Here’s my ad - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4208213.htm

Had a guy from the local TVR club look at it (he's had seven!) - he said it was the best he's seen in years.

The car's in North Shields and it seems folk don't want to travel far for viewings.

She needs to go as I’ve got too many cars. So I need to lower the price in the ad.

When I try to change just the price (from GBP 9250 to 8250), it always says "Please do not use html code, email addresses, swear words or web page links" under the main description box - even after I've removed anything which even looks like a web or email address.

That am I doing wrong...?

He wasn't called Alan was he?

I would try a different browser, if not put a query in website feedback and let a mod sort it.

That looks bloody lovely! if i wasn't such an impoverished student i'd have that off you in a heartbeat.

Just out of interest how much of a performance difference is there between the 4.0 and the 4.5?

Thanks! Never driven a 400, but I'm told there is an appreciable difference - one worth the price premium at least.

Thanks - just need to change the price from GBP 9,250 to GBP 8,250 - both in the headline and text (at the end).

Sorted.

It was the "gun" in Gunmetal that was the issue.

Thanks. Can you change the price in the ad as well (in the text, at the end)?

Can you do the same with this version? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4208213.htm

New style ads - just wants me to sign-up to an all new ad - no, just want to change the price in the ad text.

Old style ads - http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/4208213.htm - can't work out how to open this: just wants to go to the new style ads...

You can sign into the "new style" using the same details, Ie your forum user name and classifieds password. And then you can edit your ads the same as the old?

Happy to pay asking price for mine (too cheap?) - now decided he doesn't want a Chimaera after all...
