Had you spent more time on here in the last week, you probably would have sold it

Before anyone says "Use the for sale section" I don't have anything like enough posts to be allowed to.

So does anyone have any advice on where to do it? My problem is not knowing where to sell cars generally. Previously I've always used them for years then traded them in for my next one. This time, I'd like cash, ideally.

I've tried Gumreee (that's where I bought it from) but despite getting plenty of looks, I've had no interest. If I'm allowed to post a link to Gumtree within forum rules, I'll happily do so, but in short, it's 53 plate Td4 in silver, with 126k on the clock, no leaks, 2l BMW engine, etc etc. I have it up for £1450 at the moment.

IMHO, it's reasonably priced - from the other ads I've seen so far, the only ones cheaper than it are either much lower mileage or only for parts, whereas mine is a runner, and according to the full HPI that I did on it (which I can supply a copy of), it's 500 quid less than its current value - it's recently been serviced (by an independent LR specialist locally) and there is, as far as I know, nothing wrong.

I've just not bonded. I bought it because I was told by a couple of LR fanatics that I'd quickly grow to love it, that it would grow on me, all that stuff. But I just don't get on with it. Sorry.

Unfortunately, it's now just sat on the drive in the way and while I know I'll lose money on it (it's already priced at over £300 less than it's cost, and I'm not including insurance or road tax), I'm not letting it go for effectively scrap money.

So does anyone have any ideas/advice/abuse/whatever, please? Thanking you in advance.

@Hippo - silver, and no, it doesn’t have a sunroof. It seems to be the most basic model of the time. Doesn't even have a trip meter, just an odometer, a clock, a speedo and a rev counter. Oh, and in answer to "Where yer gone?" the reply from MadMustang below should tell you why I'll not be back.

@Nodge68 - I did put those in the ad, along with a bunch of pics.

@Madmustang - Instead of being a snark, try reading what I actually wrote originally. It might have answered your latter questions for you.
