True Classic
I am not an expert but I have sold a few of these. I think that you can find a buyer but realistically you need to do a good clean up. Remove the speakers from the floor because they impede most people from wanting to get in and out. Do good photos and post them on Craigslist or eBay. This is the way to get the most traffic to the car.
I had more than 10grand in my Yellow car and got 3700 for it with 51000 origininal miles in January of 2007. Maybe in the springtime it might have gotten more. ( remember with colors like Red, Black, and just more desirable colors from most buyers the whites, yellows and browns will always drag a little behind unless you get lucky with the right guy at the right timing. Black or Red are the best in My experience.
Presentation. = Dont give any buyer a reason not to like the car. Make it look as stock as possible unless you have performance upgrades. If the car has a scratch or a dent dont let a 100 dollar or 200 dollar fix keep you from getting 2000 more for the car. Take good pics and give a good description. (dont give the crappy 5 year old cell phone camera to a 6 year old and expect good results)
Do a good write up with not just facts but also a story about your experience. ( facts tell stories sell)
Price. Ask as much as you want but if you are going to ask retail make sure you have your email, cell phone etc available so that the buyer that is good to go can enjoy buying right away. ( dont let your phone go to voice mail and start acting like a salesman not a Mouse)
It always makes me laugh when I see for sale items and the seller says ( no flakes no low ballers must sell now) yet doesnt have a phone number or an email. It screams that I dont know what I am doing...
Lastly if you get frustrated Time to hire a guy like me..
My critique on your car and ad. You have a rear valence with a big crease in it. Doesnt make sense since you just got it back from the body shop. There is dust on the dash, Your photos could use some work( show under the car from the front and under the engine lid and frunk, more pics the better. And use a pay service like photo bucket to host your pics so pics of girls dont show up and distract your buyer. Also put your phone number on your ad. I have owned hundreds of cars and only sold one via Email...One. and that includes ebay sales. I have always had the buyer call me.
