Photos

Photos of your car will seal the deal. Make sure you abide by these time-tested rules of c/l sellers:

• Make sure 1/5th or less of the car is in frame at any time. Let the buyer's imagination assemble the full picture, hopefully without all the body damage you're trying to hide.
• You really want to capture the setting, so if you must take a picture of the whole car at once, take it from eight or nine miles away
• Remember: potential buyers will want to know what the car looks like at night, so that the perfect time to take pictures!
• Never clean out the interior of your car. Clothes and trash strewn everywhere are signs of responsible automobile ownership.
• If you took pictures of your now used car when it was new, post those instead of anything approaching the present reality. Extra points if a clearly visible time stamp from four years ago is burned into the picture.
