The two largest sites for free classifieds are Craigslist and kijiji. Write a very detailed descriptive ad about your car for sale on these sites. Be sure to include mileage, condition, and highlight all of the positives! Some marketing professionals suggest adding a human element to your story by talking about why you want to sell the car, why you bought the car and what you enjoyed about owning it. If you have an SUV that carried your family on weekends to the beach and the best vacation of your lifetime, be sure to say that in your ad, and how you hope by selling this car, you can offer the same great experience. This will set your ad apart from all of the other autos listed on the free classified site.
Next, the sites will ask about the size of your engine and the type of transmission the car has. Then, the sites will ask you to check off some of the added accessories the car, truck or SUV. This will include such things as alloy wheels, a sunroof, the stereo, electric locks and windows, etc. Again, the more added accessories the more money your car could bring you.
Before I put it on sale, I got my car checked thoroughly. I knew it was running fine, but I wanted a mechanic to confirm it. I figured it will be easy for me to convince the buyer, if I’m convinced myself. Turned out, there were a couple of minor flaws that needed repair, and I got them done quickly before I set out to pulpo junkyard.
You can sell your car to CarMax even if you don’t intend to purchase anything from them. The pricing in so different in this case so you don’t have to worry about “games”.
You can also use the internet to see what vehicles like yours should sell for. One source that has all vehicle values listed with the valuations customized for your particular area is Kelly Blue Book. Another source that I like to use is the online auction giant, eBay. Their eBay Motors Division has the largest online auction source of cars, trucks, SUVs and more. You can see what vehicles in the same condition as yours are currently selling for.
Once you have set the price, you should work on your car a bit. If you want to sell a car, it should be in a state that buyers would want to buy it. You don’t have to do much. You could just polish it up, give it a wash and a wax, and work on the interior a bit to make it look presentable. Making a car look well maintained would convince a buyer that this car is the one they want to buy. Collect all the car documentation and set it aside for when buyers will come to visit. When you sell a car, it doesn’t give a good impression if all your paperwork isn’t complete. Having records about the car and the complete paperwork will give buyers a chance to verify the papers you have before they buy the car from you.
Whatever your ways in selling the car, you need to make sure that you have prepared everything well, so the vehicle can be sold at high prices. Here are the things that you must be prepared in advance, before sell used car.
This is the most common way to sell off a used vehicle – selling your car to a dealer. After all, a dealer will buy nearly any car you place in front of him. Even if your car is scratched, dented, or smashed, car dealers have their ways to recondition it and sell it off.
