Cerbera 4.5

[Norgles]

Hi, I have posted an advert in the classifieds (not sure if I am allowed to post a link to it) and have had no interest in it over the 4 weeks it has been up. Have you guys got any good tips on what an advert should contain please? I have mentioned all the main work done over the last 5 years (new outriggers, rebuilt gearbox, new diff etc...)

Are people buying these cars at the moment?

Thanks in advance

I've got mine up for sale at the moment as I need the funds for a pending house move and I've had no interest so far either. Only consolation for me is I don't really want to sell so if the house move falls through I'll just keep mine.

I am advertising this on behalf of my Brother-in-law and he is in a similar position in that he wants to keep it but needs to sell!

I was looking for a really good 4.5 about 3 months ago but couldn't find one. Ended up with an S6 (another story!), but one thing that I asked everyone for was a few pictures underneath. If yours are good in that dept they will sell - just put a couple of pics up.

Thanks for the advice EnglishMan I will get some pictures and do that. I did also mention in the ad that my Brother-in-law has ramps and is happy for first hand inspection too.

Edit: I have just checked out your garage, that is amazing!

When I was up to buy one, for me it also would have been a good impression for an interesting car, when the seller would have had pictures of underneath posted in the advert. I found a very well one on another way, but upload detailed pictures of yours describing the chassis, and I am sure that it gives you a big advantage. It is important. And good cars always will be sold. Dont worry

The ad isn't very good... Pics are terrible and description unappealing. There is an identical one further down with great pics etc albeit 50% pricier...

I'd agree about the photos - there's nothing wrong with them per se, but giving the car a good polish and taking it out somewhere picturesque on a bright and cheery day will let you present the car a lot better in my opinion.

Everyone knows what the Cerb looks like but some photos are definately better than others. Under bonnet and under chassis shots can be very appealing if these areas are clean and tidy. It gives a visual impression that the car is well cared for with a lot of attention to detail.

Photos of the interior from several angles to show the condition of carpets and leather etc are well worth having too.

I'm afraid, harsh though he is, Gazzab is right.

I hate to say it but I think a lot of these cars are a little overpriced. Unless prices have risen in the last year.

i dont work in the motor trade but surely the time of year affects sales , as i had to buy mine when the weather got really hot and i felt like it was do or die.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I got several pictures of the chassis today. I will rework the advert with more detail and some new images. Fingers crossed!
