Since we sold our car it looks as though the MINI market has softened a bit from my causal observations on carsales. Saying that it's a bit hard to tell as there are dreamers aplenty as usual. Maybe things are generally slowing in the ecconomy... maybe people are waiting to see what the election holds. It might not just be MINI's.
While we sold our MINI privately, in my experience it is always a slow process. It is un-realistic to expect to list it and sell it by the following weekend. I know it does happen, but I'm sure for 95% of people it doesn't work that way. I'd love to know the average time taken, but I would suggest it would be 2+ months.
It took us 4 months to sell ours, and we got 6k more than we were offered as a trade. You just have to wait until someone who wants your car stumbles across it.
I'm not clear, but if you can still get them on the 29K trade, I would advertise it everywhere you can for 31.9 and if you get someone you're all good. If not, trade it, unless you can afford to have two MINI's. I think your pricing at 32.9 is fair if the car is in good nick. You just need time, which apparently you don't have. |
