And I suspect the colour isn't helping


Based on your SC I can't go down the faster colour route.......

......so will just have to settle for "more individual" and not ten-a-penny colourwise

I went for the blue as there were so few about vs the Moonrock / Silverslows.

If I knew how much harder it was to keep clean and wash in the sun I may have chosen differently!

Will have to keep my fingers crossed someone out there wants to be a bit different without going for full on Orange / Yellow.

Thanks Mr Wall - makes sense to me a bit more.

I suppose with all these things; guides are only indicative, it all comes down to what someone is willing to pay for a vehicle

I have said it before and I will say it again. Sales of S2000s are very seasonal. A dealer knows that if he takes a car in February that he is likley to have that car in stock for 3 months. Many dealers run a used car policy where they will hold onto a car for either 60 days or 90 days and if the car is not sold by the sell by date it goes into the ring. Bigger dealers being less flexible than smaller dealers.

Try taking the car to a couple of dealers in late March making them aware that your car is for sale. If they are smart then they should love the opportunity to sell your car before they have bought it, but those are few and far between.

Otherwise take you car to a dealer after a warm sunny weekend or check the weather forecast to advertise on a sunny weekend.

Sales hot up in May (pun intended).

Good luck.
