Comments??

 

Without pictures, you probably won't get any interest. You're also selling a convertible in the beginning of winter, so it will be slow. Check eBay and Edmunds to get an idea of what they're selling for. You're much more likely to find a buyer on eBay or Craigslist (both free to list).

 

I have two dozen pics to send anyone interested; dunno how to post here. Had some local interest, but no problem if it doesn't sell. Will reduce insurance to comp only and store until spring. I am advertising on craigslist, but man do they scroll off the page in a hurry!! Will put on ebay as well. Recently sold an M3 Cabrio for high dollars, and had no interest from craigslist or ebay, but out of state tourist visiting here bought from the curb of my office...

Wish I was in Charleston visiting my daughters, it snowed here yesterday. Do you know Turky Berky there? Spoke with him some when I was importing classic minis a while back...

 

I was holding off on input, but since you asked I'd share my thoughts.

I've been looking at some here in CA, and the asking prices range from $14k to $18k. The $18k higher end are usually 75k miles or less, and the actual selling prices are probably closer to $16k. Your car has more options, but much higher mileage...plus you're far from the warmer climates. Therefore, as Saintz pointed out, it's beginning of winter in the northeast...and for people in CA, it would cost $1,300 to ship to CA, and the buyer would want a decent discount for the risk of buying the car sight unseen(personally that's what I would consider, but it wouldn't pencil out vs. CA cars unless it were closer to $12k so I didn't want to bother you).
Hope that's helpful...good luck to you.
