If you have ever been in this situation and would like some clarification then you should read on.

The reason most people use these abbreviations is to convey as much information as possible in as few words as possible. Car sales adverts usually have a limited word count in the classifieds which is because the adverts are limited in size by the publication or website that they appear on. Some of the abbreviations are more obvious than others such as FFSR for factory fitted sunroof although this is something that would have been in an advert 15 or twenty years ago. These days you are far more likely to see 'air con' for air conditioning, ABS for anti-lock brakes or ESP for electronic stability program.

There are some things that need to be put in your ad but many people will forget them; these are details about the mileage of the car and the service history as well as MOT information. These will sell your car far quicker than listing every abbreviated feature that has been a standard inclusion on cars for the last ten years.

Including a photo with your ad can make a huge difference to the length of time it takes to sell your car so you should pay whatever charge there is for including one. Take a look at other cars and how they are photographed to see which you think is best. The most recommended angle is from the front corner of the car looking so that you get as much in as possible and try it with the wheel turned out and straight to see which suits best.
