My $0.02 worth:
Knock up a quick website. Not too hard to do with WordPress or similar tools, and a single page is good enough. On this website include:
- Pictures (detailed) of exterior and interior
- All relevant logbook hours for airframe, engine, prop, whatever. Maybe a copy of the last two logbook pages.
- All details about avionics and other important accessoires. (Was the plane converted to 8.33 kHz and mode-S already?)
- All details about damage and service history. When is ARC renewal due, when are any "lifed" items due for replacement. Is anything currently U/S? Maybe some copies of the latest maintenance statements and such. Maybe the results of compression checks, oil analysis and other relevant tests.
- Details of any accessoires you "throw in" as part of the sale. Maybe some spare parts, spare oil, towbar, covers, you name it.
- Details on how you want to handle trial flights for interested buyers. Plus your contact details obviously.
...and so forth. In short, try to imagine all the questions that a potential, serious buyer would have and try to answer them as open and honest as possible.
Then put ads up on all the important websites. Afors, Planecheck and maybe a few others. Point to your website. That will get you the best exposure, with the least amount of follow-up questions.
And if you do get relevant follow-up questions, update the website.
