Selling Your Used Car For More

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.

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.

There are car magazines and online auction stores that allow members and non-members to advertise for free. It is highly advisable for you to provide a photograph of your vehicle to let the potential buyer see its current state. Also include the make and model, insightful descriptions, selling price, and your 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.

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.

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.

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.

Inform the buyer that your acceptable modes of payment are cash or a certified check. This assures you that you won't be cheated out of the deal. Remember that personal checks are a big no-no.
