This is a rad ride!

Looks fantastic.


I'm surprised that it hasn't sold yet.

It's a good deal considering all the choice mods and obvious meticulous caretaking.

Thanks for your comment. This is truly a special car, and I'm also surprised it hasn't been snatched up yet. Have had a couple of interested parties, but no buyer. I am slightly negotiable, but I also feel the price is a bargain given the mods and condition.

Also, stating how much that was invested in the car gives an impression that you're fixed on the asking price. I'd omit how much the car is worth.

What sells a car is numerous high resolution pictures in good lighting. Take pictures of stacks of maintenance papers/receipts. Show that the car is reliable and that its been well maintained.

Thanks for all the constructive input. I've tried to improve my listing, but I'm stymied. I logged into NAM to edit my current listing, but I can't seem to make any changes to the pics. Is there a "help" function or tutorial somewhere to assist me with the editing. I can't even figure out how to cancel this listing and create a new one.
