Review my for sale ad..

Post by Buckz » Fri Dec 01, 2017 12:52 pm

Hi guys

So I put my zed up for sale, will soon go everywhere else(ebay,autotrader etc)

but I just want some feedback on my for sale ad -; viewtopic.php?f=41&t=101949

Should I add/remove something? anything that you can see missing?

my main goal is to save my time and buyers time so they know what to expect before coming to view it.

Any advise/comments welcome!

thank you :)

Pretty comprehensive ad!

Only thing I'd like to see is more photos of the interior but that's just because I'm nosy and don't think I've seen that particular alu trim before

Nice car, just to add a above some nice interior shots in daylight would be good, I also like to do low down side profile pics to show panel condition.

Being honest as you asked , , the wording needs trimming by at least a third . Just drop any words not required
Pics are a mishmash & I'd drop the lot .
Take the car somewhere nice & all you need is 4 of the car showing bith sides , front & rear.
Under bonnet , 2 interior & leave it at that. You can always send pics to anyone interested .
Pick your choice of wheels that you prefer to sell with ( personally has to be the 224s )
Happy to remove any of the above :thumbsup:

In trying to save the buyer time you've created a monster ad :D
Too many pics and not many good ones - poor interior pics in low light.
All the details are there, but too lengthy - however, its the pictures letting the ad down.

To the uninitiated I think the ad is fine but I have to agree with the superior knowledgeable prior posts, poor pictures and to many words. Peeps will get bored of reading :roll:

Thanks guys, I was aware of the pictures. They're getting updated this weekend :) simply haven't had time. I will try and shorten the description while still including the main details.

Thanks again.

Have to agree with the above, consistency is the key here. So have it washed up and hoovered and take all photos in a single location. Ideally remove everything from the car, so it doesn't clutter or cause confusion - like mentioned previously with the car wheels.

Description, meh I'm okay with it being long. I'd rather an essay type listing like you've done than stupid "as per photos" or other poor descriptions which put you off.
