Do I have my car priced right?

[77Targa0912]

Haven't had any bites, which I think is strange. Any advice would be appreciated.

Seems reasonable.
Not sure why you haven't had any bites. I like the color and sport seats are nice. Seems well cared for.

More than fair price. The ad is quite verbose which might put off some. I'd put the fuchs on for the pictures. Also I would add a couple more pics of the exterior including one of the full profile.

I agree with Rick about the Fuchs, seeing other rims is a turn off to many. I think you are priced fairly. Be patient. Good luck, Tim

I think middle Targas look nice with cookies. Something about cookies on those cars that just looks 70's awesomeness to me. Nice car, getting into 3.2 money, but nice car.

Put stock wheels back on it, slim down the ad a bit and get someone to take great exterior photos. Looks like a nice car.

[David Borden]

Agreed on the wheels, change them out to the Fuchs and re-shoot the car. Price seems very reasonable given the market. Will probably take some time, but the right buyer should be out there.

+1 FUCHS! It'll make a huge difference. I'd also post this on other sites like eBay or BAT for the "retail" buyer.

Otherwise I think it's priced right. It's not a fire sale price so it may take a little longer to sell but that's a beautiful car in a great color so there should be someone out there ready to pay for it.

[Matt Monson]

It's in the ballpark but you might need to negotiate a bit to sell. Great color and agreed on the Fuchs. Trim the ad down and give the greater details only to those who engage you.

I don't know about BAT. You'd probably have half a dozen ignorant ****s spewing **** on the car saying middies suck, thermal reactors, the 2.7 is fragile etc.

I'll slim the add up and take the car out for a better photo shoot this weekend. 75 and sunny is perfect Targa weather!

I've sold two p-cars on BAT and was pleased with the results. It does take thick skin at times and good communication but in the end it was fast and easy. Yes it has its share of trolls but there are also a lot of reasonable and knowledge people posting on the site.

Not saying anything new here, but my first thought was 'Put the Fuchs on.' First impressions mean everything and people don't want to see non original wheels on an otherwise clean, original car. I think you're right on with this price, have a little patience, looks like a great car

[specialtyoneinc]

You want to sell it quickly put it up for $29,995 obo. Think it's true market value is upper $20's. If you have time you might get a little more. Middie Targa's aren't that sought after right now. GLWS.

[Rick Brooklyn]

I would hold firm on the price. Maybe take $1k off if you really want to.

No way a clean car like that in a rare color (which means not guards, black or white) is upper 20s. Sport seats alone are worth $2k probably.

You need some patience, the middie buyers pool is growing but it's still smaller than SC or 3.2 buyers.

I would post it on PCA, too. There are people who sign as provisional members while they're looking for a car, just to browse the ads, like I did. The right buyer for this middie is more likely to be a person like that than some random tire kicker who's looking for a cheap "porschah".

[bbturbo]

Second the price, don't drop it too much and be patient. The right buyer will come for the color.

[MattTHEpainter]

Personally I think it is a touch high. If you are in no rush to sell; then keep it priced where you have it and the right buyer may come along.

If you want more interest drop it to $30K.

[Gaspassin]

Everyone has their own opinion about this, but after reading the ad I think the info level is fine. To me it comes across as a knowledgable owner who is trying to be forthcoming about the car's condition. This is a plus in my book.
Not sure if the other poster was alluding to you pointing out "shortcomings" or deficiencies as being a negative toward a sale.

I'll see it I an find the thread and listing. A middie of the same color recently sold back to a previous owner and was discussed here.
