Well worry not! We’ve put together this list of top 5 tips for selling your used car. Read on for all the deets about what to do before, during, and after a sale.

Reasons

1) In our intro we mentioned that people who are inexperienced in this process might be taken advantage of. While you may worry about this, it is best to not let this get in the way of your sale. The best way to counteract this is by doing some research, figure out what your car is worth and stick to it.

2) Another reason for selling a car would be if you no longer need one for primary transportation. This can be for a number or reasons such as moving to a new location that is closer to work, buying a boat and no longer needing the car or the family having grown and a bigger vehicle is needed.

3) Another reason would be that you are looking to buy another vehicle and are trying to free up some cash in order to complete the purchase.

4) Perhaps you are looking for a new vehicle, but you have a few old beaters that could use new owners.

5) You may even be looking for something more practical and are in the market for a van or truck. If that is the case, then you may need to eliminate one or two cars from your garage.

What to Do Before Selling Your Car?

1) Get an estimate from a mechanic to make sure that your car is working properly. This way if there are any issues you can work them out before selling it as cars with problems can be harder to sell.

2) Also make sure that you can get it fixed or at least park it in a garage until fixed. For example, if you are planning on selling your car privately and you live in a part of the country where it snows, then tell the buyers to be sure that they can have the car at their place and secure.

3) If you are selling the car through a dealer, then make sure that they can find buyers for your car. This way, if they cannot find anyone who is interested in buying it, then they will know not to waste your time and money and keep the car.

4) If you are selling privately, then make sure that you have a way to cut any losses should things go downhill. For example, if the buyer doesn’t pay or doesn’t show up on time and your car is kept at their place, then there may be some costs to pay. So this might need to be taken into consideration when dealing with such a vehicle.
