Make/ model/ year/ int. & ext. colour/ mileage/ service history including which shop worked on it etc....
Say you are buying a classic or a 924, what else would you need to know?

If it's an ad without any pics, I usually try finding out things like how long the current owner has had it, why they're selling it etc... if they've owned the car short term then i'd be wondering why they're shifting it on so quick.. I don't pay much attention to mileage, the car having been well looked after is more important imo.

If the weather is anything like the UK's, I'd check if the car is kept in a garage or not too..

No, Lizard will beat me!

We do a lot of "brainstorming" at work and I was just wondering what the most direct/ best ad would be for a car. I've seen a lot of crappy ones!
