Or rather why am i having absolutely NO interest.
http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=290822
Ok i know it is a little overpriced, but i really thought i would get at least a little bit of interest from people but nothing 
Any ideas peeps

well, personally I love the car, saw it at pvs and it is very clean.
although I think there is less and less people that would spend £3850 on a corsa B unless it is something very special.
you can pick up a mint standard sport for about £1600 now and then have £2250 to spend on wheels, suspension, irmscher.steinmetz stuff......

You've specced it up quite a bit. I'd say people prefer buying a std or std-ish car and then doing it their own way. Plus for nigh on £4k there are plenty of other cars to chose from.
Either return it to a more std spec flog the bits and lower the price; or if you can't be arsed to do that just lower the price!

This is what i was planning on, just finding the right buyer.
To be honest i've not had it on Flee Bay or in Autotrader and Max poo yet.
There the next options

Usually if a car is taking ages to sell, means its overpriced....

Autotrader is a good bet, sold a few cars on there and all gone within the week.

I don't think it helps either that you have put in your advert that its overpriced.
As people have said on here most people on corsasport salready have corsas so its not the best place to sell. And also i think you need to be coming down at least under 3k if not lower!

First places you should try, Autotrader first. Also the engine size maybe stopping people as really its a younger lads car, and they wont be able to insure it.
Put it in Autotrader for £3,000 should sell then.

Modified cars are harder to sell than standard ones, always will be.

IMO your not seriously selling it until you stick it in the AT!!! Websites like this is full of 2 types of people 1) Those already with cars & 2) People with no money to buy cars!!!!!
