Aims
Keep in mind you want to describe the car fully and accurately,
price it to reflect the quality and the fair market value, and
use a style which enables the reader to gain a clear understanding
of what is offered. |
What
must you include?
Include the model, year of manufacture and registration
letter, body colour, mileage, describe the condition generally
and of the key parts, then mention any extras, the service history
including any major replacement parts, clarify when the last
set of new tyres was fitted and mention tax and MOT expiry dates.
Adding your reason for selling helps a buyer understand why
the car is up for sale, but this can be very easily clarified
in your contacts with callers responding to the advert. State
the asking price and then set out your contacts. It is also
worth mentioning where the car is located - the county is sufficient.
You also need to clarify whether it is a private or trade sale.

What
should I avoid?
Avoid using hackneyed or vague terms like "good car",
"good runner", "lovely driver", "first
to see will buy" and avoid spelling mistakes and poor English. |
Choose
a good colour photo
Take a set of photos of a clean car in good light and from each
angle. Add a three quarters front photo to show the car at its
best. |
How
do I set the price for my car?
Setting the asking price needs care - too high and you may
have few responses, too low and you might miss a better price.
So do your pricing research by browsing current classifieds. |
