The essentials
- Wash the car and shoot in the morning or evening against a quiet background.
- Take eight to ten photos and photograph the faults too.
- In the text, three honest lines beat twenty adjectives.
The photos
- Wash the car. That alone does more than any other advice here.
- Shoot in the morning or evening, not in midday sun — hard shadows hide the shape.
- Quiet background: a wall, an empty car park, a street without other cars.
- Eight to ten photos: front three-quarter, rear three-quarter, both sides, interior from the driver’s door, odometer, rear seats, boot, engine bay.
- Photograph the faults too. A buyer who sees them in the listing is not disappointed at the car — and does not negotiate in your yard.
The text
Write as if to a neighbour: what the car is, how you kept it, what was done, why you are selling. Three honest lines beat twenty adjectives.
- Name the last service with date and mileage.
- Write what was recently replaced — tyres, brakes, belt.
- Say openly if there are scratches, rust or a small fault.
- Skip "like new" and "no faults at all". Nobody believes it and it costs you credibility.
Take all photos before publishing: you cannot add new ones afterwards. After publishing, create the reel from 4 to 10 photos with one tap, or upload your own video (3 to 30 seconds, online after review). In the app, the list “How to get more enquiries” shows what is still missing.
