I don't know why people selling things get such a hard time here? I don't go into a shop and start heckling the shopkeeper, lol!

Perhaps it would be a good idea to take time out and actually decide WHICH car you are gonna sell...if any..or all...before you take the plinge...sorry..plunge, again..!!
Indecision costs people time.!...including you.

Default I am cockahoop to be the catalyst for a little banter

To think about events realistically, in terms of multiple causations, is hard and emotionally unrewarding. How much easier, how much more agreeable to trace each effect to a single and, if possible, a personal cause! To the illusion of understanding will be joined, in this case, the pleasure of hero worship, if the circumstances are favorable, and the equal, or even greater pleasure, if they are unfavorable, of persecuting a scapegoat.

Actually no, Shifter. The members who spend a LOT of time on here and read most of the threads particular to them want quick, no-nonsense information about a car that's for sale, and as has been specified before and many times, description, photo's, price! Nobody has a problem with a seller withdrawing the car. Just notify a mod. and get the thread shut down. Didn't happen here probably due to the lack of knowledge of the seller. If you want to sell again, put up a new ad!
Not a big deal if the rules are applied. Nobody minds if there's related woffle on the thread...but we do mind when somebody tries to be just a little superior and, as a junior, it might be a good idea to show a little respect sometimes. It's crass but not clever...though some think so!
Back to the car please and let's hope it sells.
