Craigslist.org is a website that is designed like the classified section of your local newspaper , except Craigslist.org covers all seven continents and 70 countries worldwide ads.

To maximize the success of the sales price of your used car , there are three main points to consider:
Have photos and make sure they are okay. Too often , cars sale ads on Craigslist are places and have pictures, but they have a little line that says " Contact me for pictures. " This is not only annoying for you, but is also a step further that some people who are willing buyers may not be willing to take for the purchase of your vehicle. Your job as a salesperson in your vehicle is to facilitate the purchase of your vehicle for a person to have the best time possible purchase of your vehicle. It is your sole purpose that the seller of the vehicle. To facilitate the sale of your vehicle, you need photos of your vehicle , not just photos. You need images that are :
 
Relevant

• When you take pictures of your vehicle, must show all aspects of the vehicle. Show all sides of the outside of the vehicle from different angles and make sure to show pictures of the inside too. Take a group photo of the instrument panel and the indicator to show the mileage is a good idea because it shows shoppers exact mileage of the car.
• If there are problem areas in the vehicle , be honest with them and be sure to post pictures to inform buyers in advance. Buyers appreciate honesty if you are up front with them.
• Be sure to take additional photos are more detailed . Return to this point later in the article.
large
• It's no secret that as we age , our vision gets worse and worse. Instead of alienating all over 50 potential buyers , post large images to help maximize the effect of the photos you have taken . This will improve the experience of seeing all buyers and small details make the car easier to see .
• Mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets have become increasingly popular , and many people use Craigslist for navigation as a convenience. Large images are better for mobile users , allowing a broad picture quality even on small screens .
high quality
• Make sure your photos are taken during the day and have a well-lit vehicle. Also, be sure to take photos that are not blurry. Blurred images do not sell vehicles.
• Photos must be taken on a sunny day with the sun on your back . By focusing on the details in the front saves time on the road. Make sure the car is visible and that the condition is evident from the photos . You do not want to have to field phone calls asking how the interior looks great when you can get pictures of the inside from the start.
POST Detailed vehicle information. This is very important if you want to minimize calls to ask simple questions about your vehicle. By posting your vehicle on Craigslist , do not forget to include :
Vehicle Specifications
• It is very important to include the engine and the transmission in the vehicle. This information may make some buyers really want to buy , or can distract , to give them information in advance can really work in your favor . Do not forget to mention that the car engine. Many cars have several different engines available , a four- cylinder in-line could be the norm, but the V6 is an option. Buyers interested in fuel economy would be very interested in the four-cylinder , but the mother of three children want more power to transport children and their teams around the city and could have like the extra power refined V6 engine. This information can make or break a purchase decision , so buyers know .
• Transmission of the information is as important as the engine of information. Many people cannot drive manual transmissions , or just prefer to have an automated system for comfort. Others prefer the pleasure and control of the evolution of his own team. Something for everyone there, you want to be sure to find the right buyer for your car. Be sure to mention the type of transmission in your ad to help eliminate the inevitable calls or emails requesting that the transmission is in the vehicle.

Miles and Driving Style

• Do you drive mostly on the highway on a long trip ? Or are you always stuck in traffic on a busy road in the center ? Do you drive the car on weekends ? Or the family should take this vehicle on road trips ? All these questions should be used to determine how to drive the vehicle .
• What most buyers to pay attention to most , however , is the mileage . Mileage only , however, does not tell the whole story . Be honest and frank about mileage, even with a vehicle having a higher mileage. More important than the mileage , however , is maintaining . A well- maintained vehicle , with more miles is much better to buy a vehicle with a history of poor maintenance and low miles. Be sure to include all information you have for keeping the car. Revenue service interval would be nice and pass to the new owner . Received by the timing belt and water pump service, new sets of tires , oil changes , wheel alignment and all go a long way to show that you have properly maintained the vehicle through property .

Condition

• Be sure to highlight areas of your vehicle that are in top condition. Do not do it with the intent to mislead potential buyers while highlighting the best parts of your car to help decide if the bottom of your vehicle meet the criteria for a vehicle that would buy .
• Again, always be completely honest and open with people. People will forgive Carpet stains, but neglecting to mention that the indicators on the dashboard do not work is unforgivable , at best , and not waste your time in the long run

MANAGING Buyer responses . 
This is the area that most people do not like Craigslist , most people do not want to interact with strangers. However, focusing on a few key points , you can minimize the waste of time and really hone in on the buyers who are willing to do business . Once you have followed the steps above and published the announcement of the car, you should focus on the following points to seal the deal :
 
Having more ready images!

• People almost always ask for more photos of your car , unless you have followed the above advice and quality , relevant pictures from the beginning informed . Craigslist has a limit of 24 pictures, which should be enough to sell your vehicle, but you should have more pictures of small areas of the car , if potential buyers are interested in certain areas of the vehicle. The seats and door panels and carpet are common elements that people wonder , like the engine compartment and in the trunk or trunk.
• Ideally you post enough pictures to start send buyers to other images is not necessary, but be prepared with extra images will save you time in the long run .

Provide as much contact information as you can!

• Be sure to provide a phone number that buyers can call . If possible, also provide a phone number for texting . Let's give buyers a good time to call. If you work 9-5 and then ask them to call at night for the best opportunity to get to you.
• Make sure you always tell people to leave a voice message if you do not come when called . Want to be able to contact people, if you cannot take your call when they call.
• When it comes to Craigslist , it is common to find what are known as messages of " spam " that come to your email . These may be potentially problematic due to the content included in the . Therefore, it is advisable to create an email address specifically for the treatment of transactions Craigslist. Do not make the mistake of using a primary personal email for Craigslist transactions .

Go to a neutral ground

• Cannot be too safe in today's world . There are many, many normal people on Craigslist , but it is not advisable to give your address to anyone online that you have not met . How come my car then? Potential buyers can meet in a neutral place . Find a local mall or having a foot traffic when going to meet mall. This increases the security of the transaction for you , and the buyer (which could potentially be carrying thousands of dollars in cash). It's better for both parties and is usually the most convenient way . It's much easier to ask someone to meet at the local mall for the service entrance to the west of the store to give instructions to your home.
• At the end of the day you want to sell your car, but safety is key!
If you follow the above steps, you are on your own for a satisfying sales experience . Be prepared from the start will make your job as easy and fun shops. Adhere to three basic principles of good images , detailed information and shipping costs to the buyer responds correctly
