Whoa - I ran out of breath just trying to read this! You might want to have a look on eBay for a mixed bag of capital letters, grammar and punctuation marks.

Apologies if that sounds harsh, but if you really want to sell your car, I suggest that you spend a bit more time on writing your ad (and even typing it on a mobile phone is no excuse for laziness in my book).

You'll also find that pictures are always helpful to prospective buyers, but of course it's not my car, so I'll get off my high horse now.

I was only trying (admittedly in a sarcastic manner) to point out that he would have a much better chance of selling his car if he had spent a little more time thinking about it.

For example, the wording "only place i got it from told my the lady owner parked it with hood down" makes no sense whatsoever and frankly the wording of the advert alone would put me off.

I can live with "c u down the pub m8" language when texting friends, but if it was my car I was trying to sell on a public forum, I would have made a bit more effort (for the few extra minutes that it would have taken) to provide a coherent description with useful information for prospective buyers. Would you be inclined to buy it based on the advert wording alone?

Good luck with the sale in any case!

1.9cc? Is that the desktop version?

1900cc (or 1895cc to be precise) or 1.9 litres and if it is a 1998 UK car, then it will be the 16-valve 140 bhp engine.

Cheers R.
