Buyers perspective?

I'm new to the forum and i was just wondering ive been looking at a few sites selling glanzas and most of the ad's seem to have the smallest amount of detail when it comes to the car the persons trying to sell. I mean if you were really trying to sell your car youd write down all the details and do your best to sell your car, most ad's dont state mileage, service history, manual/auto, mods its generally just a couple of words and pics :confused:
Anyone else find this to be the way of things?
would you bother ringing up about an ad that tells you very little?

Also would you buy one that doesn't have history or previous MOT's?, alot seem to be this way which means nothing to back mileage claims or that its been serviced at all
Sorry for the Noob rant lol :)

I'm ALWAYS nosey'n on there just to see what comes up and to be honest I haven't seen anything decent in good while. May be worth checkin out cars in England

And unfortunately gumtree has became somewhere to just flog stuff, so no need for good descriptions, as annoyibg as it is for the buyer, the seller will 9/10 still get it up the road...

You'll probably find a lot of imports seems to have their history "misplaced", unless you buy from a true enthusiast which keeps reciepts, work carried out, which garage/tuner, dates etc.

There are some good sales ads on here to look at :)

yeh your right very hard to get history from japan (if we can read it lol) but id like to hope since its been imported people would keep old MOTS adn service history so people know they've been looked after :)
Yeh there are some good for sale ads here im still not really looking to buy until december so most of winters past and i have a wee project for the new year but i might put a wanted ad up and see what comes my way in a week or two :)

I'm not disrespecting southern Ireland, but any Glanza I went to view; and I viewed about 4 Glanza's down south before I got fed up! Haha... We're scrap, I know there's enthusiasts on this forum from Ireland who do look after their own cars! But it was actually strange the difference from southern cars to northern! Mad, eventually I touched for a previous forum car which is absolutely mint so I'm happy..

Also, consider wanted ads on Gumtree, a lot Of people don't want to post their cars on Gumtree as the majority are just time wasters lol!

There seems to be alot it doesn't really matter what side of the border your on gumtrees full of crap ad's sorry if someone on here has an ad on gumtree and its crap lol, i will be keeping an eye on here at the ads if anything in my range comes on and i put a wanted ad on gumtree before and it worked well so i probably will again in the next wee while hopefully source some decent ones :)

Doesn't matter if the ads crap, if it is shit and not well described its not worth wasting your time on. The sellers own fault really if they actually want to sell the car.

if a seller cant be arsed to detail the car then i wont waste my time contacting them. It will more than likely be a shitter anyway.

How hard is it to spend 20mins writing a proper advert?!
