start it at 99p for 10 days and let it find its correct value. starting low will get lots of interest and bids, which help. starting at the price you want for the car will only attract one person (possibly) and therefore wont get lots of people that is needed to push the price up.

i started my 4 year old 7 series at 99p on ebay its the best way to do it.

Thats good advice, never tried that. Id love to run it but with the currect economic climate and a predicted mpg of about 30? Its not on the cards. I already have a diesel runabout and would rather let it go with the satisfaction of fixing it up and making someone happy to be driving it about.
