thanks!

cant believe how painful this feels!!

[Mr Aston Martin]

Unless you have to sell then why?

No pockets in a shroud and it seems common consesus suggests you may be selling at the bottom end of the cycle.

Which means there is an arguable point you keep your Aston until the spring...........at least!

so the general feeling is prices rise in the new year?

Logically yes, but who knows what's happening with the markets..? Prices should rally a little in the spring, people are battening down the hatches for winter and saving up for Christmas at the moment.

I intend to pounce on a 911 cabrio soon for the same reasons

Well if you do actually want to sell it, I might suggest finding a nice spot and taking some proper photos of it.

I would worry about someone selling a £42k car with some old photos they had lying around. It only takes half an hour to take the car to a bit of countryside/green stuff and take a few photos.

Wheels turned so the spokes face the camera on a front 3/4 shot.

Same for a rear 3/4 shot.

Side, nose, rear, interior. Easy.


Sorry to be an arse about this, it's just a real bugbear of mine when you see rubbish photos in an advert for a Focus, let alone a gorgeous work of automotive porn like the AMV8.

Agreed - the photos look nice but a bit half-hearted.

You will at least stand out ... but for all the wrong reasons.

Good luck Gatso if you decide to proceed

[Gatso]

fair comment, I do have loads of pics but not so many post red callipers!

not sure it would worry me that much, that picture of the sexy arse would have got my wallet out on its own!

I probably wouldn't go that far - but why sell at a blatantly difficult time, unless you have to?

No lowest month is January
They start risning around Easter time
