That does seem like a lot of car for the money, and well looked after.  Nothing like a little extra advertising.

It's a dog.  :whistle:

In all fairness, in the flesh - great car (if I could afford it, I would)...

Enlighten me pasm (something to do with stability control, no idea about SC), before I do a google.

It is but no interest as probably overpriced, just seems wrong to start dropping the price, maybe I could keep it as a Feb 29th car. Just done insurance under £300, nice.

Trouble is there are 2000MY for sale at the same price, but yours looks miles better, and better value for money. I hate giving cars away for nothing, in which case you often find you are forced into.
Hang on to her, you will regret selling her for peanuts.

I hear you, that's exactly the issue, I did look at some of the newer ones and still felt my price was justifiable to the right buyer, obviously limits my market. The good news though is that my replacement doesn't arrive till end of May so I do have a good amount of time till I panic

Pricing looked after cars is always tricky.  Buyers tend to pass them by due to the price but compared to others out there but given the way costs for even relatively minor issues can add up, good examples deserve a premium.  I'm pretty sure I let my 996 go too cheaply given the rubbish out there but if I'd priced it any higher I'd have got no interest.  I only dropped a couple of hundred pounds from the asking price though.  I'd say be patient if you can.
