    In MY opinion, did....you really need much better pix. The ones in the ad make it look like you are trying to hide something. I would not look twice at this ad because of the pix. That's just me. Just trying to help.:D

    Cool. I think it will help a lot to sell the car. They are beautiful wagons.

    I agree with Fox. When looking at ads the first thing (obviously) that catches me is the title. If it is something that seems even remotely intriguing I'll open the ad. When I get into the ad I usually go straight for the pictures. If those look decent I'll read through the text. On that ad I would look at the pictures and think meh and not read the text and go on to something else.

    I would also maybe break the text up a bit too and not be so wordy. Just get to the point and keep it short/simple.

    Good luck with the sale.

    You actually live in Kokamo?

    I thought that was just part of a song.

    Good luck with the sale:2_thumbs_up_-_anima....But why? You got 2 woodys, you need more not less!:)

    I agree with the guys, sorry dude but your pics are not $1900. Shorten the ad also, simple, blunt, and to the point. Don't take offence but definetly loose the "has every option except", just word it as a well optioned car ( I remember when you got it, there is a couple more options that yours does'nt have.) . Don't mention "I HAD a sterio in there and took it out"....don't even mention the sterio now that you have put the old one back in.
