Hi all. Early days I know but...
Having sold my E46 330d sport in 30mins of posting the ad, I am bit dissappointed I have not had any interest (not one call or email) on my E90 320d. (Ok, the 330d is alot rarer and different car to the 320d).
Please can someone check my ad and let me know if it seems ok?

Maybe the market is just a bit quiet at the moment, not sure. Looking at other 320d on autotrader the price seems right for a 56 plate....

Thanks in advance.

Good advert, although could do to detail the service history

320d's are 10 a penny, that's the only problem.

Nice looking car and a good advert. Because there are so many around people are very choosy - they might pass it by looking for one with a lower mileage, larger wheels or leather etc However the price seems realistic and I'm sure it will sell. Good luck.

Thanks for the replies chaps - perhaps I'm just being a little impatient!

As above really.

320d is such a common fleet car, there really are hundreds on the market.

If its a nice car, and sensibly priced it will sell, but will take a lot longer than a 330d.

A lot of people will search 'up to £10,000'. It might be worth dropping to £9995.

Other than that, as others have said - lots about so people have choice. That colour probably isnt the most popular and people like them with bigger rims. It seems an average car, so i guess other than the above, its just a matter of waiting.

as above + 1

but from a personal point of view I'd skip past it because it has cloth interior, you say grey, but i'd add that its metallic - grey does sound a bit dull as opposed to Space Grey Metallic (or whatever shade it is).
Also badges have been removed - to me that takes me back to the days of 316/318 or its had a bump in the rear - you don't mention being HPI status either which is always something I look for.

Don't mean to sound negative - meant to be constructive - p.s. photos are great!

Good luck with the sale

Thanks for the further input - always appreciated. Have reduced the price to under 10k to capture more interest. Will see what happens!!

I've had my 123d coupe up for sale for the last few weeks, and had not a whisper

It's a good spec (nav, leather, bluetooth, usb, cruise, heated seats, etc) and priced only about 1 to 1.5k over what i've been offered as part-ex, so i had concluded that it is indeed a quiet market. I only used a free ad on this site, and didn't use autotrader but i would have thought i would have had a couple of silly offers or tyre kickers
