Car selling - spam enquiries?

[Skyedriver]

I've a car for sale on a well known "Classic" car site as well as PH.
I'm getting few enquiries over the last couple of weeks worded like this or similar:

Hello, https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C********* Hi could you please provide further photos/video of vehicles, particularly areas of any concern, and documentation. Regards ************ @gmail.com

I've sent additional photos and descriptions to the first couple but beginning to wonder if it's just spamming as I've not received any further contact. I'd have hoped for some sort of response either positive or negative.

Anyone else had similar?

thanks Chris,
The big problem I have with selling is my location, I'm not exactly central to anywhere except the west coast of Scotland!
I have said in my write up that photos are available so in part it's my own fault but when you're 70 mile north of Glasgow there's many who won't bother travelling on the off chance it's any good. (It is BTW)

I've included all the pictures I'm allowed within the adverts constraints, ie 12, the additional photos offered were mainly close ups.
It's not a "current model" like a Yaris, rather a TVR from the 1980's so a little rarer. (There are 4 on C&C and 6 on PH)

Thank you again.
I don't believe it's overpriced if it were located maybe southern England, or the Midlands or even Scotland Central Belt. Maybe a lower price would tempt people to travel. So far I've only used the free options of C&C and PH. I will look at AT but think I'll delay now until the current covid panic has receded.
TBH, on the odd occasion I've been after a car I've rarely looked at AT, maybe I should.

Here's a good one. It follows a "Is this still available", I replied "Yes". I've redacted his name, not sure I shouldn't shout it from the roof tops


Thank you for your email. My name is (redacted) and I serve in the U.K Royal Air Force. FYI, I'm purchasing the vehicle for my brother as a special birthday gift but he isn't aware of me doing this because I am making it a surprise for him. So can you assure me I won't be disappointed buying it from you? Also, I do have a few questions I would love to ask.

What's the condition, any damages?
Are you the original owner and why are you selling it?
Does it have any mechanical issues or faults?
Do you have the title in hand?
Is there a lien on the title? (If yes) how much are you owing if I may ask?
Do you have an account set up with PayPal?
Do you have any offers yet?
Is there any additional information I need to know about it?

P.S. I have a carrier agent that will come for the pick up after the payment is completely confirmed.


Hope to hear from you soon.
