Selling my car (not giving details) and would appreciate advice on wording. This is what I have come up with so far. First time selling online and other adverts have proved useful. All pictures are done following recent threads relating to selling.

"British Racing Green, Cream Leather, Black/Wood Trim, Heated Glass Rear Window Sony CD Player with iPod Connection. MOT 06/12, Tax 31/12/12.

I bought this car in June last year and have used it for the 22 mile round trip commute. Part service history and all receipts for work done since I have owned the car. There are a few scratches and chips and a scuff on the rear bumper. The CV joint cover needs to be replaced but apart from that it is in good condition. No rust or leaks, the roof is in good working order with a complete tonneau cover for when the roof is stowed.

Please, no time wasters or canvasers."

I have steered clear of personal opinion and included negative points as well as positive. Is there anything else I should put in?

Not giving those details as I dont want this topic erased!

I should add that it pulls like a train, is bombproof and is a dream to drive!

I'd get the CV joint gaiter (?) replaced. Shouldn't cost much and it removes one bargaining point for a buyer. Makes the car seem a little more cared for too.
True, I am a lazy tramp and really should get it done

I don't like the term "time waster". It implies if you go and look but don't buy, you've wasted their time. What about genuinely interested buyers welcome?

Also photos from low down on the rear quarter of the vehicle work well.
Good point, never considered that. Was more worried about the horror stories from fellow posters about said time wasters
