oops, red face moment :D

thanks for the heads up, i'll edit the post

Pictures of underneath and engine bay tell a story. Most sellers don't do those.

Also invoices, hours spent etc..

Whatever the 'project' is that you have in mind - it sounds as if there is more to it than simply selling your own car - there's a simple principle to keep to in anything you write or put online:

THINK OF THE READER.

Who is going to look at what you write? What do they want from it? And as Rob so rightly implies, you need them to want your product / service more than someone else's.

Interesting. A big pile of invoices suggests a complete lemon, the only question being how large and how frequently the pile will be added to.

All I want is to be re-assured that the car has been serviced regularly and apropriately. A test drive is far more important an indicator of condition than a catalogue of things which needed fixing in the past.

The last time I sold a car privately, I advertised it as being in good condition, full service history with paperwork as proof.

When the buyer arrived, everything was ready for him to peruse before he drove the car, including all the paperwork and the spare key. He was happy and wrote to me afterwards saying how pleased he was that I had made it easy for him.
