A friend of yours has always admired your car. You have now decided to sell it. Write a letter to your friend to ask if he is interested in buying your car. In your letter, • explain why you are selling your car • describe the good points and any bad points about your car • suggest the friend visits you to see and drive your car

Dear David, I have decided to sell my

car

and I remember you being interested in it in the past. We are taking some time off to travel as a family, so we will be buying a caravan which requires a

car

with a bigger towing capacity.I am wondering whether you are still looking to buy a

car

and if mine would suit your needs. My

car

is now seven years old and

therefore

has a few drawbacks that you should be aware of. First of all, the radio is not adapted to modern standards.I know that you like to listen to electronic and bass music, so

this

may not satisfy you.

Also

, the seats are visibly damaged in the back, as my kids have sat there most of the time, but

this

is repairable.

Otherwise

Add a comma

Otherwise,

show examples

though, the

car

is in excellent condition and I am sure that,

besides

the radio, you be pleased with its properties. It drives very well and will get you through the most stressful drive to work or an enjoyable holiday trip with success. Just call me or write back if you would like to know more. I hope to see you soon if you would like to inspect and test drive my

car

! Best wishes, Tom.
