How To Advertise Pre-Owned Cars and Trucks

First and foremost, you don't have to take my word for it, but giving a realistic asking price will help your advertising sell your vehicle. Check out another article of mine for an idea of what your vehicle is worth in the 2008 market. You might be suprised at what your vehicle is really worth. Not only that but you'll know whether to up your original asking price or lower it.

This step is where you pick a place to put your ad. I will always suggest using free advertisment before you pay out of pocket to try and sell it. By all means you're trying to make money, aren't you?

• Make use of free online classifieds. You can run this in your search engine to find plenty of classifieds that will showcase your vehicle in your area. Popular free online classifieds can be found at: Craigslist, MySpace, Facebook, Listpics and Yuwie. Check these out and see if you can reel in a buyer!
• Another form of free advertisment is through the artist side in you! Get out some blank paper, some pens and get to work! Just write the basics "'97 pontiac bonneville, loaded, runs and drives, keys and title in hand, $1500 obo phone#xxx-xxx-xxxx". You can place several of these artistic flyers all around. Try your local grocery store, convenience mart, gas station, on telephone poles, in the mail, at the mall, your local library, or even on the car you are selling! Try it!
• If your ad has not sold through free advertising, or you just want to widen your reach, you can look into your local newspapers. Papers will often ofter you a deal for running your ad longer. In most of these ads you will need to keep your ads short, so make sure to leave an asking price, location for the vehicle, whether it runs or drives, and your phone number. Good luck!...
