The financial downturn has affected the entire world. Major industries, such as real estate or cars, saw significant declines, and ordinary people had to be more careful about acquisitions. Also, in order to recover investments made or to pay accumulated debts, we have to sell our own cars.
In a market that offers more and more used cars, and the clients are rare and demanding, it is preferable to pay much attention to the drafting and formulation of the sale announcement. Reliability, accuracy, and establishing a reasonable price are essential if you want to find a buyer. Here are some steps to follow in making the text of selling your car:
1. Full description. Remembering all the technical details, such as engine size, year of manufacture, mileage on board, body type, whether or not registered, improvements, traction type, transmission, etc., is particularly important. Mentioning all these details shows that you are a reliable person who seriously takes notice of this sale. Therefore, take a patient approach to complete the optional fields.
An elliptical text, followed by a phrase such as “Help, I’m on sell” will only drive away the customers. If your car is in good condition, just mention it. Terms like “real mileage” or “super” will do the same ( drive away the possible customers ).
2. Additional information that makes a difference. The level of equipment, technologies that your car benefits, play an important role in convincing the client. And if you have arguments, why not show them? Include in the notice whether it has central locking, air conditioning or Climatronic, Radio, GPS, and airbag numbers. Thus, you will convince customers that they are dealing with a well-maintained car well maintained and an honest seller.
3. Pictures. They say a picture is worth a thousand words! Therefore, an ad-free image is virtually zero. Before making a few shots, make sure it is clean. A body whose color is covered with dust and dirt will not make a good impression. In addition, a sloppy image will reflect the entire history of the car and even yours. Even if you do not go to the car wash, you can arrange it in the front yard or in a parking lot. Edit photos with both the exterior and interior.
4. Price. Before setting the selling price, look at similar offers. A simple documentation will help you get an idea of the value of your car’s MERCHANTABILITY. Do not try to set a price below market! Difficult times that we live, force even the most “unwise” to inquire about the correct amount you ask. To save time and worries, evaluating your car with a little professional help would be more than OK!
5. Revisions, improvements, a nd spare parts. If you recently took the car to the review and have changed oil, filters, and brake pads, write the details in the announcement. A buyer will always choose a well-maintained car well maintained, with revisions made on time, compared to an untidy car, left in decay. Ideally would be that you can prove the maintenance with bills.
6. Careful in speech! It has become stereotyped the phrase “Full, no leather, etc. .. Full means full, and that is if a car was equipped in the factory with all options available for that model. So if the car is on sale and there is optional leather available on ordering the car, and you don’t have it, do not write “Full”. Besides, the fact that you misled the buyer will be perceived by most of the buyers as a smart … “Unknowner”.
7. Avoid the “district” language or the messenger one! Write the correct words and do not use slang terms or incorrect ones ( ex, Reno instead of Renault ). Nobody is born learned, but before the public announcement, check it properly.
8. Be honest! Last but perhaps the most important step is the accuracy of the information. If the car was involved in an accident, and if the airbags have been replaced, it is better to recognize that. In most cases, these little tricks are revealed. Do not hide the mileage on board, and don’t hide technical problems. A simple visit to a ramp with a professiomechanihani, will reveal the truth about your car.
