DBG .. agreed ... an advert is supposed to attract/entice/interest you into taking further action ... so although no-one would buy the car on the basis of the advert .. how many won't even follow up because the advert is so poor/uninspired

More pics being uploaded as we speak, but they still look like they were taken on the cheapest smartphone camera phone you could buy 8 years ago.

I'll have you know that my 2015 smartphone is only five years out of date...

I have noticed the cavalier way some parties choose to try and sell their cars on ebay  (no photographs and minimal narrative to describe) so in my book it is richly deserved when little or no interest is shown, and they do not sell, some of these adverts are so minimalistic,awwxpw it is almost an insult to prospective purchasers and I avoid them like the plague.

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"
