wouldnt say it was overpriced, just seems the credit crunch is stopping people splashing out at the minute, imo nothing is selling!

Definitely worth the money imo

Take a PX on the 16i and im there! Looks a cracker and well worth the money. It will sell just be patient.

Dont cave in and do what everyone else seems to do on here and break it!

just hold out if you can afford to, you will get the right buyer eventually it just takes time.

Breaking your car takes agessssssssssss to get your money back unless you let everything go for nothing, it took us 5mths to get rid of Cossie totally and still got a few bits off the Evo which we bought last december!

DONT DO IT

In my opinion it's really not the right time to be buying property at the moment so hold out for the right buyer and see how the market looks then, it's going to take a good 18 months to recover at this rate

Absolutely right, it is not the sort of car that will sell overnight, the right buyer will be out there however

Things like Cossies are not selling right now due to the credit crunch and huge increases in energy prices etc.

People are too scared to splash any savings as they might need it for essentials!

Blame the yanks mate!

In that case if you're desperate prepare to take a hit on the car, it may be worth it.

Good luck to you whatever happens

12k is slight strong IMO; if the mileage was lower then maybe.

as above really; someone will buy it for the money you want but you have to be patient. Cossies arnt selling at the mo, i've just sold mine, it gets picked up on saturday, but in the current financial climate nobody is buying - i sold my saff for alot less than what it was worth

the "toys" are having to wait as people are saving

ps. dont break it either, all the nice/ go faster bits will sell first and you'll be left with the other bits for months, and you never make as much as you think

Very nice car mate, but it all comes down to how much you actually want to sell it. In April this year I paid £5700 for a Triumph Daytona 675, didn't like it so sold it three months later for £4400. I was still happy as it had gone.

I have no idea about the price of a 3 door, but if you want it gone then perhaps a price drop is in order.

It's worth the money to the right person, but if you want the cash sooner rather than later then dropping the price is the best option.
