How "Not to sell" your car pics

sxt · 2020-01-02 17:08:21

Why would someone take a pic like this to try and sell a car? It would have taken all of 15 seconds to remove the rubbish . I just can't fathom it?

I'd actually be glad to see a photo like that. It would save me wasting time ringing them and arranging a viewing.

That’s the way the speaker grilles are designed. (Unless I’m going mad)

Are they aftermarket?

Ive never seen car speakers not come with covers. either oem or aftermarket. Whether people choose to put them on when fitting aftermarket is another thing. The cones would get kicked in within days and theyd be useless. In the car above theyd probably get damaged by an empty can being thrown in to the back.

I can only imagine how often it's serviced.

Is that a toilet roll insert on the back drivers seat, who knows what the goings on in the car were.

The covers on the speakers are shaped like a speaker themselves.

This is one up close, ignore the fake carbon fibre ring thing, that’s aftermarket:

Unless I’m losing it and the grille is actually missing

There’s nothing wrong with those pictures. And it’s an expensive Lexus hybrid being sold by a main dealer. Pick up the phone and call if you want a price.

I never will, whether it's the price of a kilo of sugar in my local shop of a 4 bed in Marbella, not being told the price at the outset places you as a fool.

All the details should be posted including price.
No matter what the car was or its condition, if the info I want isn't there I would just move on to the next.

I find this is the same with sites for plumbers etc. If it's not clear consider and done properly I'm not interested enough to bother taking it further.
The way some people are you'd think they hadn't a bloody clue.

Well the poor effort with carbon fiber vinyl around the radio would indicate the owner couldn't be bothered. Seems to be only around the stereo and nowhere else AND they didn't even bother to take the panels off but just stuck on the vinyl in situ as evidenced by the fact you can see the underneath wood around the edges of the vents.
