Default Am I on crack or something?

Been trying to sell my 02 A4 1.8TQ for like a month now and no bites, think the price is too high?
Think I've been adverting it at 15,500 lately, it's an 02, 66k miles, new timing belt et al, new pads and rotors front, silver on black, RNS-D navi, phatbox, revo stage 2 but I haven't advertised that.. W-T-F

Maybe they're easier to sell in the fall when people have snow on their minds?

Wish I could keep it, drove her for the first time in a month or so last night and had forgotten what a great car it is to drive. Just so damn slow..

Default Is the exterior completely stock?

I'd imagine that thing getting snatched up really fast, if it were parked on a busy corner in a yuppity area with a FS sign (Wash Park or Bonnie Brae perhaps).

Default Yeah, 100% and it's a sport package car according to the VIN

Good shape too.
I've not parked it with a sign yet because I can't think of any safe places where it won't get towed!
(bad experience with that once)

it's loaded too, premium package, bose, not sure if there's anything it doesn't have. I figured it would sell in a hurry in the low 16's but I've had but one couple look at it and they didn't buy. Not even any luck on fleabay!

To top it off I'm a salesmen of sorts by profession, guess I'm no damn good at it.

Default maybe it's too cheap

people think there's something wrong with her, or they see "new timing belt" and don't understand that it's a maintenance thing.

I had a WRX I was trying to sell quick, and had a hell of a time selling it despite being 2k less than every other car in the paper, I always wondered if it was because I wasn't asking enough.

Default I have the same problem, can't unload my 01 w/57k mi.

I kept dropping my price and got ZERO calls in 3.5 months. Very frustrating.

Now my dilema is whether to keep it a drive it into the ground or try and sell again...

Default It's hard to sell newer used cars, too many new car deals and...

people need financing so they go to dealerships.
