Selling Your Used Car For More

By Michael Trusthold


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.

No one wants to buy a second hand car at a low price only to spend more on its repair. Fix everything, particularly those problems that are really inexpensive. In case you have a pretty expensive repair done before selling the car, you can always add your repair expenses to the selling price. A car that is in good working condition always fetches a good 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.

Let's say you are in a bit of a hurry to be rid of the car. That does not mean that you need to sell it far below your desired price. The best thing for you to do is have a final price in mind. This way even if the buyer asks for a price reduction, you can make the person think that he was able to get a good bargain when in fact you both win in the end.

Telling the truth is always the best option especially when you are selling. Do not be afraid to admit if major and minor repairs have been done to the car. Eventually the buyer will know of these repairs so it is better to come clean from the start. You can also tell the buyer your real reason for selling the car.

If you are like most car owners then there is a high probability that you've personalized your car with more than one add-on. Consider passing these on to the next owner as "freebies" especially if the add-on is exclusively designed for the car's make and model.

Car registration, deed of sale, and transfer of ownership should be in order. A potential buyer may back out if they find out that the necessary documents are not ready, and that it may take a while to arrange everything.

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.
