Gonna be advertising my car over the next day or two and wanna make the ad look as good as possible. I've got some decent interior exterior pics. Can anyone link me to what they consider to be a good ad so I can steal their good ideas?

If this guy can get a bid within hours of listing then maybe I won't bother....

hilarious, i had to read it at least a few times to understand it.

Although - it is ebay so the bid is probably from a mate smile

This one is a fairly well written private ad:

I will concede there is some clumsy sentence structure in places, but overall, not bad.

All I could work out is that the car is his princess (the engine is no king).

That was lucky how the bidder found that M3 to bid on within 4 minutes of the ad being placed.

Shame the bid was less than the reserve.

Shill bidding as well?

Ba***rd! furious Maybe I could meet some minger who'd dress in PVC and drape herself over it for one of those 'use the missus to sell the car' ads! laugh
