5. Writing the car advert Motor Search does some of this work for you by automatically displaying your car’s basic details in the writing field. All you have to do is: • Ensure your ad reads well and sells your car’s strong points, without exaggerating• Write clearly, avoiding jargon or complicated terms e.g. ‘metallic red’ rather than ‘Fire Opal’• Include key features and desirable equipment such as leather seats or air-conditioning• Include how long the tax and MOT has to run and any recorded service history• Keep the advert as concise as possible Good photos make it far more likely for you to have a successful sale quickly, and taking them needn’t take a long time. • Clean your car inside and out• Make sure your pictures are sharp and in focus• Take pictures when the car is well-lit and dry• Clear space around the car so you can get the whole car in• Photograph important details such as alloy wheels and don’t forget the interior http://motorsearchuk.co.uk

6. Preparing your car for sale A clean car looks like a cared-for car, so spending a morning making it sparkle could add hundreds of pounds to its value. • A good wash creates the best first impression• Cleaning the interior is essential and an air-freshener might help• Check – and top up – oil and water levels and make sure the tyres are correctly inflated• Gather all the paperwork and arrange it so buyers can examine it easily Buyers will almost always want a test drive and to inspect your car thoroughly before handing over any money. • Always ensure any buyer test driving your car is suitably insured – if not fully covered by their normal insurer they should obtain temporary car insurance for the test drive. Ask to see proof first• Never leave the buyer alone with the car keys and turn off the engine if you swap drivers• Give the buyer time to view the car and let them arrange further inspections if they want to http://motorsearchuk.co.uk
