Need help writing an ad to sell a car

Hi everybody!

I need help with writing an ad to sell a car. It is a nice looking 2000 Miata ( hate to sell it) triple black (black top interior and paint) with 66K miles (all highway). No problems mechanically, no warranty left (except emissions and drive train warranty), no paint defects except for 2 scratches less than 1/2" long each. I need this to go in a newspaper (if you need to know the character limitations I can give those later).
Thanks
Dave

We are trying to get out of debt and this would allow us to pay off other things much quicker if we had a $2000 car instead of a $20,000 car (originally)

I'd also add the following:

Single owner-driven
Documented Service/Maintenance per manufacturer (If you have all the records. Else skip the word "Documented")
No accidents
Auto/5 speed manual
Expected price OBF: (I'd guess around $11,000 to private party and $10,200 do dealer)

I wouldn't put OBO.. You are saying you will take less than what you are asking for off the bat.

These sound good so far. Is there anything I can add to make it more desirable?

I was thinking of posting it at 11,200, since BBV is 10,750 (private party).

Thanks
Dave
