my z4 now on PH - again
- Thread starter Laura
- Start date
i cant fix the door so it doesnt do it again, every time i try i slice my arm to peices and lose my temper so it would probably end up with a smashed windscreen lol, and the slickers arnt on it anymore but i cant take any more pics as its now in storage uninsured. it is also the cheapest z4 on PH because i know it isnt prefect
also change ajust to adjust and disks to discs. I also woulds state that its been up for sale and you haven't gone through with it, as it A) makes you sound like you might pull the plug on the sale , and B) make it sound like others have looked at it and decided against it. Its a bit of a negative message.
which is fine, but new buyers wont care. Anyone who has seen your car on PH for the last year isnt going to buy it anyway or else they would have done by now, you want to appeal to new buyers who have never seen your advert before, and they wont need to know you've had it up for sale and the sale hasnt gone through.
uploadedAnother couple of points - please don't take these to heart:
- Capital letters at the start of new lines/sentences and full stops at the end.
- Details of service history - Date / Mileage / Garage (maybe add a photo of the service history/receipts spread out)
- 'MOT expires in oct2012' - re-type that and the tax! MOT'd until XX October 2012 - I would give the specific date as it shows attention to detail.
- Whats the body work like - if its amazing say so.
- Wheels - condition, kerbing? etc. etc.
- Interior condition?
Putting in an extra hour or two writing a very detailed description can be the difference between a sale now for near the asking price or a sale in 2-3 months for £1k less.
Surely your time is worth £100 an hour! I put in as much time as possible when selling my car, and it does help! I don't ever have trouble selling a car and its usually to the first viewer as I describe them in great detail and price them right.
Hope this helps...

Yeh they've changed. Maybe not mention the door unroll people ring, obviously tell them before they get there but you can at least get talking to people.
Also private plate would put me off. You've just said it will be sold without but has it actually been done or still in the process?

Looks a lot better, but the wording is still a little awkward,
For example:
Should be:
See how it looks a lot cleaner?
Even put the dates if need be, as Pete has said, include correct punctuation, capital letters where they should be... simple stuff that makes a big differance.

For sale is my 3.0i manual z4, i have owned the car almost 2 years and it has been a joy over all that time. The mk1 golf i have spend 3 years building is now complete and my clio 182 is my daily car so i really have no need for the Z4 and it has spent the last month sat in my garage which is such a shame.
She really is a stunner and i will be so sad to see it go

Sorry, it hasn't changed then?! Or it hadn't when I looked?? But it was different to the first time I saw it?! :S
In which case yeah, the new one looks a million times better.
Oddly enough peoples advice to not tell people about the door I wouldn't take. I prefer that the buyer knows absolutely everything about the car first. If someone arrives with the idea of a lovely car and finds it has faults that were not described in the advert, some people will be left with a negative feeling of disappointment, and that's what they will remember.
If they know what to expect, including all faults then when they see it they will think, wow what a lovely car, even despite the minor faults.
It does look in great condition from the photos, so it should sell

Much better! That service history list is much more impressive that just saying Full Service History!
The condition description is good!
What about number of previous owners? The lack of it would lead me to think there have been a lot? Please don't tell me its really low like 1 or 2 and you haven't listed it!
I think with the new changes you should get more serious interest in it.
Let us know how you get on.

Touched it all up for you, when buying a BMW I'd expect 99% perfect grammar.

I had to wait 2/3 weeks to go and buy the car I wanted because the seller waited till the last minute to change the plates over, he'd always been able to do it there and then at the DVLA office but this time they had to send everything away for the transfer.
Just something you might want to be careful of.
Disagree, don't list price as it brings it home to potential new owner how much tyres are. Avoid cost listing as to me it makes the car look like it has cost you a lot.
Just say it has never wanted for anything, and has always been serviced maintained to the highest standard.
Its all about perception, if you're honest it comes across well, as does good grammar/spelling, and making the car look like a great next car for someone is very important.
Previous owners shouldn't put people off, it's something that should only be worried about if it's had 10 in 7 years or something daft!

RE: The plate - get it on retention now. No point waiting, someone might come along with a bag of cash tomorrow but if you got to wait a fortnight to get the plates changed over and they walk away, you're stuffed.
:evil:

They're good cars, I wouldn't mind one at some point!
Advert will do nicely now Laura, if it doesn't get any interest it will be more down to the market than anything else. Took about a month for me to get any serious phone calls/texts on the M3, the first guy that saw it bought it in a heartbeat! Buyers market, especially on that mileage, I wouldn't drop the price too much come haggling time as it's priced fairly.

yeah, i could really do with it going soonish, its just sat there doing nothing, and its ever so tempting to drive that and put the 182 away. BUt i have to be sensible.. 3 cars is too much for one person.. i need money back in my account and to have 6k just sat there doing nothing.. i think its very faily priced, who ever buys it will be getting a great machine for imo little money.
