How to List an Ad on Autosavant

2008

It’s pretty easy at this point – soon we’ll have a form you can fill out, but for now, just send me an email with the text you want in your ad, and attach any images to the email. No payment is required as listings are free.

Some important rules:

Whatever ad text you send us will be printed. No editing for spelling, grammar, syntax, accuracy, logic, etc. will be done. You are responsible for the accuracy of your ad. Formatted text will be replicated to the best of our abilities, but there are no guarantees in this regard. Basic is always much better. Any text you want in your header must be noted as such. Anything objectionable (profanity, racist, etc.) will prevent your ad from being listed.

Up to four (4) images are allowed per ad. An image is not required for you to post your car for sale. Any images must be in jpg.format, be sent as attachments, be less than 300 KB in total size per image, and not require any major re-sizing in terms of physical dimensions because that is not going to happen on this end. Our software re-size images automatically, but a conversion from a screen-size image to one that fits in our typical ad never works too well. If you’re not sure what an acceptable size is, just look at the other ads or the images in the articles on Autosavant.net. You can have as much text in the ad as you want. If you are a dealer and use a vendor (i.e., Autobase, etc.) to supply a feed of all of your used cars to the different sites where you advertise, simply supply the vendor's contact information and we will work with them to accommodate the feed from a technology perspective.

If our listing isn’t enough to adequately convey the value of your vehicle, you can put a link in your listing that connects to images or text somewhere else, but that link must go to images/information about the vehicle only – if it goes somewhere else or to a site that has redirects, spyware, pop-ups, etc., then your listing will not be posted. Period.

Remember to put your contact information you want for the buyer in the listing, as much or as little as you want..

We need the following minimum contact information from you, the seller, no matter what you put in the ad: city, state, phone # and email. This will not go in your ad - you can put whatever contact information you want in the ad that potential buyers see. This is for us at Autosavant, just so we know who/what is posting on our site. In case you're wondering, and just to be crystal-clear on the subject: we do not sell, convey, give, or transfer your contact information to anyone, EVER. Doesn't happen and it never will. Ads submitted without seller contact information will not be published. If you're a dealer, in addition to previously noted required contact information required of all sellers, you also need to identify yourself as a dealer, and in which city and state your business operates.

Your ad will run for a minimum of two weeks. If you wish to renew it, let us know by email and be sure to include the URL of your listing.

Be aware that we accept no responsibility for sellers, buyers, transactions, representations made, oral or written promises, financial arrangements, or anything else that results as a consequence of the ad being posted.

Submission of a post signifies your acceptance of these terms.

Send your desired ad to listings@autosavant.net

That’s it – hope you sell your car!

FYI - You may wish to insert this phrase at the bottom of your ad:

It's NOT okay to contact this seller about products, business schemes, personal interests, or anything else that is unrelated to the sale of the vehicle in question. So don't do it.
