Selling a used car can be a tricky thing to do quickly. Having a nice car helps, but writing an attractive ad gets people to want to look at your car. Without people calling to look at the car, it doesn't matter how great the car is. Learn how to write attractive used car ads by following these steps.
Follow tradition in the beginning of the ad by stating what year, make and model your car is. People scanning ads like to know what the car is before reading the good things about it.
List the mileage in the ad, preferably after the make and model. Let buyers know what they are getting into before calling about the car.
Use words that people can relate to when thinking about a car. Using a word like "awesome" when talking about the condition of the interior of the car doesn't bring much to mind. Use words that allow the buyer to imagine what it looks like. Using "new interior" or "very clean interior" may sound boring, but it brings to mind the kind of interior you want in a car.
State what kind of condition the drive train, tires, interior, paint and engine are in. These are things most people want to know when they make a phone call about your car. Being honest isn't warning people away from your car; it is saving you time from buyers who may be looking for something different.
Place your ad on the Internet at a site that sells used cars. You can often get a much larger amount of space to write and describe your vehicle than that of a local paper.
Add your contact information to your ad so people can easily reach you when wanting to ask about the car. Make sure you have your phone number correctly written. If you have an email address, put it in the ad as well. Many people like to send emails so they can get pictures of the car without having to drive to see it.
