Motoring forum idea - members cars for sale thread?

Col200sx

Was thinking about this, it happens on other forums I'm a member of and works well.

Basically if a member of the forum is selling their car, they can stick up the link in the thread.

That way one could learn a lot about the car or the person selling it if they were interested in it. (From the members posts, threads etc).

Thoughts mods and motoring forum members?

I think it's a good idea even though I probably wouldn't use it all that much myself. When the time comes for me to change my car I will definitely try to sell privately and this forum would be as good a place as any to throw it up for free. Donedeal won't be matched for sheer numbers looking. Carzone for the more expensive stuff. Adverts.ie for the time wasters!

It's a good idea in fairness, i'd include car related stuff in it too, parts, tools etc. You could limit it to people with a certain number of posts in the motors forums.

Might interfere with adverts though so probably a non-runner!

There are a number of threads for cars for sale and as long as people point out its their car its ok to post it. I see no need for a thread.

So if your car is not a luxobarge, is for sale for more than bangernomics money and is not a fixerupper, where do you post it up?

I'd never think to post my car for sale link in there. I only thought that was for cars for sale you spotted and not promoting yourself.

That's all good and well, unless you sell a member a car that gives them trouble and then they blame you....why didn't you tell me about this, you sold me a lemon etc...And we all have to listen to this as they bicker about it publicly on one of the threads!

As long as you say its your car then I think the mods are ok with you posting it. After that don't keep bumping it regularly.

Thats a bit random really.
I think a dedicated place for cars of known motors contributors to be shown for sale is a excellent idea.

I don't see how its random but I don't think there is a need for yet another thread. Just put a link to the ad in your sig and highlight it in one if the multiple for sale threads.

Oh course it's just my opinion.

So does anybody else have an opinion in this, or is that it?
