Hello, I have a Honda Integra 2006 Type S coupe which has been on AA Car Fair (and Trade Me) for 4-5 months without being sold. I have reduced the price over that time by $1,500. The current asking price is below what a dealer would sell it for. Are there ways/strategies to encourage its sale?

Hi there,
Unfortunately it can depend on the market and the location you are in, and who the target market would be in your area.
Price can be a big factor, maybe put or near offer on a classified to gauge what people are actually willing to pay. The value of your car will be dictated by what people are actually willing to pay. Private sale seems to place the value of the car in our books, around 7.5-8.5k. But agian the market will dictate in reality.
Maybe take a lot more photos and add them in, or different locations/ body angles.
