Default Perfect Example of a Proper Car Advertisement

I look at cars for sale all the time, even when I'm not in the market. The laziness in which people place ads amazes me. No location, "email me for pictures", no mileage listed, etc., etc.

Below is a perfect example of how to place an ad and market your car for sale. I have no association with this seller. Enjoy!

That is a great ad. Would be difficult for buyer to say that "I didnt' expect it ..."

Ray - Can you explain your license plate? I can't figure it out. Maybe I need some caffeine.

Best ad I have ever seen on Ebay was for a Suzuki GSXr 750,it simply said it was for sale because when the wife said do what the f@@k you want she didn't mean buy a motorbike.

I like the NEUN ELF. That would have been fun too. The ND DMV was funny about it. They didnt' quite belive what it meant and then they misspelled it horribly on my first set of plates. I unofficially may have added the umlauts. Not sure if that will get me in trouble.

Perfect advertisement, zero bids. Perhaps a pricing failure.

Yup, all that oil and the car isn't even up to temperature.

That's a pretty good add. I try to be thorough but I don't know if I have ever gone to that extent.

Great pics, but from the one of the dash gauges it looks like the oil may overfilled. I also note that one of the pics of the car on the rack (the one that shows the sex pistols stickers) has a great Porsche poster with all the models in the background. I remember seeing it many years ago when I worked at a Porsche dealer, would like to get a copy of it - the poster not the stickers
