For Sale subsection just for cars?....

[RedRobin]

Would it be helpful to both sellers and potential buyers to have a separate section under For Sale dedicated to car sales? When I say "car sales" I mean a whole car, there being several examples currently posted (which could be moved to the new subsection if it is adopted).

As time goes on I can see a growth of car sales on the site and it may also attract new members (not that the site needs any!).

Just an idea for your consideration, gentlemen.

So how much are you putting your car up for Robin.

I was waiting for that! I nearly added to my original post that I wasn't selling mine. No ulterior motive for personal gain involved in my suggestion.

I think its a good idea. I'm planning on advertising a couple of cars in the coming months!

I have been having a think about this and the last thing we would want is to many cars for sale.
Places that sell cars attract all the swindlers and crooks and twats who burst trough your patio doors. 
if they knew this place as a car selling place i think it would attract them to look throughout the forum for cars to target.

That's quite valid, TC - I'm not convinced that a subsection would especially increase the attention of scumbags but I see your point.

Well I am



with this one.

I don't  think we are the best place to support the selling of a car and to date am not aware of any successful sales as a result of this site.

Given that the vast majoirty of people list of pistonheads/auto trader/exhange and Mart / etc it would probably be best if they just link there adverts in the "other for sale links" child board IMHO

Yep, members posting a link in the "Other For Sale Links" would work perfectly well.

I had noticed several cars being advertised recently and the idea popped into my head. Always worth sharing ideas because occasionally something good comes out.

i can see your point re. theives and scammers, but no matter where you go you get them, even on autotrader and pistonheads. Its just the case of being careful.

I personally feel if a for sale subsection was added with links to the website where it is advertised would be very handy, mainly because i would be quite attracted to a car that has been enthusiast owned and maintained. Atleast it gives you an idea of the type of owner, and if they have posted a blog on the forum, the potential buyer would be able to see the progress and maintenance of the car.

Just a thought..
