You are here: Home / Tips & Research / Car Ad Checklist

Step 1: Organize

Compile the following information:

Year
The year your car was made in a four digit format (ex: 2000)
Make
The company who made your car (ex: Toyota)
Model
The type of car (ex: Corolla)
Zip Code
Where the car is being sold from (ex: 76209)
Doors
How many doors are on your vehicle? (ex: 4)
Transmission
Automatic or standard
Engine
What type of engine runs your car? (ex: 4 cylinder) You may be able to find this information in your car's owner manual
2 WD / 4 WD
Does your car drove with two or four wheels? You may be able to find this information in your car's owner manual
Fuel
What type of fuel does your car use? (ex: gasoline)
List Price
How much are you selling your car for?
Miles
This must be answered as honestly as possible, if you are planning on driving long distances before the car is sold, you may want to account for that here.
VIN Number
This can be found on the drivers side windshield or on the driver's side door panel. This VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is very important, buyers will use this to get a Carfax report and ensure the quality of the vehicle.
Photo
A photo will greatly increase your selling power, buyers feel more confident in cars they can see. If you do not have a digital camera or scanner, you may want to take the photo to a photo center to have it transferred to a CD, so you can upload it to the Carlot.com site.
Description
Please note any extras that the car has, like a new sound system, you should also inform buyers of any body damage or repairs that need to be done in this area.
