Here’s a guide to walk you through all the steps.
Step 1 – Pictures of your car.
This step is one of the most crucial steps in the entire guide. Taking good pictures of your car is a big draw for potential buyers. Ensure the car is spotless get it cleaned before you start taking any pictures. Take out all unnecessary items like mobile phones or anything that doesn’t belong in the car.
Dubicars.com allows users to upload up to 16 pictures online so be sure to take photos of;
- The front (right, centre and left side). Take it from a lower angle and turn the wheels in the opposite direction for a great picture.
- The side. Either side of the car is fine, just make sure you have the whole car in frame.
- The rear end (right, centre and left side). No need to take these at a lower angle, but remember to keep the entire car in frame.
- Driver area. The majority of buyers want to see the steering wheel, dashboard cluster and all.
- Front interior. Hop onto the back seats, sit in the middle and take a picture of the entire dashboard. Take note of the front seats, make sure they are not obstructing any of the features.
- Back seats. Take some time to pull out any of the seatbelt buckles so potential buyers can see exactly how many can fit in the back.
- Rimshot. Even though your car has four rims, you ideally want to upload a picture of the front wheels due to the brake callipers being much larger on the front axle.
Other pictures that can help.
- Third-row seats. If you have a larger family sized vehicle with enough room for seven, eight or nine passengers, take a picture of the third row but not while they are folded down. Also, make sure the seat belt buckles are visible.
- Special features. If your vehicle has some unique features installed by the factory or third-party like a premium sound system, navigation system or rear-entertainment system, take a picture of it, remember dubicars.com allows for 16 pictures for all listings, so why not use them all.
- Engine. This isn’t necessarily restricted to powerful cars as there are a lot of cars out there that have different engines depending on trim level and country of origin.
For the best results, take all the pictures in landscape.
