Should be noted that this is in relation to FOR SALE adverts in classifieds.

And as with everything - this has been covered many times before !

1. A basic requirement for most adverts will be price, location, if you are willing to post etc etc etc - yet people don't bother - hence they are less likely to sell them !

2, the number of adverts isn't that large compared to the likes of eBay so it's not as if it will take that long to search what you are looking for in reality

3, breaking each sub section will result in double or more posts is the item is suitable for a few marks, abf parts for example could be used in mk1 2 and 3, 1.8 t parts would be worse.

4, sellers have been asked to edit thread titles to enable us to remove sold adverts to " clean up " the classifieds but this rarely happens, this leaving loads of old adverts for you to search thru for nothing.
