First you must establish a value for your used car. To assist you, used car price guides are available at libraries or book stores. Also check your local newspaper's automotive advertising section for similar vehicles. It will help you set a fair price based on your local market. You may also want to take your car to a couple of used car lots and see how much they'll offer you.
Your used car ad should list the year, model and body style, and you might want to include the number of miles, engine size, or color. When writing your ad be honest. Skip the flowery phrases and stick to words that buyers will respond to such as super clean, low mileage, one owner, excellent fuel economy, regular service records, etc. If your used car has any special features such as a car alarm, let people know about them in your ad. The clearer and more honest your ad, the less hassle you'll have in selling.
Prepare your vehicle for resale by having the car cleaned and detailed by a professional detail shop. Having your car cleaned gives you an edge over other vehicles in the market. An attractive car can justify a higher selling price. Also do not make any major repairs. Any major mechanical repairs or body work will almost always cost more than the increase in price you'll get for the car. Instead of spending a lot of money, simply be honest and straightforward in your ad for the car.
