This also holds true for someone trying to sell.

If you've had your car for sale for 4 months and someone hasn't bought it, perhaps you need to meet the market. I see it all the time. People think there newish car is worth more than it actually is.

Back in 2011 I sold a roadbike ( 09 R1 for those interested). It was 18 months old, cost me roughly 20K new although there was a trade involved and the trade in figure was inflated, bit thats another story.
It was immaculate. New tyres, tastefully modded with a nice set of Leo Vince mufflers and had been dyno tuned, etc. Only downside was it had only 6 months rego. Advertised it for $13,900.
Sold it in a week for $13500. Too cheap? Maybe I could have held out for $13900 but for how long!
There are still examples of that bike on bikesales that were advertising when I sold mine asking for $14500 firm. Never sold it then and will never sell it for that now either as its just sitting there depreciating!
