Used Car Selling Tips

By Michael Trusthold


Planning to sell your used car? No idea where to start? This article can help you with the basics to make it less of a burden.

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.

Advertise in online auction stores and car magazines. They usually provide free advertising for both non-members and members. Provide the make and model of the car, insightful descriptions, selling price, photograph, and 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.

Have the necessary papers, like registration, transfer of ownership, and deed of sale ready and on-hand. The last thing you want is a buyer backing out of a deal because it would take a long time to put everything in order.

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.
