NOACROSS 414 Posted August 3, 2018 28 minutes ago, BHM said: Price it properly. I could say wtf sort of price is £1525 - surely you mean £1495 or £1500? - although tbh a 13yr old Meriva at that money! You’re certainly optimistic, the old heap of shit wants the ONE taken off the front of the price - I CANNOT BELIEVE ANYONE IS SURPRISED BY THE LACK OF INTEREST AT THAT RIDICULOUS PRICE. Forget ‘easytronic’, overwrite the title with ‘automatic’ and SORT OUT THE CORRECT ENGINE SIZE. Forget rephotoing it, describe it correctly, price it correctly then it’ll sell cos when it’s at CORRECT money it’ll sell to the bottom dollar market & they don’t give a f*** about photo quality. Honestly, I’d £495 the heap of shit. Noting the lack of response from the OP - I'm thinking we've lost him/her, however I'm bored waiting for a punter to come back off a demo (standard boring Golf customer worried about fuel economy on a 1.4 Golf- yawn!) so I'll chuck a couple more pennies-worth in: As much as BHM is utterly awesome and is the favorite contributor to this forum for many of us, with his straight talking and often straight-shooting- you have two choices: Do nothing, sell it for peanuts and move on. Or get it to a retail standard, re-photo and get the info correct! His advice about advertising it as an auto is spot on. New MOT a must as has also been suggested. I would go for option two, and look to sell it to an older person for good money myself if you can be bothered to prepare it correctly. If I was unlucky enough to have it on my site (it's unlikely it would be, and I'd give no more than £495 in px for it), it would be £1995 I think- but we are a bit different here on the south coast and small autos under two grand usually go quickly and are hard to find at retail establishments. 10 minutes ago, williamblackshaw said: I've not read the above posts as there is a lot so sorry if this has been said, our research is showing that people are visiting our website ad's across various platforms and then physically visiting without appointments or web form enquiries, lot's of stats on various publications about this on various industries so be mindful of that too. Weird, we rarely get any walk-ons. It's 95% emails or calls first. We're main road too. Even the local people call us to say they've either seen it online or driving past.

Area 51 33 Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) If you are going to include a shot under the bonnet, give it a rinse/wipe... looks uncared for and suited to the shitter title offered above.. therefore, just shift it at cost and move on.. and away from the pink portabog... next you will be getting advice to spray the doors/roof on the shithouse black to contrast the silver motor Edited August 3, 2018 by Area 51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
