Its not the car its the fact that everyone wants the newest plate to keep up with the jones's i had an escort cabriolet for sale you would think summer would be the time to sell
In auto trader for two weeks not a single call !!!

Sold it eventually but only ever got one call luckily they wanted it

not 100% clued up on inport prices, but is it maybe a bit dear?

lovely looking car, i'm sure it's got a potential owner out there somewhere.

is it advertised elsewhere? not being ****ty towards scoobynetters, but not many cars seem to get sold on here for decent money

In our little capitalist world there is a thing called supply and demand, if supply is greater than demand you're stuck. You may have to increase the demand aspect by reducing the price of your car

I'd tend to agree with Hoskib on both counts, SN isn't the ideal place to sell Scoobs (As 90% of people on here already have one ), when I sold my Scoob I found that ALL my enquiries came from the auto trader website (about £15 or something for 2/3 weeks) and none came from the HUGE adverts I'd paid a mint for in the AutoTrader magazine.

Plus the price mayb is a tad hi (You can get V5 STi Type R's for less), although I do notice that it is very low mileage.

Car looks nice btw, good luck

Seems to me quite a bit over on the price. You can easily get good typeRs for that money. Best off flogging the extras and dropping the price by 2k

Price is too high

People may tell you they're worth that much, but if they don't sell it's telling you something. As yours is a v nice one, I think that's the biggest problem. Try autotrader/top marques etc.

Or ebay, you never knoww your luck. I'd personally rather have yours, than an 01wrx for the same money.

Good luck

Did you have to hand over much cash as well? don't mean to pry but I have an MY00 and would prefer an STI V5 or 6.
