Default Why do these cars not sell?

Its been over 3 weeks since I advertised my 2004 WRX, and I'm yet to receive a phone call from anyone other than companies trying it on! Why is this, is there something wrong with a standard WRX for under £9k? Parkers has a good example at £9.5k...

Cheers.

Well its a WRX not an STI so not the "full beans" version (although a prefectly acceptable car)

Its just been clobbered with double taxation.

Its thirsty in a climate of stupid petrol prices

Its not a mortgage which is what most people are currently spending on

Its not a Classic Type R in Sonic Blue with WRC Blue alcantara seats - So I won't be buying

Good luck though.

We were offered a 03 WRX with 59k for £6.5k about a week ago!

just keep advertising it , will go in the end , took me nearly a year to sell my Gsxr 750 and it was in mint condition, with only 1000 miles from new at a bargain price too

the First buyer to view bought it on the spot with no haggling at full asking price, so if you price it right and is a good example its will sell.

As has been said its not an ideal economic climate for these cars right now plus with the new hatchback models on the scene I expect the old models to plummet still further.
