Thankyou! As I said, our pricing was based on what the other models on trademe were going for, less 1k because it's a private not dealer sale. Am somewhat annoyed we didn't do our homework more before we bought it - we paid over 26k for it 3 months ago, wouldn't have paid nearly that much if I'd realised how overpriced it was (although that was comparable to other trademe prices at the time too).
Do cars generally sell for less at auction then? (All the dealers here are listing theirs in the high 20s - there's one very similar to ours but with 10k less on the clock going for $27k)
PS How do we go about getting it into an auction? have googled for "car auction nelson nz" but not got very far with it.
