Go on then.

Just don't keep bouncing it to the top if everyone ignores it

Car looks good Surj.

I think you should list the interior colour though.

A mate of mine is looking for a 993, but definitely doesnt want grey seats.

at least include a link to it

amateurs

sorry - took some grief for posting a link to where mine is (not currently) being sold - but have resolved to keep if it does not sell so happy either way

looks v. nice - particularly on the 18s - does it ride better on the cups?

A993lad - it does say "993 C2S Arctic Silver (classic Grey int)" - do you think I should make that more prominent? I hadn't thought that grey would put anyone off...

I've also added some pics of the the interior - not approved yet I guess.

As for the ride - actually rides better on the 18s - more planted.

Sorry surj,

Never noticed the int reference.

Must be my old age and failing eyesight etc. But if my eyesight is going, should I really be taking to the road in my High Performance Car?

Probably not. So just as well that I have just bought a Citroen Berlingo Multispace off my old man as my station commutemobile.

Woe is me. My life is at an end.

Have just been searching e-bay for a bumper sticker for the Porsche saying "my other car is a Berlingo".

I appreciate this is a bit "off thread", but at least it keeps your ad at the top of the list.

Errr, there's a sticky at the top of the forum, but there's a grey area (that has already been heavily discussed) when it comes to pointing out classified ads.

Basically - be subtle and you can nod towards a classified ad. Do say 'see the classifieds', but don't include contact info in the forum post, and absolutely do not include 'for sale' in the header.

Other acceptable forms of creating interest by bending rather than breaking rules are:

'Thinking of selling/changing my car'

'What's it worth?'

'Know anyone after a 993?'

etc.

Bend the rules - don't break them
