Is there anything blatantly wrong with this ad? It hasn't been getting nearly as many replies as I'd like (basically two, one was from a very nice man in Nigeria and the other guy didn't actually have any money) and I'm new to this 'not scrapping a car out when you're done with it' thing. I've already knocked $500 off the asking price so it's in line with similar cars that have significantly more mileage. http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/calgary/2004-pontiac-vibe/1085136622?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

I've already knocked $500 off the asking price so it's in line with similar cars that have significantly more mileage. Well, you asked: I don't care which owner you are in the chain of this car's life. I would replace those two initial sentences with some feel-good pinterest bullshit about how the car has been your best friend during your life, you love it, you have been on tons of adventures and it is ready for [teenage girl]. People buy stories, so give them a ready-made framing that they can fill in the blanks for. I don't understand what you are saying in the winter tire section, I'm reading anxiety in your wording. I would bump the "good working A/C" above that mention and only say that it is ready for winter with "good condition 15" snow tires." Mention that the Pontiac Vibe is the same car as a Toyota Matrix, so it shows up on searches for Matrices and ropes in those customers who do not know this badge-engineering fact. Photo-wise: Polish your headlights if you're going to make them the first thing I see on the ad. Same deal with the wheels; move the curbed ones to the back and turn the wheels so that I see more wheel and less tire. The wheels are a focal point of your ad text so make them the first thing the ad reader sees. Do the Asian Male Photo Squat and get low when you are taking the side shots. I shouldn't be able to tell what the roof looks like from the side photos, but it should look sweet and like a magazine shoot. Take the plate off rather than blur it out, and move it around a few times so you don't have drips under the rear bumper that make people subconsciously think the car is leaking (even though it's just car wash water dripping off). Clean your dead pedal. 303 the dashboard and make sure all the vents are set, look at how car brochures set their vents when they show a picture of the dashboard. I'd also clean your rear glass better than the car-wash did and make sure to dry off the bumper with a microfiber and shoot the rear bumper in the sun instead of in shadow. Don't shoot into the sun. What was the extent of the cosmetic damage in the minor collision? Some trim, a foglight maybe? I'd say what was replaced. Take a picture of the rear seats so that people know you don't have kids. The hatch too, so they can see if you have the extremely expensive rear hatch rubber liner. Either park straight in the spots or don't take shots in a parking lot at all.

Waking up sick loving sucks. I'm going to swing by the hardware store and pick up the rest of the poo poo I need to install the lexan windows, and then I'm doing RTK and passing the gently caress out.

I just got a record cheque for my last week at work; £1,109.50. Beats my previous £776 by a fair bit, well please. So close to my account being in the black again.

The feds ream me out of course but that's to be expected. If you're including UEI and/or some other poo poo, yeah that could happen. Especially since you work for companies that seem to think having their workers making bank for 6 months a year and sitting around on unemployment the other 6 months is a smart way to do business.

Ricco's 1099 or W-4 or whatever is messed up. I pay slightly more than he does for my bi-weekly paycheck, and NC's state income tax rate is higher. So either you're including poo poo that isn't taxes (Fed, state, SS, Medicare), you're lying, or your deductions are completely hosed.

Hey Phone, I have had you on Ignore for months and you still are still quoting my posts. It's creepy, sad, and annoying. Also, here is a screenshot so you can berate me for not breaking down the $600 I mentioned into specific categories. Guess it's more Fed than MA but that's what happens when you view PDF files at lunch on your phone. Needless to say it's still $600 so gently caress off and stop replying to my posts.
