“How to Sell a Used Car” by Randy Long

Things to Do:
1. CLEAN THE CAR. Vacuum, wash, detail.
2. Touch up paint job.
3. Clean tires. Use Tire Black.
4. Clean wheels, 4 matching or hubcaps.
5. Top off fluids.
6. Clean windows.
7. Remove old stickers.
8. If adding new stickers, only on windows (or OEM.)
9. Add AM/FM CD player.
10. Have a clean title.
Now you’re ready.
Make a list of pluses on car. Write up a portfolio on vehicle.
For sale sign.
On sign put basics, such as
1991 CRX-HF Honda, 2 door, 1.5 L, 4 cyl
5 sp, Runs good, looks good, nice interior.
AM/FM CD player, seat covers, clean,
nice tires, wheels, good tags, clean title.
Great Running Car $3,000.00 Phone Number.
Put in front window.
Next, take pictures, 10 to 12, no clutter.
Take pictures of vehicle by itself.
Next, put ad in newspaper or Craigslist. I prefer Craigslist.
Open account on Craigslist.
Post to classifieds.
Go to state, city for ad.
Go to Cars-n-trucks by owner.

City, state, zip code.

All caps
1991 HONDA CRX-HF

Nice body, nice interior. Runs great, looks great, nice tires and wheels, AM/FM CD player.
Second owner, clean title, good tags.

VERY dependable car.
Post 8 of best pictures.
Finish posting and post around 1st of month and renew ad on Friday mornings.
Always ask 3 or 4 hundred more than what you want.
(You can always go down, but you can’t go up.)
Repost often.
Make sure you get buyer’s information.
Make sure you date title.
Make sure you fill out seller’s report and report sale immediately on internet.
It may save you later.
You’re responsible for vehicle in your name.

[Editor’s Note: I don’t know what “OEM” is, or if that’s what Randy actually wrote in the section about putting new stickers on a car because I couldn’t be certain of the hand written letters on the page. If someone thinks I’ve made an error in my transcription, let me know and I’ll correct it!]
