Where Did I Go Wrong?

Hi All,

 

So despite over a 1000 hits, 34 watchers and 2 genuine calls I did not get one e-bay bid for my Mk5b cabriolet. The auction ended yesterday. The car is not mint but is in very good condition and has mainly been garaged and has an excellent service history backing its 74K miles. 1st owner had it for 17 years and I have had it for almost 4.

 

This has been a great car and has power operated everything. The only reason it needs to go as late last year I finally found what I originally wanted; that is a genuine and unmolested Mk3 Escort Cabriolet 1.6 Injection in dark blue. So shall I wait until the spring and summer sun comes and sell the Mk5b with a full MOT, and hopefully the price will go up, or should I cut my losses now, and try to sell it again on its SORN?

 

To some these are not as desirable as the MK3's but even so I thought I would get a few bites. Perhaps I'm out of touch. Appreciate feed back please guys. Thanks in advance.....

As you say not as desirable as the MK3's or Mk4's but I do believe they will pic up in price over time

 

everything sells if the price is rite but set yourself a price & stick with it.

Thanks for the response RScab. I think I will lick my wounds for a few days before I decide what to do. Accessing my garage to get to the Mk3 would be good - its a pain shuffling cars about and someone somewhere may like the idea of getting the Mk5b ready for the spring and summer sun. It seems a waste. However holding out & maybe keeping it a few more months and sticking a MOT on it may not be a bad thing......
