Best way to sell my V40 D3
Hi,
I have recently bought a new V40, and decided to sell my older Diesel version privately, but there just doesn't seem to be much interest for my car on Autotrader although it is a beauty with a fantastic spec, and the the call I have had, they have just messed me about. does anyone have any useful suggestions they can recommend to sell my car without selling well below its value. |

Do you have a link? you might get some opinions on images or wording that might help.

Ebay classified listing. I found advertising with Autotrader expensive for what it is.

As yours is high spec I'd be tempted to photograph any extras as images have more impact than text and it will reinforce yours as a high spec car. The only other thing that sometimes helps is taking pictures in a nicer location than a driveway or normal road. I've always washed my cars then driven to the nicest roads I know and photograph them there!

TV adverts for cars never show traffic jams or 'other' road users/cars, they simply show the car with loads of open space around it to promote the idea of the freedom the new car will give to them.
Your pictures need to be solely of your car, in an open space when the sun is out. I would also say that your car should take up approx 70% of the overall image, with the car being in the centre of the image and a border of 'space' around that car. You want the classic 'angle' front shot the with the font wheels turned in towards the car so that the alloy side is facing the camera... Remember that humans are taller than most cars and our eyes generally look down at them. Therefore the car will look most natural if you hold the camera at the same height as your eyes, then tilt it down towards the car like this: Not This: Last edited by T5R92011; Oct 11th, 2018 at 21:36. |
