PH Classified lost their sparkle?

[foliedouce]

Just wondering what response people are getting from PH ads recently. Over the last 10 years I've sold 2 TVRs (2005 & 2007)and a Ducati (2011) within a week of putting them on PH classifieds.

My experience was that you got sensible, real buyers rather than tyre kickers hence advertising my RR on their recently.

I put my FFRR on a few weeks ago at a very keen price (£3.5k less than the next cheapest on Autotrader) and didn't get 1 call. After 2 weeks of nothing, I paid for an Ad on Autotrader and got 5 calls within a week (1 within 30 mins of the ad going live!), 2 viewings and sold the car today.

Is this typical or is it just that I'm selling an old Rangie which is not PH fodder? Keen to understand other experiences now that Haymarket are apparently pushing the site down a classified route hence I'd expect the response to be getting better, not worse.

PS I did get a free PH sticker sent to me though, Bonza.

It probably depends on the type of car, I tried to sell a diesel BMW on here and didn't get much response, it sold within a week on AT though.

If I was selling my Evo I reckon it'd sell much better on PH than AT.

Fair point - my TVRs make sense, I was very surprised to sell my Ducati on here but I did think I'd have better luck on a FFRR

What is an FFRR?

Sorry - Full Fat Range Rover, as in not an Evoque or Range Rover Sport, but the 'proper' one (ducks for cover)
