There seems to be a trend with private car sales recently, I know I have sold about 5 cars in the last 3 years. With the incentives that the new car dealers are offering on new cars including the awesome lease rates on all new Hondas selling a used Honda will be difficult. You almost have to price the car at wholesale to get any bites and then they show and want to scrutinize the car even at wholesale price. One technique they attempted to use on me over and over is to bargain the price down over the phone before seeing the car and then when they arrive start at that the already discounted price and start negotiating down from there, its frustrating and irritating. I will not negotiate a price on the phone with someone who has not seen the car.
Unless you are desparate you might want to think about waiting at least until the lease offers expire at the Honda dealer. They have a zero down 240 a month lease right now on the Insight that no payment on your car could beat.
If you wait until the lease deals expire, which should corespond with low dealer stock I would think your price should be a good deal with all the accessories. My dealership is out of Insights and sells them as they come off the train! Invite people to shop window stickers and then make reasonable offers on yours.
