Question Tips on selling 97 Cobra?

I've had my 97 Cobra listed on Autotrader.com for almost 2 weeks now, and I haven't received one single call. What's the deal? Are people just not interested in these cars? Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sell it?

According to KBB you are $1000 over book value for a car that is in excelent condition. That may be why.

I agree. Your Cobra might be in excellent shape, but there are quite a few out there with minor imperfections for thousands less.

Yeah that seems alittle pricey. If it had less miles or if you lowered the price it would sell alittle faster.

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.
