Here are some helpful tips for those who would like to sell their cars.
- Know the Market. Is your car going to be easy to sell? Is it a hot commodity? Make sure to check on-line classified ads to see how much other sellers are asking for your type of car.
- Price your car competitively. Be sure to leavea little wiggle room in your askingprice. Ask for slightly more than you are actually willing to accept. That way, when a person makes you a lower offer, it will be closer to your actual price, rather than below it.
- Give the car a make-over. People will ask to come take a look at your car, and of course, you want to look as sexy as you. So before the expected reveal, make sure that your car has gone through a great make-over, maybe something beyond just a car wash.
- Find safe and smart places to advertise your car. There are many websites out there available for you when it comes to advertising the car. We have the classic Craigslist and EBay, as well as RepoKar.com. If you run a classified ad, just make sure you are available to take phone calls or texts from possible buyers.
- Create ads that sell. Think about what you are telling people when you wrute your ad. Little words convey a lot. Besides the price, your ad should also contain very improtant details about your vehicle that the buyers would want to know such as the mileage, year, make and model, etc.
- Be Open. Be open about the condition of the car before the sale as well as timely and complete in transferring DMV paperwork after the sale. Doing everything correctly when you sell your used car will give you peace of mind when you are done. When done correctly, selling a used car can be a win-win situation. You have turned you used car into cash and provided reliable transportation for the next owner. Focus on the benefits to both parties and you are likely to have a smooth and profitable experience.
