Whatever your reason for selling your used car, you are sure to be able to sell it faster and more easily by following these simple steps.
Don't you hate it when you thought you purchased something at a good price only to find out that you have to spend more on the repairs? The same holds true for other people. Selling a car that is in good working condition is the best and surest way to sell your car. So fix everything up nicely. You do have the option to include your repair expenses in the final selling price.
Take advantage of free advertising in online auction sites and car magazines, regardless of your membership status. Describe the vehicle to the best of your abilities including the make and model, a photograph, the selling price, and your contact number.
Really in a hurry to sell your car? Don't think of selling it at a price far lower than what you really want. Have a bottom-line price that is significantly lower than the original asking price. This way you can reduce the price to satisfy the buyer's request but still be able to profit from the sale.
Honesty is always the best policy. Whether the buyer asks why you want to sell the car, or whether any major repairs been done, you should be more than happy to provide an honest answer. There is no need to lie about the car's real status since a check-up by a mechanic would likely reveal the truth.
Include any accessories that do not originally come with the car. If you have owned the car for several months or even years, you are sure to have bought several add-ons to "personalize" your car. See if you can give some of these as a "bonus" to the buyer, especially if the deal has been finalized and that particular accessory only works with this particular model.
Make sure the necessary papers are in order, such as car registration, transfer of ownership, and deed of sale. Nothing is more irritating than being ready to buy a car only to find out that there are several problems involving documentation.
Cash or certified checks are the acceptable modes of payment. Never, under any circumstances accept personal checks so that you won't be cheated on the deal. Even if the buyer's offer is good, do not go through with the transaction if your payment policy is not met.
