    Greenlight not verified

    The tax will put a lot of people off so it’s not sought after unless they need 4wd.
    I think it needs to be €3950-no offers rather than €4250

    Emphasise that you bought the car new and it has had timing belt etc if relevant.

    Oh yeah, take ‘tax just out’ and reference to marks on body out of the ad.

    Take better photos with a better background and not when it's dull and raining.

    Someone buying a car in this sort of price range is very unlikely to buy something with 165K miles on it. Its likely to need money spent on it regularly to keep it going and then the tax at 750 per year is the nail in the coffin.
    If you want to get rid of it, id say you will have to reduce the price significantly to entice someone to take a punt on it.

    Meh. It’s still a vw and a crossover, it’s not worthless by any means.

    The location "industrial estate- esque" and the paper mats on the floor scream (potential) dodgy dealer trying to offload car as private sale to avoid comback - loose the mats and take better pictures in a more neutral location.

    Thanks folks.
    I’ve amended the ad and retaken the photos
    The green light verification is done

    I’ve dropped the price to €3950

    Personally no, but i can see why people would discount a car on the basis it wasn't.

    Photos are still very poor plus straighten the steering wheel.

    Auto form on ad says 0 previous owners?
    It’s not an import by the reg? I assumed you were first owner but I can see change of ownership in 2016.

    Yea I didn’t fill in the owners that just came up.

    Thanks for all the advice. 👍
