I was surprised how many views my Omega advert got from its autotrader, over 800 hits in 5 days!

To give an example a typical ad for a £5k Golf or Fiesta will get me 150-350 hits in a week.
I've got an 2009 Golf advertised and its only had 165 hits this week.

Just shows how many people are looking for cheaper cars on the run up to Christmas, my one sold to the first viewer who will hopefully join up here have given him the details.
Sad to see it go after just over 5 years (longest have ever kept a car for) and its been pretty good for an old 2000 W reg car never let me down.

799 hits from OOF members looking for a car to post and complain about (too expensive, too cheap, too tatty, too neat, etc ;D), 1 hit from a real person? ;)

Could be!
The furthest enquiry was from Harrogate (I am in Guildford so not very close 220 miles!).
this was the ad, now sold.

I think I could have sold it 3x over based on the enquiries that came in (as in at least 3 serious ready to buy today enquiries not just random callers
