Tips For Selling Your Motorcycle The Ad When the time comes to sell your motorcycle, you obviously want to get the most money that you can for it. In order to be able to do this, you need to make sure that all of your ducks are in order, and that you have all of the necessary paperwork ready to go. You also need to prep the bike a little bit, so it is going to appeal to potential buyers. In addition to posting ads, you should also check out TheBikeBuyers.com , because they may be able to offer you a good rate. Here are some tips that will help you get the best price for your used motorcycle when you are advertising. Create Your Ad You will want to have ads in newspapers, on bulletin boards, and of course, online, but first, you need to create an ad that is going to get noticed by potential buyers. There are several things that you need to include in your ad in order for it to get a lot of attention, including: Asking Price – If you have a firm price in mind, put that price in the ad, and make sure that you use the word “firm” after the dollar amount. Otherwise, potential buyers will consider the price negotiable, and will try to bring your price way down. Mileage – Include the current mileage reading on the bike. Many buyers won’t be interested if there isn’t any mileage listed, but if you can show that it hasn’t been driven a lot, more people are going to be interested. Detailed Information – If you have any little details about the bike, such as customization work or even if it has been in an accident, you should put these details in the ad. Some people may not care if it has been in an accident, but they could be turned off if this isn’t mentioned in the ad, because they will think that you are trying to hide this information. Mention Brands – It may be that you have had new parts installed on the motorcycle. If this is the case, be sure to mention the brand names for the parts. If they are quality, well-known brands, potential buyers will be more interested than if you were simply putting on generic parts.

Tips For Selling Your Motorcycle The Ad

When the time comes to sell your motorcycle, you obviously want to get the most money that you can for it. In order to be able to do this, you need to make sure that all of your ducks are in order, and that you have all of the necessary paperwork ready to go. You also need to prep the bike a little bit, so it is going to appeal to potential buyers. In addition to posting ads, you should also check out TheBikeBuyers.com, because they may be able to offer you a good rate. Here are some tips that will help you get the best price for your used motorcycle when you are advertising.

Create Your Ad

You will want to have ads in newspapers, on bulletin boards, and of course, online, but first, you need to create an ad that is going to get noticed by potential buyers. There are several things that you need to include in your ad in order for it to get a lot of attention, including:

Asking Price – If you have a firm price in mind, put that price in the ad, and make sure that you use the word “firm” after the dollar amount. Otherwise, potential buyers will consider the price negotiable, and will try to bring your price way down.

Mileage – Include the current mileage reading on the bike. Many buyers won’t be interested if there isn’t any mileage listed, but if you can show that it hasn’t been driven a lot, more people are going to be interested.

Detailed Information – If you have any little details about the bike, such as customization work or even if it has been in an accident, you should put these details in the ad. Some people may not care if it has been in an accident, but they could be turned off if this isn’t mentioned in the ad, because they will think that you are trying to hide this information.

Mention Brands – It may be that you have had new parts installed on the motorcycle. If this is the case, be sure to mention the brand names for the parts. If they are quality, well-known brands, potential buyers will be more interested than if you were simply putting on generic parts.

Photos – Your ad should contain plenty of photos. In fact, you should include photos that have been taken of the motorcycle from all possible angles. You are going to get more interested buyers when you have photos than if they have to actually come to you in order to see what the bike looks like.

Contact Information – No matter where your motorcycle for sale ad is going to be posted, you need to include contact information so interested buyers can get in touch with you. You don’t need to leave your name and address, but there should be a phone number and maybe even an email address where you can be contacted.

Once you have all of the information you need, put it all together into one ad. Make it more noticeable by adding borders, bold fonts, etc. Then, start posting it and sending it to local newspapers to be published in their classified sections.
