Creating your advert

Enter the mileage and any optional, interesting or desirable features it has.

Enter the description you want to appear on your advert in the box. Be as clear as possible but try to avoid jargon: 'metallic red' is more helpful than 'Fire Opal'. Make sure you include:

Whether the car has a full or partial service history – this can add thousands to the price of a car
Number of owners – cars with fewer owners are generally more desirable
Extras like air conditioning, sat-nav, alloy wheels, electric windows and leather seats are all desirable
Modifications, but be aware some can reduce your car's value
Reason for sale – are you buying a new car or moving abroad? Reassure the buyer

Remember that if your car isn't in great condition, be honest. Otherwise you risk wasting your time and that of potential buyers.

Keep the advert as concise as possible and only include essential information. allows up to 1,500 characters on its online adverts.
