Anna Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have just put an offer down on a house, and unfortunately this means the 350Z has to go. I have put it up on pistonheads, but would really appreciate some honest advice on selling her. Have I got the price ok? Have I put enough in the description, where else shall I advertise? http://www.pistonheads.com/SALES/1371446.htm Please be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 looks OK, price looks about right to me. You haven't mentioned service history other than the last one? I would put the tax, MOT mileage details first in the ad, its what I would be most interested in... also the picture with the bloke fiddling (cleaning?) the wing mirror is a bit off putting, particularly as you have another better picture of the car from virtually the same angle. I didn't feel the comparison to the import was particularly useful, the features you listed yes, but the comparison to JDM no... All in my opinion of course! Good luck with the sale! Azure is by far the best colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was unsure about the price, it was up for slightly more, but I lowered it to encourage the sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Mmm, i was thinking the same thing - missing out for not spamming your own welcome post..... Good luck with the sale Anna, its a nice car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zedwagon Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 keep it to facts and figures only rather than opinion and i agree there is no need to put anything about imports, it just sounds very defensive also, you say the car is standard but then say about exhaust etc... if i was looking i would discount the car from the start because of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 i agree with Lucy - just list the positives about your car including the exhaust (but then you can't say its a standard car). Leave out the import comparisons as its not strictly correct anyway. Leave out the description of the exhaust as it sounds a bit boy racerish. I also would only draw attention to positives and not negatives. The bit about tiny nick and door card leave out - they are gonna view the car and can spot that for themselves - its not an ebay auction so no need to mention unless asked.

I hardly class a subtle exhaust and upgraded air filter as a modification though, but I have changed it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have altered the exhaust bit and looking at re- wording the negatives, I was trying to be as honest as possible? Thanks you the advice though guys!! Keep it coming!

nixy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 i know what you mean about being honest but sometimes the tidgy little negatives put people off viewing and if they view then spot a tiny flaw you've got their attention already. Best of luck - i'm sure it will go in that colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 looks better but still no mention of service history? Is that becuase you only have history of the last service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmbcar33 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Best of luck with the sale Everyone seems to be selling their Z at the moment - I think the £405 per year for road tax on top of the fuel bill makes them pretty expensive to keep unfortunately.
