critique my car advert

Swordfish · 2 May 2011 at 23:02

Not much of an expert but surely the tax dates are wrong?

Edit - pipped to the post. Damn my lazy typing fingers.

Says tax sept 2012, you said 2011 which seems correct earlier, and 2012 wouldn't be possible

Good spot, typo there! it's 2011!

Put more info on your advert, you are so lazy

Tell me why I should buy your car.

I had loads of info and people on here said I had way to much. I skimmed it down and now it's to little!

It was a 5000 word essay, as I said you've gone from one extreme to the other

"* 5mm+ front tyre tread rears will require replacement in future."

No tyre will last forever, so obviously tyres will need replacing in the future lol So is it worth mentioning that? Would it not be better saying what depth the rear tyres are at, replacement in the future could mean the day after the person has bougth the car because they're nearly down to 1.6?

added info about tyres! Still not had any more interest! any idea on how to get it gone?

I don't want to go much lower might go to 3400! I have paid to go pro on pistonheads,

It's a 2.5 litre BMW, you are not going to have people queuing up around the block to buy it - it may take several months, so don't be so hasty to start slashing the price unless its overpriced.

This sort of car can take ages to sell.

Personally I think the short, bullet point adverts are the best. Easy to skim and you get the key info fast.

I guess hopefully I can shift it before the end of the month as I am then over in florida for 7 weeks! If it's not gone I shall drop the price to around 3k to get it really gone but I don't think it's overpriced looking at others!
