Cool. Thanks. Not had much interest that's all 2 calls in a month. Maybe it's the weather?

I'd get some more pictures on, pictures speak a thousand words and more detail in the add.

I try and put as much in the add as I can so pretty much anyone calling about it is asking about viewing rather than a million questions about the car.

Not sure what more I can put in ad. As for pictures. The car exterior is a bit dirty now. Will take some more of the inside.

IMO only, the pics let it down.  Description is ok, but I would look at adding some more details and more exterior and interior pics.

Wash it, dry it, clean inside.

Take several closer pics of the car itself then interior.

I might go a bit over the top when listing etc but I always get a sale  :happy2:

I always add the maximum amount of pictures I can on a listing when selling a car. I make sure the car is clean and take the pictures somewhere nice and open like a local park or something.

As for description just add everything it's got like electric windows x 4, electric mirrors etc but bullet point them so it's easy and quick to read.
And also add how many keys it's got, what previous history is with it aswell as what's been done in your ownership etc

Just get as much in as you can. The more I read in an add when buying a car the better. It always gives me a sense that the seller has done more to the car than just drive it.

Three reasons cars don't sell.
1. The car is overpriced
2. The car is crap
3. The ad is crap

I sold it for £2.4k. Car is not crap. I think the original pics I had didn't do it justice. I went from 5 watchers to 20
Watchers within 24hrs. Quite impressed

Saw the updated add pal. Looked like a nice motor. The new pictures did it the world of justice
