Sell Your Car Fast With More Photos

Do you want to sell your car fast? Here’s how to create an A+ listing that will grab the attention of potential car buyers. For this, you’ll need stellar photos as the main feature. But don’t worry about hiring a fancy photographer. Anyone can take high-quality images of their car — the key is taking enough. Here’s what you need to know about using photos to sell your car fast.

Why Do You Need More Photos to Help Sell Your Car?

There’s no other way to put it. Good photos sell cars. When a potential dealer/buyer clicks on a listing, they’ll sift through the photos to decide whether they want to contact the seller. The more photos there are, the more comprehensive view they can get of your car. If there aren’t enough photos of your car or the photos are low-quality, buyers will pass your car in favor of one with more readily available information.

What Photos Should You Capture?

You should photograph your car as if you’ve seen it yourself. Don’t just take a picture of the front and call it a day. Try to capture all the following shots to give potential buyers a real idea of what your car looks like. Here’s a complete list of photos to sell your car

• Front: Capture a photo of the front of your vehicle by standing directly in front of your car.
• Rear: Capture a photo of the back of your vehicle by standing directly behind your car.
• Profile: Capture both profiles of your car and include all side paneling and tires.
• Engine: Open the hood of your car and put your engine on display. This can help reassure buyers that you’re not trying to hide any mechanical issues.
• Trunk: Open the trunk of your car and show the storage space.
• Dash: Sit in the rear seat and photograph the front interior of your car, including the dashboard.
• Front seats: Open the front door and take a picture of the interior. Do this from both sides.
• Rear seats: Open a back door and take a picture of the interior. Do this from both sides.
• Wheels: Take a close-up of all the tires and rims.
• Steering wheel: Photograph a clear and straight-on view of the steering wheel. Make sure your car is turned on for this photo, so the potential buyer can also see a detailed view of your dashboard, including miles on the car and any warning lights.

Should You Include Photos of Damage to Your Car?

Yes, absolutely. Photos of existing damage show a potential buyer that you’re being transparent about the condition your car is in. Take photos of all scratches, dings, and dents. It can be helpful to show the damage next to a ruler or quarter to give an idea of its size.
When you’re selling a used car, it’s natural for there to be some imperfections. Your garage isn’t a showroom. While you want to make your car look good, you also want to be realistic.
