It's been two weeks since I put my car on the market. I have shown it to 0 people. Zero. This is very discouraging for me. I have already lowered my price from $14,000 to $13945 (that number just looks better). Next month I can lower it another $300, bringing my price to $13,500. I think I will get my car waxed and detailed, get an oil change, take some new pics and think positive this weekend. My mother suggested I try praying...I might consider doing that too.
It's tough staying positive when all I hear from people is that it's a buyers market, and that with this economy it won't be easy to sell. Well, I know it won't be easy to sell unless I price it more competitively. I just need one buyer who is ready to fall in love with my car.
What I haven't done yet is posted my car on other websites like helix, or other car sites. Maybe that will do the trick.
Meanwhile, I have been riding my bike more. The weather has been wonderful, blue skies, in the low 70's. I have enjoyed my rides and even have been able to ride on BART with a few co-workers on the way home. Riding my bike is going to force me to be on time more often, and plan better. Two things that I could definitely use in my life.
I find myself looking forward to riding my bike to work in this wonderful weather. I have also appreciated the convenience my car has afforded me when I did use it over these past few weeks. I just don't think it's worth it, the convenience, compared to the debt I carry.
