People with a used car for sale often make one mistake. They act before they think. And end up wondering for days together why their car doesn’t sell despite posting an advertisement. To find out what mistake they might have made, and to save yourself from repeating it when it is your turn, read on the following prerequisites for posting a car sale advertisement.
Always post a picture
Most car sellers write a ‘request for picture’ postscript asking interested buyers to mail them for a picture. Would it be prudent to post a single picture along with the ad instead of mailing it to many people? Besides, buyers do not relish the thought of requesting for the picture of your car when they can easily jump on to other offers with pictures.
Verify price using Kelley Blue Book
Always remember to refer the Kelley Blue Book before setting a price for your used car. Do not think that you can trick Craigslist buyers by pulling a random figure out, since they are clever enough to refer to the book themselves.
Give honest description
Never try to tell a buyer that your old car runs like a brand new one. Nobody will believe you. Try to give an apt, yet honest description of your car.
Use full terms
Many internet newbies aren’t familiar with the abbreviations used such as LN (like new) and OBO (or best offer). So do not lose a potential buyer because you wrote a short form that they didn’t understand when you can spare a few seconds to type completely.
Use proper keywords
Do not use keywords that are irrelevant. At the same time, do not forget to use all the necessary keywords.
