Been a long time since I've done so... my mate was moaning about the amount of calls you get saying "We have a customer looking for your car, pay us £1m and we will give you his number" etc. kind of bollocks. Is there anything you can actually write on the advert that will stop this from happening!? I hate time wasters

I was thinking of saying something like initial contact via email only, then I shall provide my phone number or something, but would that put you off?

Any advert with email only is usually alarm bells for a scam tbh. Just write 'no canvassers' or something like that.

I just had a car advertised on there, didn't have any of those calls, just ones asking if I'd sold my car and did I want any tips or for them to advertise on their website for an additional fee, got motoring magazine emailed to me etc so glad it's not up there anymore

I like the racing puma seats, but the engine doesn't interest me.

Has to be a sigma engine.

Not going by what he said. Mine were asking if I wanted to advertise further for an additional fee, basically advertise on another car website. Or send me pointless shit by email.
