Anyone to proofread my GEN1 listing?

[atikovi]

Thanks for everyone’s suggestions when I needed repair advice on the car. Since there is nothing more left to do on it, it’s time to let it go so I put it on the ‘bay. Since most of you know more about the car than I do, let me know if I made any errors in the listing either factual or grammatical. It’s at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=150068857560

And if you need any practice bidding, well, you know what to do.

That is as rare as rare can get. No wonder those pictures on ebay looked familar...

Dang, I think I can die in peace since I saw a Gen 1 in such good shape. Hope it get's a good owner.

EXELLENT job on the ad! Wow, the average mileage is only 6400/year.

That car is really unbelieveable. Seems like it should be worth much more than what you're asking. It looks like it could pass for having 128 miles instead of 128k.
Bet you won't find any mummified french-fries in that car!

BTW: is that your house it's sitting in front of?

Wow, sold already. I'm not surprised though. Someone got just a little too good of a deal on that car.

Damn that's nice, got any more you want to get rid off? lol

Noticed a few differences to the aussie model (GL-i).
1. bumpers are solid black plastic is oz
2. front indicators are built into the front bumber
3. rear bumper doesn't protrude as far (that one looks weird lol)
4, steering wheel is different, has three horn buttons, one in centre, and one each on the arms
5. the steering wheel is on the wrong side lol
6. the fuel gauge doesn't have those interesting cut outs
7. mine has a second tripmeter(?) on the instruments. haven't quite worked out if it is a tripmeter, or how to reset it
8. mine does not have cruise control (sigh)
9. but it does have electric windows

Yea, The JDM version of the Gen1 camry had the blinkers (front) in the bumpers. Looked better imo.

That listing easily has some of the best pictures and most complete description of the work performed that I have ever seen on ebay. I have two questions:

1) what kind of camera/lens combination allowed for such good closeups of the tensioner?

2) what method did you use to add the red pointing arrows used in some of the pictures?

Thanks!

I use a pocket size Canon SD630 for the pictures and to draw the lines I use Adobe PhotoDeluxe that came with some hardware I got years ago. Just basic drawing and editing software that any scanner or printer or camara may come with.
