Why won't my car sell?

^ Agreed... and I hate to pile on to the OP but you definitely need to beef up the ad.
You also need to add about 10 more pictures... at least. When I sold my last car (CTS-V) I think it had about 15 pictures in the ad. And I posted the same pics in every ad whether it was on the forum. Autotrader, Cars.com, Craigslist, or eBay. In addition to several clear exterior photos from several angles you'll want to post:
- Interior shots
Driver Seat
Passenger Seat
Rear Seat
Dash
Console
- Trunk
- Engine Bay
- Sunroof (and any other special features you want to highlight like power seats, etc)
- Tires and tire tread (front and rear)
And yes, clean it up. You should wash, wax, and vacuum the car... then take pics.
Also, don't mention the price reduction. All that's doing is telling someone who hasn't seen your ad that you originally had it overpriced and it hasn't been getting attention.

It's no surprise that a poorly written/organized ad is not getting bites at a significantly higher than market value asking price.
Some easy and common-sense tips on good ads: large, clear pictures, clean interior/exterior, proper spelling and grammar (some light humor may help too). It's amazing how far basic common sense can take you in the world of the average CL ad....
Not knocking on OP but just some advice. Spending a few hours to clean the car and type up an organized, informative ad can net you hundreds or even thousand(s) of additional profit as it attracts more buyers and instills a sense of responsibility and care. (even if it is just an appearance....)
