Help me with an eBay description.

[Danthus]

I know nothing about cars or parts but I have a part to sell and I need a suitable description for my eBay listing.

The part in question is catalytic converter for a Toyota Avensis, it was a 2001 year model.

The part was fitted to the car but never driven, it was tested on the ramps but there was another problem with the engine which meant it was too expensive to repair the car.

Can ye old knowledgeable motors chaps help with with a suitable description taking the above into mind.

Thanks in advance!

I meant in terms of being honest that it has been fitted but never driven etc etc.

I just want to cover my behind and give an honest description. Knowing nothing about cars, selling them or selling parts i don't know what buyers look for in a description etc.

Then you need to get you sense of smell tested.

Blatantly!

OP what you've already written is absolutely fine as an eBay listing.

Just keep it short and be honest. No need to create a huge backstory for the part.

Worst "I have a catalytic converter for a Toyota Avensis for sale" thread ever.

Don't bother, just scrap it, you will probably get more for it that way especially once ebay have robbed you.

 

[Bromhead]

Just list everything you know about it and put some sort of disclaimer in there as well.

This. If it's a genuine one then a scrapyard should give you reasonable money for it.
