I've had mine on the market for a week, and no bites (no nibbles, even). 2.5 years old, 27,600 miles, and I'm asking about $2700 less than a similarly spec'd car would cost new. My car also has a high-quality aftermarket exhaust (Borla), parcel shelf, and other upgrades. I have the most descriptive (i.e. expensive) ads available on Autotrader and cars.com, and the only e-mails I've even gotten have been through craigslist.

C4, I think you got lucky. And I think the market has seriously tanked in the last few months. My new car arrived in 34 days! Who's going to buy used with that sort of turnaround on ordering new?

I think I've dug myself a hole several thousand dollars deeper than I thought. Maybe I should ship it out to Cali and pay somebody to sell it...
