well ladies and gents im back down to one car! sold it today for £6,500. 57 reg with 29k. puts a bit of money back into the bank for another rainy day lol he was looking at about 3 ST's but chose mine purely because of its condition and cleanness. this was the advert: http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2471364.htmso looks like it pays off to take your alloys off to clean them, srub your arches out and have a clean engine bay along with several washes, clay, polish and wax! money money money!! although it is going straight into our wedding fund!!! nor more cars for me yet

Well done mate,
Your advert sold the car well, i.e. you put a lot of detail into it and you could tell from your listing that the ST is mint! When I was searching for my ST, some people couldn't be arsed to clean the cars, and gave little scraps of info!
It's a bit like trying to sell a house and not hoovering before the buyers come round!
Out of interest, what did you clean the engine bay with? Do you have to be careful when cleaning inside an ST?
yeah i know, some peoples ads are crap! o well!
the engine bay is just cleaned with auto glym engine and machine cleaner. becarefull where you are spraying you dont want to get it to wet under there and also avoid electrics. just take your time, most often i use a paint brush to work it into the harder smaller areas.
but basically the guy had viewed other cars with slightly less miles on but prefered mine because of such things as spotless alloys clean engine bay spotless arches etc etc things that most other people dont bother to do.
