1- Avoid CAPS LOCK. Most people say it feels like someone is shouting the words at you.
2 -Be real with your pricing. The car is not worth what he’s claiming it’s worth or what he’s asking. I often times ask guys like this to put in writing and sign the guarantee’s that they are representing in their ads. “Here is your chance to make $6k in two weeks”. Without seeing the car or talking to the buyer I would guess the actual sale price would be around $3-4k dollars tops. With a deal like this you’re buying somebody elses workmanship and by the sounds of it I would not want this guys.
3- The picture quality is horrible. If you’re going to ask 5 times what your car is worth. At least take good photos.
4- Don’t use nada or blue book pricing.
5- My research shows, In perfect, original, low mileage condition, this car still sells for around $12-15k.
6- Use spell check.
