Just as title says realy. Selling up all my motors as i now stay 15 minutes from my work and no longer need one!
Cars to me are now a leisure thing more than anything and there just too bloody expensive to justify.

spelling is awful in places
lickage?? really?? i suspect linkage
bairing?? you mean bearing
your two photos tell the buyer nothing.
one is too far away, the other is ruined by glare
get some more photos done, decent light not early morning/late evening when the sun is low. get an interior shot, some people enjoy looking at the engine so take that photo
photos of the modifications you have made, or a photos with the receipts all laid out
you may wish to explain why you're selling it.
overall it sounds good, solid car for a good price which seems to have been looked at, just missing the factors that actually sell the car as something special!

Thats priced at double its worth, I know you aren't asking for opinions on your price but no one is going to buy it for that when you can get a newer vti with less miles for a grand.

Might be the case further down south as theres more competition. If you do a genral search on cars in the NE of Scotland you tend to pay slightly more. Corsas up here are never really less than a grand. Tend to be advertised at £1500 for an o..k spec.

Better photos for a start, more of them, When i opened it up, all i saw was the first few lines, no info, and price. Had i not scrolled, wouldn't have seen all the spiel. Need to re-arrange advert.

A friend of mine is interested so seems as though this has just been a waste of time. Says he wants a family car for the expected kid..... Coilovers will certainly knock it too sleep!

I'd say it was quite pricey, photos are terrible and fairly sure they're not BBS wheels.

People saying it's priced to high. If you search Honda Civic within a 100 mile radius of AB25 there is nothing really cheaper than £1000 and the majority of them have 140,000+ miles. So for a solid run about with a few little goodies i don't think it's that bad.
