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.

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.

Be honest with your potential buyer. Don't be afraid to inform the buyer of your real reason for selling the car, for example you wish to buy a bigger car or you cannot afford the monthly expenses associated with the car. When asked whether major repairs have been done, you'd better tell the truth because they will show up in the end.

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.

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.
