I really couldn't go below £4500 - and I think looking around that would make the car a very good buy.

Thats their loss! just lost mine in floods and heartbroken!!

Would be interested but mine had lower mileage so would like to better.

Anyone? We need to see this gone - new car is coming, space is at a premium around here when it comes to parking and I don't want my 9000 Aero on the road.......

Some impartial advice:

If you have been trying to sell it for 5 months with no luck, the price is clearly wrong.

Its a lovely looking car, but the market has decided it isnt worth even the £4k you are asking.

Without wishing to **** you off or 'push prices down' I think you need to be in the low £3xxx to have any interest. There are plenty of similar cars from dealers on eBay for around the £32-3300 mark.

(As a comparison I bought a 54 plate V70 D5 facelift for £2300 - now its got more miles than yours and is decidedly leggier in all areas, but if I was in the market I certainly couldnt justify the extra you are wanting.....)

An honest good luck with the sale and I hope you can accept this advice with the good intentions that it is offered.

Many thanks for the advice and I genuinely mean that.

It has to be said that this is a pretty depressing state of affairs selling cars. It seems that whatever you ask for a car, people want pretty much half that.
