Not sure but your 1st pic,altho nice,should be one from the front showing whole car so it's instantly recognizable.

While pistonheads is more specialised you'll still find that the amount of people searching for your exact model is tiny compared to the number doing more general searches for convertible/petrol/low miles for instance.

Yes. (A wide margin between retail and clean trade indicates a difficult car to sell)

CAP August 2014

Retail £8,395

Clean £5,975
Average £5,500

Yes. A difficult car to price it right. Can't give it away but don't want to over price either :mad:

I think its very much a buyers market for larger engined petrol cars, so you will probably get less than you want! But if your advertised price is within 25% of your bottom line I don't think it matters too much as people will make you offers anyway.

Note that your advert banner price is now nearly £1000 more than you are asking in the body of the advert, so worth changing this if you can.

Best of luck.

Thanks Dave.

Whilst the car looks nice. No indication of condition of top. I would expect to see some pics with Top up

You can never have too many photos

I would add:

1 - Bonnet open (show off that lovely V8)
2 - Boot open
3 - Driver's door open showing seating etc

A lovely car but not a good time of year to sell it

Hope you get a sale and importantly a good price for what looks like a special car
