1991 BRG, 188k miles, 5 spd

The car is still for sale. I have had ZERO people even come look at the car? Anyways, the price is now down to $2600 if anyone is interested. Craigslist post is below. Thanks

Probably the worst time of year to sell a convertible. Well maybe January is worse but you get the idea. Might want to hang on to it until spring if you can and it should sell easier.

[MoonieGT]

Understood, but the car has been listed for 2 months now and not a single view? Anyway, it's not critical that I sell the car. I just want it to find a new home because it's just kind of hanging around...

I wish it would've been around when I was looking a few months ago, otherwise I would've picked it up. Good luck with the sale.

Honestly I think you have too much detail in your craigslist post.

Rule #1 of the internet, people don't read.

[MoonieGT]

That may be true. I was just trying to describe the car as best and as honest as I could.

[goofygrin]

Craigslist isn't for honest people either

I agree with Matt. Appropriate internet forum, yes to tons of pics and info. Craigslist, not so much. Give enough detail to get the reader's interest (price, year, mileage, general condition, needed items, "maintenance is up to date/not up to date"), and a few generic pics (or pics of anything special that will help sell the car - lambo doors, foot massager, etc).

As a bit of a psych experiment for one of my classes in NY, I posted 2 CL ads for a SuperJet I was selling: one was detailed down to practically a bolt count; the other was just very basic info. You would think I'd get more serious responses to the detailed ad, but it was the complete opposite. A good 90% of the emails I received had the heading from the ad with very little info.

I've got someone coming to see the car this week. If that doesn't pan out then I'll chop my ad down to read:

Green car for sale.

:)

where'd you get this car? it looks very much like my buddies old car...mostly the passenger side dent and hd roll bar

[MoonieGT]

I added the roll bar after I bought the car. It was bone stock when I got it except for the Sony MP3 CD player.

Sold! Lock it up :)
