To justify that asking price, your ad needs to strongly emphasize the car's condition and reliability. Here is an updated Craigslist write-up for the local market.
Description:
Selling my 2008 Mazda 3. It currently has 262,000 km, but it has been incredibly reliable and runs extremely well. This is a perfect car for a student, a delivery gig, or anyone needing a dependable, budget-friendly daily driver to get around the Tri-Cities or Vancouver.
The Details:
Mechanically sound: Starts right up every time, shifts smoothly, and drives well.
Clean interior: Non-smoker, well-kept cabin.
Fuel efficient: Great on gas for commuting.
It is an older vehicle and has standard wear and tear for its age, but it has plenty of life left in it. I am selling it as-is.
Asking $3,700 OBO (Or Best Offer). I am located in Coquitlam.
