Is good???

Pls offer comments to improve and also questions if you have any.

As to why I'm selling the car, the answer is: I'm not sure that I am selling it.

I'm thinking about it.

I don't like the seats, with the primary complain being that it's too low, I'd like to raise it a bit.
One idea I have is: using shims/washers with a longer stronger bolt to raise the seat height.

For me, it really comes down to: is this that much better than my trusty 2007 Corolla? I would have to sell one, either the FIT or the Corolla.
Since the Corolla is all busted from everyday usage, it has a very low market value. I thought, "it might make more sense to sell the FIT even though I had just bought and I put 2000 dollars into it."

If there's one thing my girlfriend taught me about selling stuff peer to peer, it's about pictures more than words. Retake those pics on a nice sunny day, try and get every angle of the car, and make it look nice and clean inside and out (supposedly that helps to aid people in picturing themselves in a vehicle or home.) N take that seat cushion out. list your price, mileage, and maybe the fuel economy, and state that it has upgraded wheels and suspension, which you could explain to an interested buyer.

Might be better off selling the suspension independently.. requires less out of pocket from the buyer, and may increase your pool of customers. That's like, just my opinion though, man.

Yes, thank you. Your advice is sound, and is appreciated.

Truth be told I like the wordy ad, and I've written a couple only to have her go over it, give me a consoling look, and delete it all 😂 Like when I sold an OEM converter.. It would also appear that being a lady helps tremendously. That, or I don't come off to strangers like I think I do.

I only did it because I saw someone else do it.
