SILKYSMOOTH Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 WOW - not even 1 comment so far !!! ???? must be advertised too cheap??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Looks nice. I've got no idea whether the price is in the right ballpark though. Sounds reasonable though. You could do with a few different photos IMO. There's currently one of the engine, and 2 of the car from almost the same angle. Maybe include an interior shot and one of the rear?

Abz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Gumtree ad only allows you 3 pictures for a free ad, add an interior pic and maybe change the side picture to a more side view. Though have to admit your car does look very clean for 162k! The engine is very clean! I would recommend maybe dropping the price to £2,999 to get a better response, I believe you will get £2,600 in the current climate, though be very weary of gumtree buyers, I put my FTO up for sale I got stupid questions like what is the fastest you have driven it & will you know off £1k off the price! Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Much better, doubt you will get a sale here but I would recommend putting it up on pistonheads, tend to get some more geniune buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Buddy, cheers for the advice 1st Time I used Gumtree TBH (thought I would give them a try based on a reco) already had few of these annoying companies call to try to get me to register the car with their companies as they have "Interested Buyers"....... load of nonsense!!! I spent quite a bit on it recently so don't really want to drop too much on the price but will be flexible in the current climate probably £2750 min, I will try to get some more pics too.

SILKYSMOOTH Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 lol - the car gets washed and waxed twice a week inside/out underneath including the engine...maintained by myself. Had the car just over 1 year now..I bought it with 153k on it so I've done 9k odd since last year and it actually drives/looks better now that I have put my touch on it ;-) Reduced to £2999 ono - Quick Sale.

Paul Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Looks tidy mate, got any pics of the front interior though to show any wear? 90% of most cars rear seats look mint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately could do with a new Driver's Floor Mat though - but the rest are good. Here are some more pics I have just taken just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILKYSMOOTH Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Also advertised on ebay at the moment with 4 days left so if your interested in grabbing a bargain, Im gonna just let this go just for the sake of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kill1308 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'd consider putting the stock airbox back on it if you still have it I think the type of people who'd likely be looking at this sort of car will see the air filter, think "boy racer" and be put off. That was my initial reaction when looking at it... thought it might help... Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH though the front strut brace makes a huge difference.... completely gets rid of understeer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
