Best places to list a car for sale?

[Bens4vcobra]

Ok guys, I've just about had it with this market. I've had my 07 for sale for 3 months now and nothing. No bites, no tirekickers, no nothing. I've gotten a whopping total of 3 legitimate emails on the thing and I've listed it everywhere I can think of. Including but not limited to the following:

craigslist (in multiple areas, not just my city)
local paper (even a few surrounding papers in nearby cities)
ebay
autotrader
cars.com
every major mustang/ford forum site you can think of

I have even done searches on "list your car for sale" in google and put it up on countless other "free" listing sites. I'm all out of ideas. My price is fair, the car is top notch, my photos are good. What am I doing wrong? I know everyone says the market sucks right now but damn... I am just at a loss for words as to the fact that I've not even gotten one single solid offer on this car in 3 months. Anyone have any other ideas on where/how to list a car for sale to get it sold????

sound like me.. market has ALOT to do with it..dealers are takin hits big-time on SUV an truck sales..same could be said for g/g cars..If you've exhausted every other options, you might try parking it in a lot or your yard with a sign on it :shrug: most kids got out of highschool or will be and you never know some person might pick it up for a graduation present.

I've been trying to sell my Terminator for 6 months. same probs. sucky market, but a good time of year for sportscar sales.. I've attempted to keep it out of classifieds to rid myself of tire kickers/joyriders, but I might be hurting more than helping since ya can't sell, what ya can't see. or is readily avalible.

I hope its the market. I'd be happy to get a tirekicker or joyrider. It would make me feel wanted. My mechanic buddy is a BMW tech at a dealership and he told me they are very slow right now. i guess everyone is hanging on to their money. If BMW owners are hanging on to their money then i'm scared...

Are you listing in different areas on craigslist? My car went in a week on there.

I advertised my 88 on corral, and it sold pretty quick. Then again it doesnt' cost as much as an 07.

I think the fact that it's an 07 is definitely part of the problem. I can't post pics on corral (not enough posts).

i was thinking about selling my 07....maybe not

just curious...how much you asking?

 

[SNCBOOM]

What's your asking price?
Do you have pictures?

Those are things that influence my decision usually. Someone looking for an '07 Mustang GT is probably not going to be an enthusiast IMO. I'd rather spend a few extra grand to get a term or lightning.

 

[TERMIN8TR]

unfortunately those mustangs are now a dime a dozen. i just traded mine in on a fusion

 

[GreenSnake]

I had no interest in my car except for trades for big trucks and sport bikes. 72k miles and I started it at $9k

The S197 chassis is nice and stiff and better suited for road course or autox than a SN95. However someone looking to do that type of racing is likely to look past a super clean/immaculate car since it will get tore up quick with that kind of racing abuse.

If it was a V6 in question then i would see being able to call it as being not for the enthusiast. I know lots of local stang guys who got 05+ GT's and are fully satisfied with them (however all would love a 450hp Cobra as well).

 

[SNCBOOM]

I stand corrected. I really had no idea as I'm not an OT'er

unfortunatly you have thousands of other ads to compete with. The s197 isn't the best looking car in the world either, i believe that's 65% of the problem

 

[SVTcobra2]

i had a thought. maybe now that the market sucks, maybe a car that stands out would sell better. not turbo or s/c, but things such as wheels and that may make the car stand out from the rest and help it sell?

 

[SNCBOOM]

WTF are you talking about? That doesn't even make a car more valuable when gas isn't expensive.

 

[SVTcobra2]

im not saying more valuable. im saying if there is a bunch of mustangs on the market and they all look the same. maybe someone who actually willing to buy a mustang these days would rather have one with a few cosmetics for about the same price.

sorry its late and i need to go to sleep:shrug:

 

[Fox-4]

have you thought about taking it to carmax?

 

[canibus]

what about a consignment with a dealer?

I tried to sell my 5.0 a couple of months back and no one was interested. I may try again since I was a little high on it. The biggest reason you can't get rid of these cars is fact they like gas. The only reason I was selling mine was it's not driven at all. I put 1,000 miles on it in 6 months. It took me 4 months to drive the Lightning 100 miles. Anyway, good luck selling it.
