My normal routine is to fix whatever issue is causing the CEL, such as an evaporative emission system leak. Then I replace the failed power steering pump, fix the coolant leak, replace the
aquariums headlights. Then I get tired of working on the car and just tell the buyer that the trunk won't open, the drivers side mirror won't adjust, the instrument cluster is intermittent, and she drinks a quart of motor oil every 1,000 miles.
I then celebrate that I have $800 in my pocket instead of the oil slick on my driveway that used to be my wife's 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix. How she could drive such a heap as a single woman; I'll never know.

I flag every post I see that contains "keywords". The only keyword people need is the description of what they are selling. When I'm looking for a Prius, there is a 0% chance I'll take a cement truck instead.
Besides an irrelevant keyword list, you should also omit any mention of what sort of transmission it has, and not provide any pictures that would give you a clue as to how it shifts gears. In fact, based on my experience looking for a Prius, you can just use pictures of other cars that look similar to the one being sold, tricking the buyer into thinking your car has Bluetooth and stock rims.
If selling a TSX, say it comes fully loaded, which implies it has Nav since that was the only option offered. Instead, actually sell a minimally loaded TSX, which is the one that doesn't have Nav.
