Hello! You may have more luck if you don't write your advertisement in all capital letters. It might seem silly, but, those things do make a difference. To be blunt: my initial assumption, if I see a listing WRITTEN LIKE THIS, is that the seller is a fair bit older than me (> 42), and may not be particularly tech saavy or responsive to text communications. I may also assume that they're somewhat less likely to be good at maintenance etc. Would this be a show-stopper for me? No, probably not. But if I'm looking at a lot of listings, first impressions do matter. Yes, it would be more polite for me to not share these preconceptions with you, but, I'm certain I'm not the only one with these preconceptions, and I want to help you get the best experience you can!
These are 3 separate ads? Do the first and last not disclose the car’s year? Maybe I need some coffee. Impression: too wordy, describes the seller more than the car, too much extraneous detail, and puts me off with its “enthusiasm”.
Somebody needs to hide your capslock key and charge you 5x as much per word. Under those constraints you might make a great ad. Guaranteed to be more readable, anyway. Also consider offline ads. Sure, they won't reach nearly as far but you tend to get much more genuine responses from paper ads posted on the bulletin boards in churches, grocery markets and the like.
