A well written ad with good quality photos really sell a car, so it’s important to be as descriptive as possible and get some good shots of your car looking its best. But when it comes to putting together an ad, some sellers can get more creative than others…how about creating a mini feature film - the car being the star of the show of course.!
Well that’s exactly what one seller on Auto Trader has done. It’s not just any car, it’s a 1985 Porsche 911 and the seller says: “I am reluctant to sell my beautiful Porsche 911 Supersport Targa as I no longer have the time or energy to cope with the pressures of being in the public eye of admirers, gorgeous women constantly falling at my feet, always having to arrive in style to decadent fetish parties, long drives to classic motor shows and trying to find a parking space at Les Trois Garcons’. I’m now looking for the right candidate to hand down this hedonist roof down boxer engined lifestyle so that I may retire and have a long break in Nepal.”
It’s a tough life but someone’s got to do it. Check out the equally tongue-in-cheek video, promoting the Porsche’s wares, entitled, “Get a life. Buy my Porsche!” Brilliant!
Selling a car privately can be a daunting process, but it can be well worth the effort and there are plenty of tips on how to sell a car on the Auto Trader website.

Dear Auto Trader users,
I was looking to buy a Hybrid car and came across an advert some one selling a Toyota Prius 2008 for £4000. I was a but suspicious at first but replied to the advertiser on the web site on the advert. He said he cannot take any calls now. I got a reply and to cut the long story short; he said he is in Spain due to loosing his job and his car is crated to be shipped to a buyer in the UK. He also have 2008 Audi Estate car for the same price and I replied to this advert with a different name and my other email. Surprisingly enough I receive the same reply to this one also from the same guy. Did anyone else have the same experience?

Hi Robert,
Fraudulent adverts are placed by thieves posing as sellers, often involving a hoax vehicle at a bargain price, a faulty phone number and demands to transfer money abroad. You shoudl be cautious if 1) A vehicle is much cheaper than its market value 2) If a seller cannot give you a landline telephone number 3) If the advert or subsequent emails are full of spelling mistakes and poor grammar.
