So after almost 6yrs of ownership I decided to sell my M6. I changed jobs and moved house and the car just sits there frown

I bought an old Mondeo a year ago to take stuff to the dump and go to the station in and so the M6 has only done a few hundred miles or so since then, and I really don't want two cars.

The cunning plan is to sell both and get an X5M or the like to fill both duties, so the M6 is up for sale. The only problem is I've only had one person call in the last 4 weeks. It's up for sale here and on AT. It's black and has 86803 miles, can anyone provide some advert feedback and let me know where I'm going wrong? Last Sunday I knocked 500 quid off, but still no joy.

Thanks

Thanks all for the feedback. I had a feeling it was a bit high. I've lowered the price to 16.5k. Let's see what happens...

I'm not fussed about depreciation etc, its more about consolidating to one car that can do dump-runs and carry washing machines etc, but still go quick when needed.

I'm not in a mad rush to sell so will see how it goes for a couple of weeks.

It had been on monthly mondial since 53k (80/mth, 0 excess). Monthly warranties are not transferable and I advised the buyer that what I paid and what he would be offered would likely be different.

Mine is on the annual policy, transferable via a phone call.

Customer #1 came around to view it over the weekend, loved the car. We agreed on a price. He then goes and buys an Evo instead....despite telling me that Evos are 'sh*t and plasticky'. His loss.

Customer #2 turns up yesterday all the way from Birmingham. Loved the car. Offered £14,000. I told him to go home as he was wasting his time. To be honest, I sort of sussed him out over the phone but still made him come up and just wanted to waste his time as I knew his offer was going to be a p*ss take. Felt good that did. Should have seen his face and his mate's face biggrin
Did brummie guy have (or someone in his family have) a 6 series?
