Thumbs down How to sell on ebay-Not like this!

This has to be the worst effort of a car listing I've ever seen!

here

The title and one meagre sentence - And they contradict each other!

lmao!

I cannot believe why anyone would ever advertise a car on ebay and not put photos with a detailed description, you need to put yourself out a little if you want to make a sale.

Don't knock it, that's how you get bargains, I am watching somethign listed in compltley the wrong category, it's had hardly any views, and way under priced. All the other products of the same, listed properly are going for much more!

I know you're kidding but it's the straight-to-the-pointness that made me laugh cos it's not even right

The XR4i was a 2.8 V6 not a 2 litre so either the title or the single sentence is wrong anyhow..

This ones pretty bad - the title hardly makes it tempting to bid on.... then the "interrior" is described as 'as new' when looking at the pic of the interior you can clearly see a big stain on the drivers seat!

From 1990 onwards xr4i and some xr4x4's were 2 litres They had the ford twin cam 8 valve engine I'm afraid he's right

I think its brilliant. Tells me everything I'd need to know if I was in the market for a sierra. 1. It has a reasonable enough engine. 2. It powers the rear wheels so I can bang the back end out on every corner. That's all I want to know

i have now come to a conclusion if i ever sell my car on ebay, i know some people are not getting the asking price.
but you could try this

cursed wrx.

since i owned this car it has been a curse to me.
i believe it could well be possessed.
since i owned it, somehow the car plays games with my mind,
it made me spend untold amount of money on the mods.
it has cursed me so much it had made me speed very often,
it had got me in a lot of trouble with the police.
it had got me a totting up of 12 points since i owned it an got me banned. (my other cars never did this to me,
it had made me the target of thefts, (no other car i owned had that happend)
it had attracted alot of attention to baseball cap wearing youths (chavs to some of you) it seems like the car is calling these people over
no reserve from 10k

Many apologies. I never even looked at the year, and if I had, I didn't know that anyway! I thought they went from the 2.8i driving the rear wheels to a 2.9i driving all 4 in the XR4x4..

And I thought I knew my Fords

Still a **** ad IMO
