We've had our Clio up for sale for a little while now and had very little response. First time round in the Autotrader (just before Xmas), I had a few calls with cheeky offers etc, but that was about it. I put it down to the wrong time of year, what a stupid time to sell a car, 2 weeks before Xmas? (dumbass > me).
I re-ran the advert recently, infact its now on its 2nd week of 3 and I haven't even had one call. Nothing, nill, zip. Consequently, I've looked around and am still convinced that the car is about the right money. There are lots of lower spec'd Clio's than ours for about the same price, ours falls in the right place, of that I'm sure. But not even one call, even with a silly offer. It's a nice ad, the car is well-specced, with lots of boxes ticked (more than most), you'd think someone would want it?
I spent some time thinking about it last night and can only put it down to the Telesafe numbers I opted for this time. OK, so if you look at it, it is clear that they don't cost any more to call, but are people just too nervous to call them? It's the only thing I can think of? Particularly Norfolk people that are sceptical at the best of times!!
I have the option to revert to normal numbers, which I know opens the floodgates for canvassing calls, but I think I have to take that or not get any calls atall!!
What do you think? Do you genuinely think that Telesafe puts people off calling? I know if you really want a car, you'll take the time/trouble to look into it, but with so many Clio's for sale, it only takes one little off-putting thing and the person will move onto the next one.
