If you have a used car you want to sell then you probably need it done as quickly as possible.  The best way to accomplish this is posting a free ad in the classifieds.  No matter what model of car you have, there are some steps you need to take first.

When people are shopping for a car via classified ads, they want one that does not need any extra work; therefore, you should get your vehicle in tip top shape.  This means having some basic maintenance done, including the following.

• An Oil Change
• Tire Pressure
• Transmission Fluid
• CV Joints
• Head Lights
• Windshield Wipers

Do not forget to clean your car outside and inside before posting your classified ad.  Vacuuming, shampooing, waxing, and removing any personal items.  If there are any small scratches on the paint, you can cover them with touch-up paint.

Now You Are Ready To List Your Car In The Classifieds

Before you write your free ad for the classifieds, you need to set your price.  It should not be so high that buyers will shy away, but it should not be so low that you cheat yourself out of getting a fair price.  So look your car up in an auto price guide.

Once you have a price in mind, you need to write an ad to post in the classifieds.  To make your car as attractive to potential buyers, there is certain information that should be written.  Remember, you must be honest, but you want to shed light on the positive aspects of your vehicle.  Points to put in your classified ad are:

• Model, year, and colour.  The more descriptive you are about the colour, the better.  For example, instead of green, write forest green.  This gives classified readers a better idea of what the car looks like, and it makes your ad more appealing.
• Does your car come with a road tax?  If it does, mention that in your ad as well as when the next MOT needs to be done.
• If you have kept up with all of your service records, you should say so.  This tells potential buyers you have taken care of your car.  And if there has only been one or two owners, write that in your ad too.
• Of course, list the car’s features and the price you are asking.

An effective car classified ad should be descriptive, precise, and straightforward.  If the ad posting service you use allows it, post pictures of your car.  The amount of pictures should ideally be anywhere from one to five.  Keep these classified ad tips in mind, and you will have your car sold quick.
