Hi all,

Struggling to sell my old car and was wondering if anyone would mind taking a quick look at the ad to see if anything stands out as to why its not selling.

EBay item number221799834204

Thanks

    1. A lot of people don't like or want LPG its had its day.
    2. It needs a wash!

    Is the air filter standard?. If its needed as part of the conversion mention this otherwise it looks like a go faster add on which would put me off.

    Take the bit about the £100 deposit off...

    No spare wheel and no space to put one without losing boot space.

    2 Door also restricts the number of buyers.

    No shortage of them and several on autotrader without the LPG for similar money and from dealers. So maybe overpriced?

    The pic of dashboard shows warning lights. These may just be the standard ones upon start up which then go out once system is checked but how would buyer know?

    it needs a wash. in fact probably a light valet. it looks tired.

    3 door probably limits your customers

    Price wise its "ok", not sure why its not selling really. Maybe £2495 it and stick it on autotrader too.

    New tyres will last 15,000 miles? Depends on how they're treated.
