What are others similar up for ?
Put it up at £4k and move your target demographic :grin:
From what I've seen I thought it would fly off the shelf at £3700. Next Hawkeye wagon on eBay is £6k, it's also priced lower than some Blobeyes & bugeyes. Of course though this is due to the mileage.
Having so many offers all around the £3k mark seems like it's telling me something though. One guy just came to view and offered £3k as well.
If you've had 7 offers, £3100 being the highest, why makes you think you'll get £3500? (I don't mean to sound rude.)
I can't remember the last car I had that didn't sell to the first person to see it. How do you value your time?
For the sake of £400 I'd have let it go personally.
We're only a few weeks away from March, the month when used cars take their biggest hit value wise.

Thanks @Daniel I'm looking for honesty so I'm glad you posted. That's what I was thinking having so many offers at £3k has made me think is my price to high.
@Knuckles i wasn't to begin with but my boiler has broken and I need £1700 for a new one so kind of yeah but I'm not letting it go for silly money.
End later today so I'll see how it goes.

I've knocked 1250 off a car before, that's my best so far. If it's genuinely worth it's price then I probably wouldn't negotiate but sometimes people are dreaming.
I think it's always really a buyers market because people are usually selling for a reason so they'll accept maybe that 500 less.
When I was selling I never budged on price really, just priced it right.

I advertise cars for a price and sell them for that price. I despise haggling, I find it degrading. Weather I'm buying or selling, I hate it.
Similarly, when I'm buying a car, I'll view it then offer a firm 'take it or leave it' price. No haggling, no hard feelings.
I've knocked 75% off of the advertised price before now. But then I know what I'm doing and can smell a problem car a mile off! In fact My last Clio was advertised at £1750 no offers and I drove off innit having parted with just £700.
If your car is relatively fault free, is clean (this is the most overlooked!) and it's priced right, there should be no need to knock hundreds of pounds off.

I think that buyers will try to haggle for the cost of the tyres even though you have considered it in the price.
You have a well maintained Impreza wagon with a desirable prodrive pack and breat history but regardless of price, the thought of a set of tyres after purchase is potential for haggling.
Maybe get some part worns on it? I doubt that you could find four but certainly matching fronts and backs should be possible?
Is it necessary to comment on the dated sat nav? It seems a negative comment and open to further haggling.
Whatever you decide, stick to your price and good luck with the sale.

eBay is full of chancers and to be honest, I am one of them. I'd offer 3k for your car if if was in the market just to see if you accept it.
I always work on a 10% theme for ono so for your car I would want at least 370 off.
As Daniel has said, in the grand scheme of things it's £400 but depends how desperate you are to sell.

My Impreza sold to the second viewer... it was up for £6,750 and the first person wanted a grand off! Came to see it and made the offer and received a firm no, then proceeded to phone me 3 times still asking for the same price!? Weirdo.
Sold it the following week for £6,600 :smile: and off it went to Poland!
To be honest in my experience, foreign buyers can be the best. My brother's Impreza was exported to... to Germany.
