An effective sales ad for your ATV or dirt bike should include all of the basic information a buyer will need to make an initial appraisal of your vehicle.

Pricing Considerations – Pricing your vehicle for sale can be difficult, but if you do your homework, you should be able to price it correctly. The factors that can affect the price are; age, condition, characteristics and accessories. One of the mistakes that many make when listing the price of a used vehicle is that they list it too low. Whatever price you decide on, you need to add a couple of hundred dollars to the price to give yourself room to negotiate. This is a shock absorber that can be the difference between selling or not selling the vehicle.

A realistic price with room for negotiation is the best way to sell your ATV or dirt bike quickly.

Provide basic information – When putting together your listing, it is vital that you include the make and model of the vehicle so that potential buyers can determine if the vehicle is right for them. You’ll also want to include any special features the vehicle may have to make it more attractive to buyers. If you offer accessories that will be included in the purchase price, you’ll also want to list those in the ad. Lastly, you’ll want to include your contact information. It is recommended to include only your phone, or you may find people showing up unexpectedly to view the vehicle.

Take a look at other ads for ATV or dirt bike sales and model your ad around one that appeals to you.

Be honest and direct – This section is where many sellers may have trouble designing their sales ad. Many tend to promote the ad and the vehicle for sale, well beyond the condition and capacity of the vehicle. It is important that you are as honest and direct as possible. If the vehicle has problems, indicate them. If you will need certain repairs, let the prospective buyer know. It’s better to be honest about your selling points, rather than waste your time or have to deal with them later.

Being honest and upfront with your listing and buyers can save you a lot of headaches later on after the sale has been made.
