Looks well but remember your postcode is always visible when you post a link to Autotrader.

Your car does indeed look lovely.

However, I think part of the issue is with your pricing. A bit high perhaps? Especially compared with (admittedly lower spec) other vehicles of similar age and newer. When it comes to spending £14k a lot of people would also prefer the 'security' of a garage rather than a private person sale, where they can also obtain a warranty and finance. Also perhaps the tax rate is a bit off putting, although not a lot can be done about that sadly.

Regards

The car is mint. Thanks for that

As for the price I understand this. I've tried to gauge it off similar spec'd cars. There are not many executives for sale nor are they decent mileage or condition.

What would you say is a reasonable price? I'm open to offers but I also won't let it go for a silly price as I may as well just keep it.

I was also thinking of throwing a warranty direct warranty in there if a certain price was attained. At the end of the day most garages don't even have decent warranties

I've just priced a warranty up an it's only 636 so I could always offer that if a certain price was attained

Hi,

A truly lovely car and should sell at somewhere near your asking price. I agree with the comment made that at £14k most buyers are looking for finance so that may be holding it back a bit?

The offer of a warranty may help, it's certainly a good selling point. Just one comment for what it's worth, but someone may pull you up on it........

You say it is fitted with every conceivable extra....I don't see a sunroof!!

If I had the money available I'd be giving it a look-over though.

Good luck

Paul

Thanks for the feedback. I may put on the advert about the warranty then. It would be better than most garages as they are usually the cheapest available.

Yes I take your point about the sunroof haha. I think you kind of get what I mean by the amount of extras it has though. Took me ages to find it an I travelled a fair distance for it as well
