Things You'll Need:
- General vehicle information
-
Step 1
The first thing you need to determine when writing a vehicle ad is where you want your add to be viewed. For example, if you want to sell your car locally, you would pick up a local news paper and follow the instructions they provided for listing your vehicle. If you want your vehicle ad to reach more potential buyers you would list your vehicle for sale on internet web sites or car forums.

Step 2
The next step is to gather general information about your vehicle. The following should be the minimum for your vehicle ad...
1. Vehicle Year (Example- 1999)
2. Vehicle Make (Example- Ford)
3. Vehicle Model (Example- Focus)
4. Vehicle Color (Example-Red)
5. Vehicle Mileage (Example- 35,987mi)
6. Vehicle Condition (Example-Excellent Condition)
7. Vehicle Features (Example- PW, ABS, See step 3 for Acronyms.)
8. Vehicle Price (Example- $9,900OBO)
9. Contact Information (Name and Phone Number)
This should be the minimum information included. If you leave any of this information out such as the asking price, people may avoid calling you. The same goes for mileage. If you list your vehicle for a cheap price and don't include the mileage, some people may assume that it is a high mileage vehicle and avoid calling. -
