Make sure you also price it for what it is worth; not what you put into it. So many times I see people looking to "get back" the money they "invested." That money is gone. It might be worth a little more to a buyer that certain things are looked after, but once again take a step back and look at it from a buyer's perspective.

The other thing is don't get lazy with your posting. So many times I see car ads without vital details like year, model, mileage, price, transmission, etc. Also make sure you have several good pictures.
