Newspapers charge you by the word, Craigslist and other online sites do not. Have at least a dozen pictures ready to email. If you are advertising online, write a full paragraph! That should be easy, if not, look at some Ebay writeups for examples of how you would/would not describe the car and it's history.
Ready to go to 200K miles? Does that mean the timing belt has been changed? Then say "new timing belt". You are advertising a Volvo to people who are loking for a Volvo. They already know about high milage. They might even know more about Volvos than we do. "Just broken in" sounds like a used car dealer trying to get rid of a clunker.
None of us would ever buy a car without service records, did you keep them? Can you prove that you changed your oil every 3K miles? Can the buyer trust you????? Has the ETM been fixed? Any parking lot door dings? Other scratches? Do you have to add a can of R134a every spring to get the AC to work?
Tires and brakes good, or does the new owner have to get new ones in 5K miles? Is it super clean, inside and out, including the inside of the windshield? Does the spare have pressure?
What other extras does this car have, besides heated front seats? You mentioned a ski rack.
And never say fixed price of $10K. $9995 is always better. $10,950 or best offer, sounds better than $10K! Let the buyer know you are willing to bargain a few hundred bucks.
