Motoring forum idea - members cars for sale thread?

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,728 ✭✭✭Col200sx


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