Default Anyone to critique my 98 convertible listing?

Since most of you know more about these cars than I do, let me know if I made any errors in the listing, either factual or grammatical. It’s at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT It took a hell of a long time to prepare and compose it so any comments or suggestions are welcome.

looks nice and clean but dont you think $6k is alot for a 146,000 mile car? i bought my 97 gt with LT headers and magnaflow exhaust and a few other bolt ons for $5500 and it had 84,000 miles

$6K is just a Buy It Now price, the reserve is less. If you put too low a price on it you get a bunch of lowball offers. At $6K there is some room to negotiate. And everyone says mods don't add value to a car.

If it were white, i would buy it!!

While your ad is very informative, personally i think it's way too much and i skipped over a majority of it.
the car is super claen and well maintained from the looks of it and your descriptions on the pics, which were more interesting to me than all of the "this is a 1998 Mustang" write-up you did.

Highlight the "selling points" of the car which are the clenliness and maintenance.

It's a sharp car for 146K and that needs to be you pitch

mods like LT headers and exhaust and minor mods help a sale, depending on the buyer

Looks how a car for sale ad should be. Looks a little cluttered but other than that it's great. I hate when I looked at car ads and there was maybe 3 pictures and only mentions a few things. Yours looks great, especially for ebay, when chances are someone from long distance wants it.

I felt like I was reading an Edmund's review of the car got bored and skipped most of your hard work. get to what is good and bad about the car with nice short sentences.

Get the point, put that stuff in for those who may not be familiar with the car.

Now that I think about it, I think you might need to categorize some of what you written. IMO there's no such thing as too much. To us who aren't interested in buying, yeah it's WAY to much reading, but for those who are seriously interested, it's well worth the read.
