Not having much luck selling my LP560
Discussion
Could be priced too high.
For someone to buy privately it needs to be priced accordingly (otherwise may as well buy one from a dealer if priced similarly).
When I sold my Gallardo privately I put it on for a few K over what I wanted, ready for a haggle, and had no bites. I then re-advertised it for the exact money I wanted (which made the car appear good value) and got the full asking the next day.
No harm seeing what dealers think they will return SOR, and if happy with that then give it a try. If its low then no harm adjusting your private sale expectations. Even though these are expensive cars they are very price sensitive - Even when spending £100-150k it seems people are willing to ignore a car over a few K.

Early 599's around 125-130K are looking good value at the moment.
I was looking at 599's and not so early ones could be had for £115k after haggling, just could not take the depreciation that will no doubt happen on these in the next 12-18 months. I suspect these end of next year could be had for sub £100k.polar8 said:
You can have an 08 or perhaps an 09 DBS manual 2+0 (the best) for close to 90k after haggling. Whip out Fuse 22 and you have absolute heaven. Looks beautiful, sounds amazing, and good to drive. And, you'll not lose too much at those levels...
no, no, no...Going from a 560 to a DBS is akin to making love, everyday, to Mariah Carey then dumping her Sandi Toksvig just because you "fancy a change"...
Bentley GTC whilst attractive, will drop in depreciation faster than a Greek Government Bond. Go for RR Ghost or 458...

Each to their own, but I didnt like the way the DBS drove. Felt, well, old, which it is really.UH-Matt said:

Didn't you bid on a few before your 430 and get nowhere? had for sub £100k.

And, Sandi would be far more interesting to live with.........

But that is like comparing wine and water.DBS may be a nice car to look at, and sit in, but its certainly no 599!

The DBS is nowhere near the 560 unless you're ready for pipe and slippers... Way too lardy, lazy ford engine, just paying for the badgeGoing from a 560 to a DBS is akin to making love, everyday, to Mariah Carey then dumping her Sandi Toksvig just because you "fancy a change"...
