[6pack] selling a TR6

[Robert McBride]

Mine is a completely stock  same year, color, but with overdrive, radio and 
no luggage rack, with under 30,000 miles..  And I don't think I could get 
$17,250 for it right now..  So yes with all the work that has been done on 
yours which I consider a bad thing and the high mileage I think right now 
you are way out of the ballpark as you have found out with the eBay auction 
max bid......So if you can keep it and enjoy it till things turn around...if 
you can wait that long.....Remember there are a lot of newer better designed 
sport cars out there now for people to consider buying...Bob M

Listers:

I have been trying to sell my Tahiti blue car for a few months now.? I'm 
sure that some of you have seen it in Ebay (twice) or in Hemmings (on-line 
version, 1 month).? I have had much interest but have not actually managed 
to sell the car.? I can think of many possible reasons:

1.? I set the price too high
2.? Others don't like the modifications or some other aspect of the car
3.? The market is soft right now
4.? All of the above

The reason for this post is to get advice on what is the best method to 
actually sell the car.? Where would you guys suggest listing it?? Is the car 
grossly overpriced?? The expired Ebay link is below.? I set the reserve at 
$17,250.? I have about $30,000 in the car, not that that is relevant to 
anything at all.

Thanks as always.? I'm tempted to?just keep?the car for a couple of?years 
until the market firms back up.
