(FTO). Very frustrating!

There are plenty of other places to sell non-MR2s. Otherwise it becomes a bit like ebay and one of those is enough. At which point the for sale section may as well be ebay motors. If i wanted to buy an FTO for example I wouldn't go looking for it on IMOC. I'd got to the FTO club etc. Most will not even know the site exists. Or when the premier member bit comes about, make the for sale section a benefit of upgrading.- Cars as well as parts, so Lauren is correct. "other things" section would have. michael wrote:I still don't understand what harm an

It wouldn't necessarily cause any harm, but why not simply use ebay?
This is a MR2 site, if you haven't already noticed.
.. I bow down and respect your authority.- though to be honest I'd have thought it is very unlikely people wanting to buy a car other than an MR2 would look on an MR2 board. Often people just want to put their ads everywhere but it doesn't mean it increases the chance of sale if they're not doing it to the right audience?'Wanted - FTO in part-ex for an MR2' or similar 
- we're an MR2 forum, not a bring and buy. I've personally removed some entirely inappropriate items from the "For Sale" section (including someone wholesaling Nike trainers!), and feel strongly that the quality of content in this section should be maintained. In order to add the functionality to the site we would want to enable sub-topics - ie "For Sale" would then contain further categories such as "MR2s", "Parts", "Non-MR2s" etc. To do this would require an amount of technical resource which is at the moment dedicated to sorting out other areas of the forum (premium mebership, avatars etc). In the meantime though we are dealing with issues closer to IMOC-UK's core requirements.tonigmr2 wrote:Hmmmn, IIRC Esmond was thinking of looking at this as a sub-forum
Of course you could get round this by saying

(just hasnt arrived yet!) 
(plus it was quite appropriate for me).....it has broken some other stuff and I am working to fix all that now..so it looks like we will have subforum in the next update.
However (this is just my opinion) car's like FTO's (I have had one) would be best sold on the FTO site....or even Autotrader....FTO site charge a small membership fee......gotta be worth joininh it even to sell the car......15-20 quid on a sale wouldnt make much diff.....anyhoo......specialist cars are best sold on specialist sites,....you'd save time and effort in selling too....( I can vouch for that ) and anyone selling a more common (no offense) car like a Corsa, Escort etc etc would be best on Autotrader anyway...........if I wanted a nice FTO I'd go to FTOOC straight away.....and have an eye on the trader....same for scooby's, Evo's etc etc. stevenb wrote:I understand future MR2 members wanting to sell their car in order to buy an MR2.
You ahve to look at it from a potential buyers view.
Just my 2p's worth of advise.
(apologies for using you Toni). Toni has a HUGE collection of cars and if she were for instance to advertise one for sale (non mr car) another member may think, "ah toni is selling that. i could use that as my track day car...." etc etc. as is the car which is also in the trader, local cruise sites, mr2oc and various others that i cant remember.(though I dispute the fact that I have a huge number of cars, LOL!) I have a Discovery and a skyline - I'd sell both away from IMOC though - if people want a skyline they'll look on the skyline forums....just my opinion. We are still looking into sub-forums though and if it happens I am sure we'll have a non-MR section...and it had to be backed out. ..
