Clean, well-lit engine compartment.

Tips: Include year, make, model, key features (low mileage, original owner, rare color), and condition highlights.
Tell your car's story. What makes it special?
Pro Tip: Be honest about any issues. Buyers appreciate transparency and it builds trust. Mentioning minor flaws actually increases credibility.
Fill out all available fields. Complete listings perform better.
Follow these proven strategies to maximize your listing's success.
Transparency builds trust. Mention any issues upfront - buyers will discover them anyway during inspection. Honest sellers get better results.
Listings with 15+ photos get significantly more views and bids. Show every angle, every detail. Buyers can't inspect in person initially, so photos are crucial.
Don't just list specs - tell the car's story. Why did you buy it? What makes it special? What adventures have you had? Stories create emotional connections.
Verified sellers with complete profiles get more trust and better results. Add your location, verify your account, and add a profile photo.
Answer questions promptly. Buyers often have multiple options - fast responses show you're serious and help close deals faster.
Include service records, ownership history, and any relevant paperwork. Documentation adds value and builds buyer confidence.
Learn from others' mistakes. Avoid these pitfalls for better results.
One or two photos isn't enough. Buyers need to see every angle, inside and out. Minimum 10-15 photos recommended.
Blurry, dark, or poorly composed photos turn buyers away. Take time to get good shots - it's worth it.
Generic descriptions like 'runs great' don't help. Be specific about condition, history, and features.
Research similar cars. Overpricing scares buyers away, underpricing leaves money on the table.
Trying to hide issues always backfires. Be upfront - buyers will find out anyway and you'll lose credibility.
Missing key details (mileage, condition, service history) makes buyers suspicious and reduces interest.
Slow responses or unprofessional communication loses sales. Be responsive and courteous.
Consider whether auction or fixed-price works better for your car. Rare cars often do better at auction.
Set the right price to attract buyers and maximize your return.
Before pricing, search for similar cars on DILO and other platforms. Look for:
For auctions, set a realistic reserve price - the minimum you're willing to accept.
Tip: Set your reserve at 80-90% of your target price. This allows room for bidding while protecting your minimum. Too high a reserve can discourage bidders.
