Why Is It Soo Hard To Sell An Evo

guyss i ve been trying to sell my car for a long time now.. all ppl do is email.. no one seem to be interested in buying... i have a friend who s trying to sell his ford focus for a really long time..is the economy that bad or is the fuel cost really taking a hit on the evo byers...

What venues are you using to sell? I live in CT, and there is a local paper/website (www.bargainnews.com) that is only CT/NY/MA/RI. I've sold 2 Hondas, 1 Volvo, and 2 Camaros VERY quickly on that website. I've never used cars.com, autotrader, etc. Are you using a local place similar to that?

I sold my Camaro SS in 3 hours after I listed it (not too long ago) and I got $800 above blue book.

How can u relate the market for a Ford Focus, and a EVO?

Its not hard to sell a EVO. U got it priced to high, or not advertised enough.

It's all about pricing 21-22k you'll find a buyer.

maybe coz not so many people know what an Evo is. Coz for them it's just a regular over priced lancer with body kit, and rims.

and one more reason is the raising fuel cost.

A lot of people looking at used Evos are fearful that the cars have been monkeyed around with and then returned to stock to be sold.
