Default Hard selling a low-mileage Accord

I don't know why, but it was really easy selling my old prelude. I am having some trouble selling my mom's accord for her. What are some tips you all can give me? I have already posted on autotrader.

Maybe..but be more agressive with the sale too..advertise the features the car has to offer..not so much just the price and that it an accord tell people why it is worth that much..or why you think it is..

I read that it's your mom's accord, but make sure that you clean the car thoroughly. If there's anything other than stock, list it(e.i. new stereo, tires, tranny oil, ect.).

Other than that, sometimes it will just take time to sell a car.

u have to realize the fair market value for ur car is no where near $8k and plus it's 10 years old despite the low miles, that's the price a dealer would want for that car but unfortunately ur not a dealer, so u need to be more realistic...i bought my 96 gsr with 64k miles for only $8k and u want more than that for a car that is pretty much common for all the soccer moms out there...

The price is to high! there is a sweet spot in used cars $2500-5000 cars sell like hot cakes. When yo uget over 5 grand you are looking at bank loans while people with 2500-5000 can pay cash.

that's very high for Georgia. Even very high for LA.

Is it a cherry garage queen or was it parked outside? A full detail (done by You) might be in order.

Without looking at the KBB/EDMUNDS price that was posted above, the "normal person" price for a 94 lx auto w/64k price that pops in my head would be ~$6.2-6.8k. IF the paint was cherry & shiney...hubcaps undamaged....everything working....interior spotless...etc.
