To add photobucket pictures you need to purchase a photobucket account

at around £300 a year.

 

A change they made last year which annoyed a lot of users and killed a lot

of forums because users like yourself got used to adding pictures that way.

 

Now every forum or website that links to photobucket gets an advert to purchase

a £300 account.

 

 

To add photo's simply click the more reply options, then down on the left side you get

the options to upload your photo's.

Just my opnion but...

 

Way too much info that a buyer wont care about and just may put someone off.

 

The fact it had an aircon repair and then a regas soon after?

 

The prices, will a buyer be interested that you spent £100 having the exhaust welded

or that it cost £83 to have the radiator secured?

 

Or an aircon repair 6 years ago?

 

All rather pointless info in my opinion, something to chat over with the buyer over a cuppa

as he tests the cars and decides whether to hand over the money.

 

Will a buyer care what you paid for LPG? Several pictures of the pump is a waste in my opinion, Less pictures but better ones showing the car. Wheres the LPG filler for instance?

Well, I think it's a great advert. Very informative.
And you know what they say about opinions!! ha ha
