Create a appealing add for your listing

  1. Gather the Basic Information About Your Used vehicle

    The first step to building a successful classified ad for your vehicle is that of getting all of the standard information about your vehicle. This includes the basics like Year, Make and Model, as well as Options, VIN, Mileage and History etc.

  2. Take A Quality Photo Of Your Used Vehicle.

    Photos are included in your listing on Tennesseecartraders.com, they benefit both the car buyer and seller. Listings with photos have a far greater chance of being noticed quickly, thus decreasing your selling time. Multiple photos are a good choice to show all sides and inside of car.

  3. Determine Your Location and Contact Information.

    Provide an email address if you have one and a primary and secondary phone number. The easier it is to reach you, the more inquiries your ad will receive.

  4. Pricing Your Used Car To Sell?

    Use a trusted site like Kelley Blue Book, or NADA to get an accurate ballpark of what your used car is worth. Next determine what you are willing to accept for the car. If your used car is worth $10,000 and you are willing to accept $9000, price your vehicle lower. It does eliminate some of the negotiating, and your used car will be more attractive to car buyers encouraging them to contact you. If you are competing with similar vehicles a buyer may contact you first because of the lower price. No matter how you look at it, $499 is more attractive than $500. In the end you may end up selling your car at the price your competition would have settled for. Remember: Car buyers are most likely using the same pricing websites that you use in setting the price of your vehicle. If you are near, or lower than the price they have, your used car is that much more appealing. Knocking a few hundred dollars off of your asking price may put your vehicle ahead of others just like it and make it more attractive to car buyers.

  5. Including 'Seller's Comments' Can Help Sell Your Vehicle.

    We can't stress enough how important seller's comments are to creating a successful classified ad for your used car. If you provide a concise list of all of the available features of your used car, your vehicle is that much more appealing. These features include things that may not be a part of a standard option lists such as: tires and wheels, brand of stereo/speakers, power/ heated seats, tow package , gas mileage, passenger room, how well the car drives etc. This may also be a good place to add comments like: "Great gas mileage", "Dependable work truck", "Plenty of room for kids, groceries and pet", etc.

  6. Adjust your price with the rate of response from buyers.

    Last but not least, keep an eye on your classified ad. If you are not receiving any inquiries from interested buyers, then you may want to lower your price.

    We hope these few selling tips will help you. Thank you for choosing Tennesseecartraders.com.

Online Car-Buying Fraud protect yourself!

The Internet can be a great tool to buy or sell a car, but just like offline deals, there can be unscrupulous individuals looking to take advantage of consumers who don't take actions to protect themselves against fraud. Whether you're communicating with the seller over the phone or via email most online car transactions go through without a hitch. However, it pays to have a healthy measure of suspicion, particularly if anything about the deal makes you intuitively feel uneasy. Remember, the crooks are playing a numbers game, sending out millions of e-mails in hopes that someone bites. If you question them even a little bit, they will usually disappear back into the ether of cyberspace. Always use your common sense and pay attention to your intuition. If something feels wrong, make sure you check it out carefully. In the meantime, here is a list of Tips To Avoid Cyber Fraud:

  1. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. This means that many scams begin by offering unrealistically good deals. Did you just buy a brand-new Hummer for $10,000? Does that make sense to you? These so-called "deals" are just the hook to get your money.

  2. Establish telephone contact with the buyer or seller and determine where the car is located. Ask if you can inspect the car, even if you don't plan to do so. Ask if the title is clear and in their possession.

  3. Vehicle history reports can offer useful information about the car, truck or SUV you're looking to purchase. History reports provide title information and accident reports from the DMV. CARFAX is the leading independent provider of vehicle history information. CARFAX Vehicle History Reports are based on information reported to CARFAX from over 5,300 sources.

  4. We suggest you have any vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic and always conduct a test drive. Ask the owner for all service records and any other paperwork they may have on the car. CARCHEX will give any automobile a 55-point pre-purchase inspection almost anywhere in the USA. Whether it is across the street or across the country their qualified, professional staff performs most inspections within 48 hours and can often provide same-day service.
