winter prices

I am interested in this convrsation from the other side: I am trying to sell my 2005 on here, and am singularly failing , probably becauseit is in Scotland, which is obviously further away than Iceland....... But maybe because of some other reason, which is what I am asking. Is it the location? Price?

It has been on PH and autotrader earlier. Which got very limited interest at £9k.
At the moment, I am happy to keep it in the garage till spring but it seems a terrible waste, and I guess it will still lose value sitting there.
What do you think?

My daughters hated the blue iterior too. Me I like it.
OK so nurby is not the best colour, but who cares when you get all that performance?
And 8250 looks cheap to me, especially when compared with the rest of the market.
Where have you seen one with less than 40k on an 05 for that price?
Which is why I asked the question on this thread

Mine was up for £8250 and I sold it for £8k to the first viewer.
I think with your location and the love it or hate it colour interiors along with the crap weather / season for selling an open top I would either keep it till next year or look at pricing it a lot lower to get some interest, I think it's probably overpriced by £1250 if not more to generate some interest.
Hopefully I have no offended you but it's just my opinion.
If you can afford to keep it till next year then I think that would be best - buyers usually buy in crap weather to get themselves a bargain so that when they come to sell it they may even break even if they sell in the summer.
I have been looking at the cheaper end of the scale for a pure track day car and it looks like you could pick one up for £3400 and then sell some bits off it for a good £800 in total.
I think if my Polo track car dies then I will certainly get an S2000 as a replacement track toy.

The awful colour won't help, if you were based in Brighton it'd go in no time

Just went to the dentist and was having a read of November's Car magazine - they have an article on best 2nd hand cars for golf money, and yup, you've guessed it - the S2000 is in there. Their "find" was a 77k miler '99 FSH for just under £5000 trade.
P.S. nice pic going sideways on the photo shoot too - although the cover shot would suggest you could buy a GP white 2009 for £5K

An interesting variety of viewpoints!
If it is £1.5k overpriced, I will definitely keep it, I only want to sell it because it seems a waste to keep it in the garage, and it is in such good order it can only suffer in a winter of driving.
On the other hand , I can just get on with it and enjoy it, after all burning up £8k has got to be fun.

What you would replace it with is likely going to lose similar money so in real terms, you lose nothing by keeping it garaged until next year and starting again. If you don't need to sell at the worst time of year then don't

well ended up buying one today, spent slightly over my budget at £5350 but considering the amount of care this one has had recently at DMS motorsport i thought it was worth stretching the budget a bit.
Its an 03 plate in silverstone silver with black interior.
couple of photos fromt he advert
plan to keep it as is for the time being then add an intake and newer oem wheels next year.
