currently selling my e60 but it has a fault with the passenger head light where condensation has corroded the chrome, the actual head light works fine.

had few people come and see the car and all say they would pay my asking price if the light was perfect but want like £500 off the price with the light how it is.

I have already under priced the car compared to other cars of same spec for sale.

Am i asking to much? do i need to drop alot off the price because of this fault?


Seams to be scaring buyers off not sure by how much i need to adjust my asking price



thanks

well how much is it to fix the issue?

if its less than 500 then just fix it yourself and repost it

if more then take the 500 off and sell the car

I got a perfect headlight off ebay for around $150-200! I swapped it out in a few minutes...Why don't you just buy one...People are going to lowball you do to the fault, regardless if you have under priced your car!

It will be RHD brabus but having said that the xenon lights have a switch to change them from RHD to LHD and vicer versa.

Just add $500 to the price next post, then when they say something drop the price $500... ..(you know, since you have it underpriced)

Are you telling the buyers about the headlight, or leaving them to find it on their own?
