It may just be down to the time of year, people partying, getting out and enjoying the sun and going on holiday, not much cash left overy to be buying cars.

I think people forget just because a cars up for XXXX amount in autotrader it doesnt mean a car will sell for that, the fact is mate if your car isnt selling, the price is to high simple as that! Another trick maybe to put it back to standard if you have your rims etc, then you make more cash selliing your mods seperate. Dont mean to be an A**E mate, just trying to give you a bit of helpfull advice, if you need to shift your car.

You speak like someone who is trying to buy one, The reason people loose so much money on cars, is because loads of people want a fast sale and therefore drop the price daily to try and attract a buyer.

There will be someone out there willing to pay what you have it up for, you just need to be patient!

Sign up for every forum you can find, and put a link to pistonheads or something there, it takes minutes and it's free advertising.

If it's not already on pistonheads, put it on there. I had my car on pistonheads for a week before changing my mind i had a number of phone calls, emails, etc. Probably the best response i've had for a car i'm trying to sell.

Ebay is another excellent marketting tool.
