Interesting. I’ve had my car on Carsales for about three months. It’s a somewhat expensive car at $50,000 second hand.

I would say there’s been one potential buyer with the money needed to buy it but he couldn’t quite get high enough.

The rest of the potential “buyers” have offered ludicrous swaps like a restored 1985 hot hatch (and me give him $10k on top). I can’t work out if they’re all mad or fraudsters.

Anyway, no sale.
