No Prob benobi65 :D

As you are on the topic of selling - I would also suggest adding the actual Mileage as opposed to just saying ".Low mileage". Thats a selling point for some. If its very low, then even better. Maybe even take a picture of the mileage panel with the miles clearly visible?

A general note about pictures you see on pages like your self. A tip - its worth its weight in gold to take pictures in full sun and in a setting like a woods or a beach if you could. Think Car Mag pics, the backdrops are as important as the car :D

When you take the pics and IF you have an image editing app, bring up the brightness if needed, but also the contrast definitely - It brings out the colours in the picture and gets rid of washed out appearance. Again, another selling mind game :D

:D

Works though. Look at the effort garages go to - main dealers particularly. Polished, shined, lacquered tyres ..

Oh and do not forget the angle shots, those shots making the car look longer and the like :D

Hey ... one is selling, so eye candy is where its at, first impressions ...

Ben, thats a bad idea because if you make it look better someone else might buy the car before I get a chance to :cry:
