Most people get tired of owning them and trade them in or send them to auction, mature people tend to own them, so younger buyers ignore the earlier models and regard the latest models to be the ones they MUST have, because celebs have the flash ones. Me personally would have any of them but maintenance and insurance, fuel costs are too much for me at the moment.
newer models aren't fetching good prices either my boss can vouch for that. put it on eBay with a reserve?

A good solution is to call Auto Mart Magazine...like the ones you get free at the grocery store. The place a photo and a description of your car in their magazine and the magazine is shipped nationwide. My father recently did the same for his motorcycle because he was having the same problem as you. the next day the magazine went out he had 2 callers. Since then hes had 2 or 3 a day.

Try Ebay, and put a resaonable reserve on it, it's not cheap, but once the auction is over you have a good chance the winning bidder will pay, as long as you delete the 0 rated bidders, or give them the option of providing a land line number

Sometimes the place where you put the advert will get people from their offices to call you and make appointments. That way you think you are getting a good response and will place your advert again the following week or month.

Try cars.com and autotrader.com
Or take it to carmax and see what they'll give you.
Selling is agravating, so many time wasters out there.
