[QUOTE="s_x_i, post: 11080277, member: 47078"] Yes, but would people stick to it?? Here's the one from our local forum, feel free to borrow from it: Seems like there's some idiocy on here regarding the best way to sell a car... I borrowed some and added some, so I didn't have to type it up - try and use it. If you really do want a successful transaction, here are a few guidelines that may help you out: 1) Pictures - No serious buyer will make an offer without pictures, especially if the distance is too great for a personal inspection. The first question you will receive in your thread will be for pictures. Why waste time? Beg, borrow, or steal a decent camera and post them. It's free. You do not need to post 30 shots of the car, just enough to show the front, back, sides, and interior. If a buyer needs to see those 30 shots, they can ask via PM. 2) Prices - It is unfortunate for the seller, but the fact is that used cars depreciate! The average buyer on this forum probably watches used prices very closely, so asking what you think it is worth without checking actual sales figures is a waste of everyone's time. But my car is a single owner and I have all of the service records - A valid point and may be worth a slight premium. Your mileage may vary. But I have expensive mods - Sorry, that may be worth some premium, but most buyers don't care (or don't even consider that a bonus). Performance mods may recapture some value (but never all of it). Cosmetic mods may be positive or negative (those sick black rims may be great for you, and horribly ugly for the next guy) No asking price, but looking for offers - The worst way to sell a car. POST A ****ING PRICE! You will only attract what you feel are lowballs. You are fishing for a misinformed buyer, and you will not find many of those here (except David). You will only attract ridicule and silence. These are very very simple points, but there are too many ads that fail to meet basic standards.... Here soon, I'm gonna start cleaning up threads that don't have basic info in them. "Car for sale runs good call for details" **** your thread - that shit belongs on Craigslist. Good luck with the sale. [/QUOTE]
