Ok what's wrong with my add? (Don't just say price.)If you look on piston heads mine is very reasonable.

Nothing wrong with it Nige. Car looks good in the pics. Definately worth mentioning its in the cheap tax band though, as I remember pretty much everyone asking me that when I was selling mine. Most seem to think that all hawks are in the expensive bracket.

Think its just the market mate.

Nothing that I can see

A m8 of mine who i told about your car said he had sent you questions through pistonheads and got no reply?????

Nige having seen your car and what everyone has said it`s a good one

But if I didn`t know the car for me personally the 6 previous owners would put me off

Nige, when I looked at the ad, there was a similar year Hawk STi listed for £800 less in the "found similar" box at the bottom.

It's only when you click on ad, you find it's a std 276 bhp version....

Might be worth stating performance figures in ad title?

Good luck with the sale!

I think the six owners might put people off and selling just before xmas might also be a reason.

Very odd I thought I had answered all questions. Yes the 6 owners don't sound good. May of been an x demo as the body & interior are better than my 2 owner hatch. I will give it a few more weeks then forget about it untill next year. Shame really, if I was going to Germany again tomorow I would take the Hawk. That's how good that car is.

You could add sinething Like.....

Don't let the 6 owners put you off, this car is in fantastic condition, always garaged and owned by an enthusiast, comes with history.

Viewing in person highly recommended, you won't be disappointed!

Mature owner - NEVER thrashed

Oi! Can't hit trees when it's off the road & put away for the winter.
I find that strange I'm using the ugly for everyday stuff & the hawk is is garaged up???

Low tax band is a real positive and worth the mention.

Advert is fair as is price. But its tough trying to sell even a main stream car for sensible money at the moment. It would seem 85% of buyers out there are dealers or private dealers all wanting to make a turn. When a genuine private buyer is out there specifically looking for a hawk STI I'm sure they will give this a look and with a little negotiation should be sold.

You just need a genuine private buyer who is looking for a hawk in that colour and you should be in business. Sadly the economic climate is putting people off that have cash in the bank from buying toys, and those that don't have the cash are looking to take finance and happy to pay the slight premium and go to a dealer, get a warranty, and finance.

Plus Hawks are out of fashion at the moment........ They are the most grown up of the scoobs, but some of the more advancing year petrol heads are moving towards German cars or soot chuckers. So that only leaves youngsters, track dayers or BHP hunters, that are going for Classics, bugs or blobs.

It will go eventually but probably not till spring now....

Initially mate there's nothing wrong with it but to be honest IMO the ads abit short for an enthusiasts thread, it just sounds like another dealers car that wants to be sold on with no actual car care, sorry if that offends you but compared to other scooby adverts on an initial look it dosent draw you in,

If it was me I'd give them as much info as possible that way it saves time wasters phoning up asking questions, I'd add exact mileage, dates of mot and tax, date the belt was changed etc etc, you can never have enough info, and if people are put off by an essay then to be honest there not really looking to buy it, if I was looking to spend 8k on a another scoob then I'd want as much info, history story of the car as possible with out the need to phone up.

Just my thoughts mate, as I said sorry if it offends you but that's what I'd be looking for if I was gonna buy it
