<div>I have sold a few cars over the years but I'm not a
dealer. Have found the best for me was to advertise locally
first. The local Craigslist is a starting point. Let
your local car clubs know that the car is available, and it doesn't
have to be a British only club. The reason I suggest local first is
seems to be easier to work out the details, title transfers,
shipping, and most importantly they can travel to see the
car. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Next set a price and stick to it. Everyone will try to
knock another $500 off the sale price. Do not use the term "asking"
in the advert. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Always request that the potential buyer, who has traveled to
look at the car and is telling you that your price is too high, for
a firm offer for your consideration before he/she walks out of the
garage. Make sure you have their contact info, to get back to
them. Write it down along with their offer price on a piece
of paper in their presence and show it to them to make sure it is
accurate. </div>
<div>I</div>
<div>f that does not work and after you think you have waited long
enough without success (that varies greatly) expand your area.
Don't get to upset when the tire kickers show up or potential byers
cancel their appointment with you. You are presenting your car to a
small group of potential byers compared to many other makes and
models. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>As with many things, the motivation factor, as in lack of
motivation, will show up along this path. We have had the red car
for 57 years and we are not much younger than you. I
sometimes ponder what will become of it when that inevitable time
comes. My wife keeps saying she gets to go first so that she
does not have to clean up the mess.....</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>All the best to you </div>
