Not getting any interest in mine. :'( Am I doing something wrong?

https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...uick-sale.html

Green Classic 98

Scoobynet can work, but so can autotrader etc (1000s of scoobys for sale at any one time). They have a saying in the trade - the first offers the best offer (so best take it even if its a bit less than you hoped for).

Remember most folk are trying to get a bargan, lots of folk end up trading in or e-bay or car auctions...

Easter is a good time to sell a car, if you do pay to advertise suggest you do it over the easter w/e.

Green Classic 98

Looks like a nice car, two owners is a big plus point. You could get dent master or similar to knock that dent out for I guess around £100 (paint work untouched, you might be amazed at how good the result is) that might increase the number of folk interested in it?

I bought mine on here .....best buy ever !

I bought mine from here, even although I had to do a 500 mile round trip to get it. If you're lucky and get a genuine enthusiast and your car appeals to them, then it will sell. Now is definitely not a good time to be selling cars like this though...

Got mine over on the sidc 4 years ago but sold it yesterday and i only put it up friday (sold on the autotrader) and i had loads of interest and the first veiwer drove her off

it was a my98 uk turbo standard and i got £4500 for her

I may be wrong, but with the classic being a ' first time buyers Impreza' alot of buyers would probably look on Autotrader or similar as they may not have been intoduced to SN. Newage cars would probably sell better on hear

TBH if I were looking at your advert objectively I would say the pics are a bit poor and don't really SELL the car. The description is messy and a little cringe worthy in places. The car looks good and is a credit to you, but you need to work on the advert

I've bought 2 from here over the past few years ...just looking to get my next one soon I know BMW's don't sell well on here

Have you considered cars arent selling very well currently anyway? and imprezas are selling particularly poorly at the moment?
Ive seen plenty for sale and some including yours look very nice, but they just arent selling as no one has a great deal of cash spare at the moment to invest in an "expensive" car ie not cheap to run and maintain.
Only ones i have seen sell tend to be sold at silly prices, so i personally would say unless you are willing to let it go very cheap you may be stuck with it for quite a while.

Thanks for all your help guys. Will look at changing the copy in the ad. I thought the pics were quite good though - what would you suggest to improve them?

Interior pics.
Better Location - as a minimum without other cars in the frame.
They look dated, like when you bought the car rather than the car in the condition your selling.

You need an interior pic but for now I would just use these photos until you get some less dated looking ones.

Just my opinion having been looking at a number of cars for sale recently

i got mine from autotrader about 4 weeks ago but also had it up for sale on another scooby site , wanted 5500 for a my00 dbm classic with nearly full history , and 75 on the clock

but the silly guy made a mistake by saying he needed a quick sale as his other half was about to drop (which at first thought he was just trying it on , untill i saw her )

ending up paying 4200 for it he came down 1300 quid

as said before , change your ad and stick with it , it looks nice and well looked after so should get what you want , in another month or so when the shows start prices will be back up i would say

and i would say remove the "quick sale needed"
or someone else like me would get a bargain

Ouch, I bet he won't be having kids after that kick in the gonads

I reckon the pictures on your ad could do with been at better angles and not took to low form the ground, nor have the sun catching them. Have a look at how other people have done theres...

Thing is, would you get a green grocer buying an apple from joe public ?

see where im coming from

Suby Claire

Surprised about comment saying photos seemed to show car as it was when I bought it not now. Took them 2 weeks ago - isn't it a good thing that it still looks new? Thought the angles were quite nice and arty (and I'm a designer). I'm going to give up my day job now

scobymad

sorry i agree with the photos but maybe its just location you need

i addvitised here scoobycity autotrader and pistonheads

Milamber

iTrader: (2)

I'd have to agree that the photo's could be a bit better, try to get some arty ones taken, they helped with my sale....

For instance...

I think I see what you mean. I've put a new frame on a pic. Do you think it works?

incidentally I bought my car from Pistonheads before I discoverd ScoobyNet, so maybe PH would be a good place to advertise also?
