..... only really committed sellers who price aggressively stand a chance of selling if their car isn't really special.
(sorry, horrible expression, not mine...), sellers still seem to think that their car is "an investment" so should be worth a lot more now than when they bought it, say 3-10 years ago. Therein lays the problem: the tradtional interpretation of "an investment" is that whatever sum you invest will see an increase in the capital sum or provide a regular income (or both). In the real world, we know that depreciation (yes, even for Morgans) means that hey, you are likely to be out of pocket. And as for the regular income, how about a reality check that says every year you throw money at your car (service/repairs, tyres, MoT, insurance, petrol etc etc...) so what you are doing is paying for the enjoyment of being jolted along those apocryphal country roads, mopping-up the water ingress, and going home to "fettle" (i.e mostly fix) your P&J. It could be worse: maybe you (also) drink, smoke, go on cruises, pay alimony or care home fees, do a lot of expensive DIY, and/or buy precious first editions. Get the picture ? If you want to sell your Mog, take a step back and recognise that your car is only worth what somebody is prepared to pay for it.
