Advice to help sell? Mk 6 Golf GTI

[Mannystk]

Hey,

I have a golf mk 6 gti which I bought last year and earlier in the year I got a new job with a company car so I don't want to keep the gti as it's not really needed.

Dont get me wrong, love the car but no point me having 2 cars.

I've had it on sale on autotrader for around 3 months and to be honest it was just a waste of time - No phone calls or anything.

I am only the 2nd owner, it's a 60 plate, carbon grey, beautiful car no scratches, dents or issues - Full vw service history with a recent service and inspection detailing no faults - Advertised on autotrader with price similar to those around, even abit cheaper than some of the others.

Is the market just crappy right now to sell these types of cars?

Can't find it on Trader.

Can you link me? Will take a look and see if I can see anything amiss.

I took it off AT - Couldn't justify spending another £50 after spending £160 with 0 phone calls lol

It is now on ebay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/112179376932?

I'm sure you mean well but I wouldn't buy a car from someone who's put a HID kit in reflector headlight housings and claims it provides an "OEM Xenon look". It really doesn't.

HID's get a really bad rating because 90% of people who put HID's in a reflector headlight dont use the correct bulbs and cause stupid glare

With the right kit, bulb and colour - They do look similar to Oem Xenons.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for your advice above - The MOT does expire this week but it was booked in for tomorrow therefore I advertised it for next year as I would have had it completed before the sale.

Spoken to VW and they have confirmed it was fitted with the revised tensioner so i have added that also.

In regards to the photo's, I will give it a nice clean this week and try get some pictures taken in a less busy area.
