Vehicle Identification & Specification

What makes a great used-car advert?

The best used-car adverts price vehicles competitively and ensure a speedy sale. Value your vehicle too low and you eat into profit margins. Value your vehicle too high and it will sit as an undesirable financial risk.

The key is to deliver on customer expectations. Your advert should show that your car at least meets the minimum performance standards for its model grouping. If it has optional extras or high-quality specifications that improve its value, list those too.

Every used car is different, and each attracts a different buyer. The best adverts clearly display the vehicle’s usage history and appeal to their local market. A vehicle’s value often differs between markets – so it’s best to explore your options.
