This is the very problem i have been watching happen, we have cars we all know are sh*t hot but no one wants to take a chance on cars anymore they all want one of those silly little things that do 60 mpg and cost nothing to tax, they've not thought about what happens in 5 - 10 years when it's broken / worn out and worth £500 and they got to get another one.
Very few people seem to be interested in the long term...but then what's new?

I'm going to miss the comfort, toys and acceleration, but there's no way I can run this thing for 20k miles on my salary.

When I've been selling, I've always had the best response from Autotrader. Just one question - is that a rip in driver's seat? That would put me off. If it's not, take a better photo!

No rips or tears...just wear on Alcantara.

Would it put you off even making contact to ask for better pictures though? Especially as it's not mentioned in the text? (given what is mentioned in the text)

I think it may have got the the point where the big V8/V10/V12 cars of the 80s/90s/00s are all going to end up in the scrapper...no one wants to buy them and when they do, they then don't want to maintain them.

Yes, photo number 7 looks like there's a tear or repair on the outside bolster of the driver's seat. That would make me think 'tatty interior' and move on to the next ad. I'd delete that photo!

Just my opinion as to what it looks like. Particularly to someone not an expert on PF S8s

haha...not having a go! *handbags*

I think I may just have a hard to sell car.

Talking to one of my neighbours this morning, his parents bought an AMG 500 CLS new 5 years ago, he's just been offered £3000 trade in, the last service cost more than that. Yikes.
