The faux/ semi trader style ad is off putting for some. Couple that with the hassle of sorting VRT and NCT and the mechanics of the transaction for what is an obscure and unpopular model at the best of times. Bit of a gash on the passenger rear quarter too.

I'm not saying it won't sell but you may be sitting tight a while, there's plenty of city cars out there for €3k that are jump in and drive and people which is all that most people in that price bracket want.

Put your money where your mouth Is, VRT it and NCT it and advertise it on Irish plates with a valid test and you'll have a better stab IMO.

How does it have an NCT if it's on NI plates?

Tbh reading things like rear wiper and drivers airbag as part of its spec is off putting.
Why not include brake discs and windscreen as well into the mix?
Give the UK reg so people know it's previous history and I'd mention the cost of the vrt

VRT it and you might have a chance, most people won't be bothered the hassle of having to VRT on a classified ad, could run in to hassle proving how long it was in the country etc.

Lovely looking car looks like new. Id say its a little expensive do 2500 euros would be more like it. Be a great first car for someone.

Yeah. But it's currently taxed in North till Jan so that won't matter , have a dated receipt of purchase etc.
Have a full cartell report printed with it too .
Really is a genuine car , one owner , full service etc .

If you have a receipt of purchase does that mean that it has 2 owners not 1? It's tax status in the North doesn't matter to a person buying in the South.

For a car like that people will want to drive away not wait for you to VRT it and how will you handle it failing the NCT for an expensive issue? VRT and NCT it before sale as there are plenty of small cheap cars with tax and NCT available for that price.

You can never have too many pictures of a car for sale!

The current pics are nice and clear, but if I was a buyer I’d like to see more shots of the interior (there are only two) and maybe some shots of the open boot and bonnet.

If the car has been VRT'd and NCT'd then take the NI plates off the car and put the irish plates on it and show a picture of the NCT disc and then remove the line about VRT being included.

People don't want the hassle of having to VRT and then NCT a car so broaden your chances of a sale by removing the need of buyers having to do so...or thinking that they will have to.
