-declutter the interior; remove anything that belongs in another part of your house. it will make your car feel less like a personal space and more like something meant for selling
-stay up on google analytics to see what's working best in terms of keywords. if you have a lot of hits from “used cars near me” but not many from “car dealer near me” then it might be worth investing some money into a seo company to rework your website to target those searches, which can easily bring targeted traffic to your page over time
-give all the features of the car – people love options! a person's next car purchase might be determined by what extras they find at yours so don't miss
how do i sell my car to a private person?
considering the question is about how to sell a car, i'm going to move this one aside for now so it can be answered later by someone who knows that much more about cars.

the answer largely depends on the type of car you are selling. it is forbidden by federal law for anyone, including dealerships, to discriminate against buyers or sellers based on race, color, religion or ethnic origin. unfortunately many people still discriminate based on these cases and that's why i think it may be wise to accept certain types of payment depending on your circumstances.
for example if you are selling a vintage car that requires restoration to get back up conditions it could be different than somebody who has a newer used care with low miles for sale. if somebody was worried about getting lower offers because their family looks different they should take this into consideration when deciding what forms of payment to offer. this way nobody gets discriminated against based off
