Must have taken longer to write out the advisories than to do the actual test.
In my opinion id probably ignore just about everyone of them advisories....
Yeah. To be fair, a lot of them are extremely pedantic
"slight corrosion to [brake pipe] ferrule" for example. But I just found it amusing to read
"Excellent condition. First to see will buy" and then be confronted by that wall of advisories when I went to check the MOT history.
On a more general note, what makes me dubious about so many of the sellers' descriptions is that the vast majority of them don't mention anything about the MOT history at all, even if it's been flagging stuff up. The odd one or two will say something like
"Since MOT I have <insert list of advisory related jobs done>" but most of them just completely ignore it and instead wax lyrical about really unimportant things like what colour the seats are or what brand of stereo has been fitted. I suppose their target market is people who would buy a car based on that and never look underneath or inside the bonnet.
When I sold my last van, I practically wrote a novel about it; outlining the jobs I'd done, what parts I'd used, the good and bad features and I listed all the known faults. A couple of the people who came to see it actually said it was better than they had expected from my description. Marketing 101 folks: "Under-promise and Over-deliver"!
BTW: Is it just my imagination, or are asking prices slowly starting to come back down to Earth again a wee bit, of late? I'm seeing more Cruisers around the 3 - 4 grand mark again. For a while there it seemed everyone was asking 5 - 6 -7 grand for anything with a Land Cruiser badge on the back.
