I sold my car in less than a week. Mind you, I bought it at a good price, but I also priced it to make it attractive for "REAL" buyers to jump on it. All in all, my loss was probably 30 cents a mile for what I drove it--and let me tell you, anyone would pay 30 cents a mile for the fun factor. I also factored in that I had an "older" SPF chassis albeit with some nice updates. The main message is, you need to see what has actually been selling, and at what prices. Not what the ads are listing, but what deals get done and at what price. If you price it high, you will not get the interest and people will read your ad and move on.

I have a friend who bought a SPF with low low miles that was traded into a dealer on a Viper and essentially stole the car IMO. The dealer just wanted to move it. Those are the buys that ARE out there, and that is where the smart money is going. My friend should have no problem selling his car for what he paid, or even for a profit.
