It's pretty rare to get ripped off as 80-90% of sellers these days ask too much for their cars. That's why they don't sell or get much interest. If it's a quality car I'd also try Autotrader.com. You can post a 3 photo ad for only $25 that will run for a month. Craig's List is good for local interest, but sometimes these cars need national interest to sell. But, a quality LS-1 F Body priced right should have no problems selling unless the miles are just too high. Should be no problem trying to sell a less than 70K mileage M6. The A4's can be a bit slow if the miles or # of owners is too high.

A quick sale requires proper advertisement and an aggressive price for a low/moderate demand vehicle, or an average price on a high demand vehicle. 90k mile A4 Z28s are not really in high demand, so your pricing will have to be on the aggressive side if you want to sell it quick.

If the car is advertised well but still isn't selling, then the offers that you consider to be "low ball" might be closer to reality - especially if you want to move it fast. I see so many over priced cars on the various classifieds sites, and CL, and even here on 'Tech. They all have one thing in common - the ads hang around forever without a buyer.

Everyone complains about "low ballers", and sometimes their offers really are so low, as compared to average market value, that they are clearly just dreamers. But then there are also sometimes sellers who seem to be dreamers themselves.

It's hard to suggest a value with such little detail, no photos and no idea of market averages for your respective region, but again if people are contacting you and/or coming to look at the car and all offering significantly less than your asking price, then it's safe to say that your price is probably outside the range of "quick sale" territory.

From what I can tell, everyone is having issues right now. If it's not dirt cheap, or showroom condition, it's not selling.
