740 GL Estate- 1988

Ed Killick · Nov 2nd, 2008, 18:21

2 owners-me for 17 years ! maintained by myself.

No intention to sell, but a chance too good to miss came my way.

I had intended to keep indefinitely, as it has been an amazing car.

Open to offers.

Photos, spec and an idea of price would be good!

Why oh why do people do that?

All they write is, effectively, 'Please buy my car.'

As if we are all mind readers.

Unfortunately, that immediately puts the seller in the position of looking like one of those '... oh I forgot to tell you about ...' style sellers if and when they actually have someone turn up to view the car.

Just a suggestion but how about letting us in on the following secrets:

The asking price you want to achieve
Date to expiry of Mot
Month RFL runs out
Auto or manual
Estate or saloon
Engine size and if turbo
Petrol or diesel
What's especially good about your car
Plus what's known to be wrong with said vehicle

Don't tell us you don't know these points.

Thanks - there really are buyers here but don't waste anyone else's time.
