HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK |
||||||
Classified Tip of the Week - Descriptions It's tough to fit all of your info into 50 words, so stick to the basics! Is the car modified? Is there a new engine? Did you rebuild the chassis and rewire it? Is the paint custom? Is the body in mint condition? Decide on the strongest "selling point", and go from there. What would you want to know, as a buyer? Short, concise descriptions work best. Check your spelling and abbreviations for clarity. Have someone else read the description and give you feedback. |
