Part of a successful sale involves a resonable price which buyers will be interested in submitting an offer on. If your
sale price is too high, buyers may not be interested in contacting you at all. Initially start by researching your local
newspaper for prices for your used vehicle, you may be surprised to find a wide range in price for the particular make
and model of your vehicle.
Create an email selling account

email account. Visit Google Mail, Yahoo Mail or Hotmail for a free email account where you can receiving inquiries and
emails about the items you are selling.
Photo ads sell
People online want to see what they are buying. People look for color, condition and any additional accessories that
your vehicle may have. Although you may not need to post all your car or truck photos, take as many pictures of your
car in case a buyer wants to see more photos of your sales item.
Mention that it is a private sale or for sale by owner in your ad

dealership. Not to say anything about automotive dealerships, but it is simply a matter of personal choice.
Selling a car privetly also ensures that you will get the best possible price and the buyer will get the best possible deal.
Get your car ready
Thoroughly clean your car or truck inside and out. Buyers love a clean vehicle and it makes a great impression.
Consider spending some money on having it professionally detailed.
Provide lot's of information in your ad
Buyers want to know everything about your car: when was it built, are you the original owner, how many miles or
kilometers on the vehicle, has the engine been rebuilt and more. Listing lot's of information in your ad shows that you
pay attention to detail and that you have nothing to hide when selling your car.
If you have photos of the vehicle posted on a website somewhere, provide a link to that site. Indicate to the potential
buyer how to contact you; by email or by phone. Optional is to list where the car is located so that people can come
and view it at their leisure. Some auto sellers even indicate what their viewing times are: mornings, evenings,
weekends.
Don't be affraid to put "OBO" (or best offer) in your ad. This tells car buyers that you are willing to negotiate the price
of the vehicle and that you are ready to sell your car.
Advertise your car on internet car classified systems

will accept photos while others simply offer a text ad. Initially start out by searching for local ads within your city or
state. National ad systems will provide you with a larger coverage, but may also charge your for your listing.
