Milage is 150K, I will add that to the ad.

Tires are practical new
Here's the thing when I look at cars, almost without fail, I automatically eliminate owners who say "FIRM" in thier add, and then back it up by describing why.

If the real price is $1000, put $1200 OBO and just not allow yourself to take less than what you're comfortable with. I am honest to a fault as well, but eliminate describing in detail all that is wrong with the car, and don't mention it's been sitting for 6 years, anyone who calls about it can be told the story, and will appreciate your candor.

Tires are at the bitter end of thier life when 6 years old.....not almost new. I had 7 year old Pirrelis on my garage kept 83 944 when I bought it and was afraid to take it very fast because of the checking and cracking throughout the sidewalls and tread. Also after 6 years, it needs a timing belt.

I'm not trying to bust your balls here, but sometimes upfront honesty will scare most buyers away, kinda like telling your wife that those pants actually do make her butt look big.....not wise.
