How to optimise my advertisement for a used car on Gumtree or Autotrader

JimHignett

Has anyone got experience of selling their car via one of these websites?
Could you give me some advice on the advert I have produced for Gumtree please?

1. Make the price competitive
2. Quality pictures
3. Gumtree default sort with latest advert displayed first (after paid adverts), you can relist the ad after few days to get back closer to the top.

You could try what I see all the time, put the year in as 10 years newer, put the mileage in has half and state the details are incorrect and put the actual mileage in the advert, you can do that with the price as well, half it and say the advert is wrong.  That will get your car at the top of any mileage/age/price search. 

I cannot see your gumtree advert so I cannot comment if its a good advert or not.
