    Default Problems selling my car, need help?

    ok beyonders, heres the problem.
    ive had my car for sale several times.
    ive posted on buysell.com,beyond.ca, and many other sites.
    ive gotten calls but no one has ever came to check it out.
    i really believe the price is more than fair. ive posted pics and listed everything on the car.
    any suggestions as to where to post, what to post and such would be great. thank you.

    Link to beyond.ca thread?

    There are only a few reason why a car won't sell:

    Price is too high (common)
    Car is badly modded
    No demand
    Seasonal car

    Pay to advertise. Autotrader.ca is your best friend. Hate to break something to you but not all the people in the world know or have heard of beyond.ca and buysell.com lol.

    X2 for autotrader.

    My last car was purchased, and resold on autotrader. It was actually sold to the first person who came and looked, which meant the pricing was good (maybe even low).

    But there are 2 main benefits to the autotrader over virtually any other publication:
    1) - price comparison! You can EASILY search for similar vehicles online, and gauge your pricing to match what the market is going for. Since my last car had 300,000kms+, I priced it about 1K lower than what most of the other cars were advertised for, and it got noticed.
    2) - target audience! Places like Beyond don't JUST bring in car buyers. Sure, tons of traffic, but how much of that is potential buyers? People don't pick up the autotrader unless they're thinking about buying.

    Spend the $60 or whatever, make sure that your pricing is accurate (not what YOU think the car's worth, make sure it matches what the rest of the world thinks it's worth), and I'm sure you'll have no troubles.

    Don't be the typical beyond douchebag and not actually answer any questions about your car or reply with vague generalities that don't mean anything.

    My last car sold on Facebook of all places.

    Usedcalgary.com and Craiglist are full of scammers and lowballers.

    Kilometers are too high for the year, aim for around 8500-9000 or so

    KM seem a little high for a 2001, was it mostly highway driven? Other than that looks OK, what was your original price, maybe it was just a bit high

    Edit: Im too slow hahah

    I find that no matter where you advertise, if you lower the price enough it will sell.

    I echo Weapon_R - I'd say $9k obo for the car considering it's condition. The stereo most likely isn't adding to the value of your car so if you parted it out, you could make some money back there.

    160,000 kms is not that high. Remember guys this car was probably bought in late 2000 thats 7 years @ 20-25k kms /year is just about there.

    8,500-9,000 sounds about right.
    Autotrader.ca is very high priced but sometimes works.

    Try adding the price to the ad, plus the fact that you would consider a trade for a S13. Post a lot of pictures-no one wants to wait on pics to be e-mailed. Show the good and bad.
