Hi,
From your description the car seems reasonably priced, you should have had a nibble by now. I suggest giving some indication of your location and uploading some photos.
Be aware that there aren't many people on this forum in the market to buy a car, so are you advertising anywhere else? I recommend placing an advert on carandclassic.co.uk

Good luck with the sale.

Andrew.

Hi,
As an impartial observer, may I be so bold as to make a suggestion?
You definitely need better photos of the car. They don't show much of the general condition of the car- only it's faults. In addition, they make it look like the car is off the road. They sunny weather we're having at the moment is ideal for showing cars in their best light.

Secondly, the phrase "I need this car gone" does not inspire confidence in the eyes of a potential buyer. They will ask themselves why you're desperate to sell, and will come up with all sorts of answers. You should say something along the lines of "I really would love to keep this car, but my circumstances have changed and now I have, reluctantly, decided to sell".

Basically, in your photos and description, you're listing all the reasons why somebody shouldn't buy your car, not the reasons why they should!

You're looking for a reasonable price in today's market, I wouldn't have thought you'd have any problems selling.

Good luck with the sale.

Andrew.
