firstly, how old is it. the condition, size engine mot ect is always in peoples heads when wanting a secondhand car. yes i would say a 106 in good condition with at least 6months mot is worth that £750 but as everyone else said its that time of year. if its a diesel there known to blow a head gaskets alot and is slower than the petrols. people are sometimes put off by the petrols becouse they atomaticly think the poor litle engine has been raced to bits which isnt always the case. when you advertise id put £800 ono(or nearest offer) becouse they think theyd get a bargin when they nock you down £50, but you would still get what you want.
they key is presentation, honesty and mot. if theres less than 6 months have it done again. if its filthy give it a good clean, and if someone askes anything about it be honest, even if its been in a crash ect. hope this helps.

People are always advised to not view cars in rain, and besides, who fancies looking at a car in poor weather? Oh, and it's Christmas too, where wallets are already getting quite a battering.This makes it quite a (brave) buyer's market, even thoguh your car is already at a rather low price. Times such as the run-up to Xmas a re great opportunities for bargain-hunting buyers.
Otherwise, is there anything else that could be keeping the punters away? Is it a bit dirty? Is the mileage a bit high? Is it anything to do with your advertising at all?

As well as not being the right season, Peugeot brought out there latest great car...the 107, it's cheap payments per month, cheap cheap cheap insurance and cheap tax.
Why buy an old car when you can just drive your car into the garage and get it fixed without extortionate payments!
It's the reality in alot of countries now, that old cars are actually more expensive in the long run......however if I had the money I'd buy it!

Its probably the season. most people get working cars before it comes to this time of year. It could also be the fact that so many dealerships offer finance so you can by a brand new car on credit. Most people would choose a new car over a used one nowadays.

Have you actually advertised it? When was the last M.O.T/service/tax done? If it was nearly a year ago then people are less inclined to buy it, as it may have developed faults. How many miles has it done? Is your advert reasonably coherant?

Something second hand is only worth what some body is willing to pay for it, if it is worth more to you then keep it. You could try eBay.
