thing is, without the hardtop, i've been offered 10k albeit, over the phone, a few times but thought this was low. I think 10.5 without hardtop is very reasonable.

re. the colour, I think it does demand a premium as its so rare-this often happens with the desirable rarer colours.

re. hard top, think I might just sell it separately if I get a reasonable offer.
 
That's only £500 off the asking price. I would take it.

Hardtops are going for £350 + on ebay so you would only be £150 down worst case.
 
that's when it was on for 11k though lol so I wasn't thinking like that. but still I think 10.5k is a really good price and offers over the phone or via messaging are always a bit naff.

Unfortunately, if you want to sell the car, what you think is irrelevant, as is how much you paid for the car, what other cars sold for last week, and the phase of the moon! The only thing that matters is how much somebody is willing to pay for it (and I certainly wouldn't consider an over-the-phone-without-having-seen-the-car offer a genuine one).

I think that you are concentrating far too much on the colour - it may be rare because nobody really wanted it - and not enough on the car. If I was buying a 13-year old M3 I would be much more concerned about the mechanical and bodywork condition, and what bills might be coming up than in what colour paint was slapped on the thing in the factory. At that age, buyers will be on a tight budget and that's likely to be their main buying criterion.

Yes, there might just be 1 or 2 people out there who just have to have an Atlantis Blue car, but I think that they would have been in contact already if they existed. You need to look at similar year/mileage cars for sale, and if yours in not the cheapest, then you need to have a good answer as to why somebody should buy your car instead of the cheaper one.
