Why don't these people bother to fill in the ebay car listing form?

Virtually no details and a couple of crap pictures, makes you wonder whether it actually moves mad.gif

Looks like there are cobebs under the rear light, i doubt that moves. Although it looks like there is another Xm parked behind it, might be an enthusiast.

Not enough details on it, will limit its appeal.

It checks out as a 2.1 and is a base spec D.
There may be concerns over the 3cc engine capacity... rolleyes.gif

As Andrew said, you'd have thought that if you had the inclination to put your car on eBay - which costs money - you'd at least make sure the photographs showed the vehicle in its entirety, and that if you were dumb enough to not only omit pictures of the interior, but also crop the ones of the exterior to the point you can't really make anything out, you would at least include some useful information about the car. They've not even bothered to tick the 'V5 Document' box which pretty much says it all.

The thread I posted earlier today points to yet another eBay estate with almost all the form fields left blank. Having spoken to a good number of XM sellers over the last few weeks - none of whom appreciated either the car or the marque - I've come to the conclusion that the moment you dip below £100 and stray from enthusiasts, the likelihood of any given automobile being in the possession of a complete wally increases exponentially.

No offence to Andrew and the contents of his barn smile.gif
