Step 5 of 10 Steps to Selling Your Car : - Create Ads That Sell

    By Philip Reed, Senior Consumer Advice Editor

    When creating "For Sale" signs or putting a classified ad in the paper, you have an opportunity to show how eager you are to sell the car. This can be done by inserting the following abbreviations and phrases:

    Must Sell!: This often means the seller is leaving town and needs to dump the car at a fire sale price.

    OBO: This stands for "or best offer" and it indicates that you are willing to entertain offers below the stated price. This usually means you are eager to sell the car.

    Asking price: This also communicates the feeling that you will negotiate, but it is one notch below OBO on the eagerness scale.

    Firm: This word is used to rebuff attempts to negotiate. It indicates that you aren't in a hurry to sell the car — you are most interested in getting your price.

    Think about what you are telling people when you phrase your ad. Little words convey a lot. Besides the price, your ad should also include the year, make, model and trim level of the car you are selling along with the mileage, color, condition and popular options.
