    Carzone is probably best. You can also use www.buyandsell.ie and local papers.
    Post the link and we can give feedback on your ad.

    Hi,

    First off, its a crewcab - not a jeep.
    There is no interior shots - you need those.
    A shot of the cargo bed in the back would be good too, to prove it hasn't been a builders crewcab - or has it?
    Has the timing belt been done - its doesn't say - this can put people off.
    The price seems ok, but you say 12k, why not €11955 keeping it in the 11's.
    a line about 5 seats and commercial tax would be good too for the ediots out there.

    TBH tho', there are stacks off crewbabs and jeeps for sale out there........you'll just have to ride it out and see.

    As said above, interior shots. Service history?
    Adding "must sell" makes me think "I'll just wait for him to drop the price and then I'll swoop in".
    There are a lot of petrol guzzling SUVs out there, selling for the same reasons as yourself. It could take ages to move this truck. Is this the 3.0 litre Turbo diesel? What's the MPG?

    Btw, excellent, not "exccellent".

    TBH, the pictures don're really show off the car. Were they taken on a dull wet evening with a mobile phone?

    Take new photo's on a sunny day with a reasonable camera

    This will get this jeep sold -

    Farmers love their crewcabs - and she looks like a good honest decent one. Get a sign made up - FOR SALE, NEW DOE, NEW SERVICE, €9995 AND YOUR MOBILE NO).
    park her up in a good visible spot at the next big LIVESTOCK MART locally.
    She'll get some interest there...........as she's getting none parked at the back of the house.

    Your ad needs better photos and be prepared to drop your price a little.

    You will reach a much wider audience with the Autotrader.

    Stick an ad in the farmers journal or your local newspaper.

    Farmers & Builders (and I don't mean this disrespectfully) generally don't use the internet much. And they are your target audience.

    Regarding phildub Focus; there are on carzone 662 number 2006 forsale and 673 2005 focus. the cheapest 05 new model is asking 8950(high miles) but this is what your up against. ther's also 484 focus 2007 with one @16000 asking with 18k miles. So theres roughly 1800 like yours available. Supply and demand = radical price to make yours stand out.

    If you parked all the 07,06,and 05 focus together nose to tail bumper to bumper There's 8.1 kilometers of them for sale on carzone. (4.5meters x 1800 /1000) Could be worse if you had a laguna.
