Have I priced my car wrong?
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/188960.htm
Recently put my car for sale and have been getting a lot of calls and emails asking why it is so cheap. I need a quick sale so I can get an elise to enjoy the summer with but I'm thinking perhaps I should have put it up for more.

I don't think it's too cheap. You're not a main dealer / trade after all. As for people calling 
that's a good thing isn't it? Gives you the chance to talk the car through with them. The difference as I see it, is that you probably won't negotiate on the price much whilst other sellers might.

The difference as I see it, is that you probably won't negotiate on the price much whilst other sellers might.Not too cheap IMHO. Sold my Exige S with a very similar spec for £30,000 about a month/6 weeks before you bought this one (not sure what you paid but i suspect less than £29k), since which time trade prices are down £450-500 pm. If anything, you are a bit on the high side for a modified car (which may not be everyone's cup of tea). BTW - nice car though.
If I were looking to but that car I would be asking questions about why you spent so much money on a car you now want to get rid of quickly after only 2 months. i.e did you buy a faulty car and now need to offload it.
Thats my cynical mind working but it might be what others might be thinking?
My 2ps worth for what its worth (1.5p).

I paid £29,800 for it. The last owner spent money on the upgrades and then decided on a honda conversion on his other exige. Now I have changed my mind and want an elise, simple as that.Thats my cynical mind working but it might be what others might be thinking?

I have thought about softtop conversion, but after seeing one in B&C I didn't think it looked that good to be honest. Its also insured as a hard top car, therefore driving it around as a soft top would invalidate the insurance.

Rich,
I can't believe you are selling up already. It sounds a bit cheap to me because I thought I sold it to you pretty cheap considering what I spent on it. You are also including the standard Bilsteins.
You just have to remember that it will only appeal to people who want these extras, like you did, and can see what they would cost if they did it themselves and what their advantages are.
As the previous owner of this car I can vouch for the fact that it left my hands in perfect condition. I thought I sold it cheap but this is an absolute bargain!!!!
