I've never put anything on ebay before so putting my trusty old Mazda MX6 up (as it has been replaced by the lotus oh the joy) is a major first.

If anyone has any comments on the ad - how I can make it better - I'd be grateful!

Thanks in advance

£12, what a strange figure to start the bidding

Add seems okay, sounds honest etc. I would like to see a few more pictures if I was bidding, but then I would want to come and look at it too unless it is going to for silly money. (Which I guess you don't want it to!)

Seems pretty good overall though.

Cheers,

Steve

P.S. Be very wary of scammers trying to bid on it. I would also add that you will only accept bids from people with a 5 or higher feedback rating. I recently tried to sell a car and the auction was won by a scammer in Russia, even though the auction clearly stated cash on collection only.....

12 - that's what I thought the cost would be until I noticed the "free this weekend" offer - DUH!

Scammers - Good point

People looking - originally posted in the Lotus forum - I'd be a little surprised if this is a dream car to anyone in there! Given that I'm selling due to buying a lotus

Just hoping for good useful feedback - which I'm getting - thanks all!

I think you'd get a better price for it, if it was MOT'd for 12 months.

10 days MOT left ....... begs the question what the hidden problems are that would prevent it passing the MOT - so I would guess that a lot of questions you will get will relate to that.

I'd say get it MOT'd, and will easily bump up the price and will be easier to sell.

You need more photographs - lots more.

You don't have to pay for them, just create a flikr account, upload them all, and then post the url's in your ebay description.
