    The market has spoken. Half the price.

    I know it could do with pics of the inside- I will hoover it out and get them up, ..any other advice? Am I doing something wrong!

    You just answered your own question, no effort in the ad will get you little response. If it is not hoovered and someone wanted to see it in an hours time they would be disappointed.

    I wouldn't advise having the price, just by this post you are sure to get a few more views. You could drop price a bit to get more views as people search under price bands i.e. 2000-2500 or 2500-3000 etc. I found when selling my car that it takes about 100 views online before you get one call..

    Yeah cheers. I don't think the price is an issue- It's priced better that other sirions, and v low miles. I guess I'll just give it a more time. Thanks

    Yes leave price as is. The car is not a common model so internal photos are a must, get the dashboard, speedo, photos of extras like electric windows, the engine, the boot, people more likely to consider the car if they see it fully.

    I'd take better photos with a nicer background than a lane way of a commercial unit. It gives me the impression it's being sold by a wheeler dealer or jack the lad type character.

    Also as it's a less established brand it will take longer to find the right buyer no matter what the price.

    Would it be worth taxing it for 3 months? Might sell quicker.

    I really doubt that would help. You may as well reduce the price by the value of 3 months tax

    Take out the Yaris part, it only takes away from the add.

    Only 100 euro though unless it's in arrears. Not much when a cars in that price range. I was told people like a bit of tax as it saves them the hassle of having to go and tax it straight away.

    It doesn't seem too bad, maybe more than I'd be willing to pay for the car for our use, definitely I'd remove the yaris information at least out of the title, its not a yaris, you could mention that in the advert information possibly, maybe even a link to that information or specs?

    Have it in the title so my add appears in search results for people who search for a yaris...it's how I actually found this car, was searching for a yaris and this came up ..did a bit of research and found that Toyota own daihatsu, and this was basically a yaris but cheaper ..

    It's the kind of thing that annoys people!e I think,if someone is looking for a yaris then you've duped them and it can be annoying and off putting as it gives the appearance of someone that will hide issues, but that's just me, if I was searching for a car I'd narrow it down on type and engine size unless I was specifically looking for a particular vehicle type.
    That said its tedious when i have been searching for cars or even perusing whats for sale and someone puts in their advert every car under the sun in the hope of catching a wider audience.
