Write a pukka advert - list everything like you're as fussy as hell. Add in you're a long-time MG enthusiast. And don't tell people what's wrong in the advert. Let them at least come and see it for themselves. Person A may hate dents but person B may not care.
Talk as if you are confident it's the best one out there.
Here was the advert I wrote when I sold my previous ZS:
Have decided the time has come to sell my car in order to clear a few personal debts before buying my first house, so reluctantly my ZS 180 is up for sale.
2004 '04' reg MK 2 saloon in Firefrost pearlescent.
24,900 miles from new
The car has been tastefully modified with the following:
Janspeed exhaust manifolds
Janspeed sports cat
Janspeed cat back exhaust (Genuine X-Power backbox)
ITG Maxogen induction kit
Piper cams and vernier pulleys
Dastek Unichip
Xenon headlights
Alpine IDA X-001 Ipod specific head unit
X-Power silver gear knob
X-Power interior mats
Grey alcantara interior (inc rear headrests)
EBC Yellow stuff front pads
Motorola bluetooth hands free system
Michelin Pilot Exalto 2 tyres all round
MOT due August (it flew through the two it had with no advisories at all)
It will have 6 months tax on it as of end of April as it's due.
I have a huge A4 envelope full of receipts ranging from all the above items, to oil, spark plugs, filters, rolling road graphs, wiper blades, bulbs, wheel tracking adjustments, MOT tests etc....
Car has never been used on track or drag strip
It had a final rolling road result after the cams of 204bhp and the fuelling is spot on throughout the rev range thanks to the unichip.
Alloys are all undamaged, alcantara seats are almost brand new and have no damage, windscreen was replaced last year so is new condition. Cambelts were changed 2k ago with the cams.
Couple of door 'trolley' dints were removed last month by Spray-Tech Maidstone so the car is completely smooth on every panel.
Has also been run on optimax or BP ultimate since May 2007
I'm happy to give any more details or up close photos to anyone who asks.
These are the most up to date photos so far, and I'll add more to this post later in the afternoon.
Total spent on modifications has been £5000 not including the servicing items and most labour costs for the exhaust fitting.
Asking price is £7000 (corrected as settlement figure for bank loan has just been received)
This is my settlement figure on my existing loan so at this price I will be making no profit. Would like to see it go to an enthusiast ideally
