Writing the car advert
Motor Search does some of this work for you by
automatically displaying your cars basic details
in the writing field. All you have to do is
Ensure your ad reads well and sells your cars
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 neednt 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 dont forget the interior

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

Dealing with canvassers
Occasionally sellers are contacted by unwanted
canvassers, but Motor Searchs Telesafe system
can help you avoid them. Telesafe is a free
service for sellers that replaces your phone
number with another number which we can use to
block calls from known canvassers Canvassers
typically contact sellers persuading you to
advertise elsewhere with the promise of dozens of
buyers looking for a car identical to yours yet
the buyers rarely appear
