Brilliant car, lousy advert ... surely if you want to sell at a high premium you actually make some sort of effort ?

Fantastic. Even the photos are rubbish.

[minifreek]

What Id give just to own that car.....


But the advert is shit TBH...

[Terbs]

I expect Mr Wood will have knowledge of this vehicle, as its in his domain

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

Yep...a piss poor effort.

It makes you wonder if the service history is as poor as the photography.

The ad says everything it needs to...

If you are looking for a Lotus Carlton, you would never buy it blind, and certainly not based on photos on an ebay listing

Mmmmm. I wonder if I sh..<shifts nervously>

Over priced. Would go on abs and see if it's a known members car first,then ask the vendor for the build number.
 If I had £25k would buy a VXR8.

I'm often amazed at the crappy pictures that people put up when trying to sell their cars.  If it's a £300 banger that's one thing but a £30,000 car?  Surely you'd put some effort in?

If it's a common car then it's a valid point, but summat genuinely rare, if you seriously want it, you'll find out as much as physically possible about it and go and spend a good half day pouring over it...

If you want to get attention,  place an ad on ebay... only costs the meagre listing fee and if you don't sell it, you don't pay any commission...

It's a known car on abs, was an ex members car,number 234.

[Diamond Black Geezer]

It's a fair point, just ring the number and find out more about it the ad says all it needs to, and I do agree, that is very true. On the other hand for me it really is the 'principle' of it. Old fashioned though I am, it's like if the guy isn't fastidious enough/can't be bothered to even see if the pics he's taken are blurry - and the thing looks to have been driven through a field (look at the back tyre) - how fastidious is he about servicing, cleaning, keeping a check on little spots of rust etc.. For me it's the 'reading between the lines' of buying a used/classic car.

"Well it's time to say farewell to a part of the family. This --- has been to the Alps and back with us on several family holidays and never missed a beat. Cost me many an hour of grazed knuckles keeping her serviced and running spot on. Sadly owing to a change of circumstances, I can't afford the cost of running two cars, so this amazing --- has to go. Maintained regardless of cost, and I know that I can't run her the way she deserves to be. Will be provided with fresh MoT at point of sale at no extra cost. Please ring 012345678 for any questions. Thank you"

"Car. had it 3 years never needed service or enefin. Ring Daz 0123455678 4 questions lol"
