Have I overpriced this car, I think it is a fair price based on condition but I have had very little interest but it is only a week up.
What do people think?

There are more expensive ones out there so should I hold out, I am not in a big rush to sell but I would have expected more interest.

I can't comment on the price point too much, but don't forget its 10 years old now. Personally, I think the standard tail lights, grille and removal of the M badge will help sell it faster. Its the first thing that catches my eye anytime I look at the add. Looks a nice clean car though.
Hi there, I think your ad could benefit from some refinement for a start. The wording is very cluttered. Change the layout to bullet points listing the features and recent work/pros of the car. The exterior shots are very good but you need interior pictures. Loose some of the paperwork pictures. And I think your price is a tad high so have a think about that too. It is a lovely car in fairness. Hope this is of help.
I would agree that bullet point adverts are easier on the eye. Especially as many ppl view the adds on their mobile. The amount of info is overwhelming, I would also prefer the standard rear lights and some interior shots would be good. 5 series are making less so price could be hard get but its a great looking car. GLWS.
Price is high imo given it's 10 years old.
Here is one being sold by a dealer asking 8k and that will come with some sort of warranty.

Another few here asking similar money that are a year younger:

I sold a similar 2008 one about 4 years ago for 15k and that had low motor tax and was higher spec with leather, idrive sat nav, etc. BTW your advert has no photos of the car's interior either.
Thanks for your opinion/comments, I will remove the M badge and update the pictures. I'm not sure about the grills and lights but i suppose it isn't my taste that matters it is the potential buyer opinion that matters.Quote:

U just mist know that it will not be easy to sell car for higher price of there is lot others with lower prices . U just must wait for some body ,it might take ages .When people just really want to get rid of them ,they drop the price .Quote:

Summer time can be a slow time of the year selling a car. Most folks are only focused on their holidays. If you're getting calls then you are getting interest but you have to try your best at convincing them over the phone to come view it.
It's a lovely car and looks very well kept. At that price, you're waiting for a specific buyer imo. Someone who's looking for a 320d M Sport and knows a very clean and well kept example when they see it.
You've obviously spent a bit of money on it lately (refurb, service, tyres) but they're a sunk cost. They're effectively worth zero to the average buyer, who doesn't appreciate that they are saving in the long run if they buy yours.
I've got the same car and I wish you the very best with the sale. It's a beautiful car.
Why not keep it? Seems like there's plenty of good years left in it?
Thanks for your commentsQuote:

I am actually in two minds weather I will just keep it and drive every once in a while but I know that will become less and less.
did you sell it?
Yeah it's gone, first viewer bought it
