Hey melted,

No much you can do about tire kickers... I have a lot of fairly wealthy ppl in my area & when I sell a nice older car there's always a high number of people that are looking for a sexy old car, but know little about the model in question. They're basically trolling CL etc looking for test drives and the like. But you never know if one of them will pop on it.

What you need to get the car in front of is R107 fans, not just vintage car fans.

Have you tried OurSL.com? They're not free, but they are REALLY dedicated to the SL's. Just a thought.

I have listed cars on eBay before with a price that I was not really expecting to get (or a high reserve), just to get the car in front of people who were looking for one. I've sold several cars that were see on eBay and then buyers arranged to come see it in person.

Best of luck, man.
