Replying to: lemmer (Feb 25, 2009 11:33 am) But in an advert, I find it's better to first get them interested in the car--once they are interested, they are far more tolerant. You have to "get them in the game" and then you can dance with them. (mixed metaphor)

Replying to: lemmer (Feb 25, 2009 11:33 am) A few years back, I tried to sell my Chevy plain-jane SWB work truck. Very little interest. When I expressed my frustration to Terry (RRoyce10 of blessed memory) he told me, don't list "short wheel base" in the ad. Don't list anything, in fact, that will turn a buyer off. "If they ask, it's a short wheel base. If they don't ask, never mind." And I thought I'd been helpful with a detailed ad... Sure enough, the gentleman I sold the truck to a week later said, he didn't really want a shorty, but now that he'd seen it, and with the condition and the price, he figured he'd better take it. Funny business, used cars. -Mathias

The Holy Grail of 2002s. I'd love to have this car but not at the price he's asking. He's asking 2005 prices for #2 car, and it's 2009 and a #3. Please adjust accordingly. http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/1044681143.html

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 25, 2009 6:22 pm) The sedan looks pretty decent...most of those I see around here are beat to hell. |
