not a single enquiry.

Feel free to be brutally honest

Well I would have said price unit il I saw pic 17
Still think that price wise it's at the very top for a private sale. Having said that the car looks great. I steered away from the 06 plates as did not want the extra car tax to pay on what is a weekend car for me. Not sure if that would make any difference on the price though.
Just as a guide I paid £3250 for a 2 owner 40k miles 04 plate in mint condition in January.
Good luck, the car does look good.

That's exactly what I paid for my 04 Roadster, same colour, same amount of owners, with the same mileage just over two years ago, so I would say you are about right.

Many thanks guys, very useful. I changed / added some photos and that helped, or maybe it's the long bank holiday weekend, but I then had loads of enquiries and the first to see then bought it today.

I'll be very sad to see my crossfire go. It's been an awesome car, but I just haven't been able to use it as I need 4 seats now and I would hate to see it go to waste. Much better to let it live

Well, the buyer was a total dreamer and time waster. They loved the car, I could tell, and wanted time to think about it so were going to call me back mid-week. But later the same day they called and said they definitely wanted it. I gave them my word I would keep it, and they did likewise to say the car is bought.

A few days later - after I had cancelled the advert and called all the other interested parties to say it had gone - they left me a voicemail with an excuse and saying they weren't buying it after all.

Trying to stay positive

Lots of those type of people out there i'm afraid, we've all been there, oh well, contact the other interested parties again and tell them what happened, i'm sure you'll have no problem shifting it, perfect time of the year for selling a roadster.
