Are used cars selling?

[Michaelbailey]

I Know this is a very broad statement but on the whole ive found the used car (especially the cars say around 20+ years) extremely stale. Are people just asking too much money for old cars? Ive been trying to sell my corrado for a very lengthy amount of time and having priced it inline with the others I had no bites. Having reduced it considerably still no real buyers. Looking at other cars I just don't see them actually selling. Constantly on autotrader, being relisted on ebay etc etc.

i think there are a vast amount of optimistic pricing going on in the "future classic" market.

I thought it was maybe just here in NI but when i look at the classic car websites for cars here the cars seem to sit forever and very few actually sell.

The likes of this bemuses me. Nice enough car, but its been to the moon and back yet he still thinks its a £5995 car. Its easily been for sale for six months+ maybe a year

I saw this and thought I hope this isn't my car in the link! (My car is on the website at £5995)

I think people are like trying the old "appreciating classics" or "future classic" and im not buying it. But even myself selling my car (don't want to break any rules here by advertising) was up initially for 6.5k and im now down to the point where I will accept 3 but they buyers just aren't there, genuine ones that is.

I wish everyone bought cars like I do

Is it the Storm spec car?

Don't take this the wrong way but it's a bit rambling.
Far better in bullet points with the mileage, spec, leather heater seats, air con etc,, mentioned first and also the 12 month MOT
IT's hard to see the points buyers are looking for in with all the other information.

Looks a nice car.

It is and constructive feedback is more than welcome.

I need to adjust it anyway to reflect the fact im willing to take basically no money for it so I will probably address the rambling. and it is a spectacular car, makes it all the harder to part with it for no money

My car sold guys. It needed to go and I ended up accepting a pittance at £2,800. Oh well you win and you lose!
