New and Used Cars: Ad Checklist
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.
Step 2: Get Selling!
Log on to Carlot.com and click on sell your car. This is where all the information you compiled comes in handy.

Step 5: Start selling
Your ad will be posted shortly after step four is completed. Soon thereafter buyer leads will start to come your way!
