How to sell your used car

Selling your old used car can be a chore, but by following these simple guidelines, you can get rid of that clunker while maximizing your profits. Now, it may seem like a good idea to try and get a trade-in towards a new car from a dealer, but the truth is, by selling your car yourself you can make an extra $2000-$6000 on average. The dealers will wind up talking you down away from the market value of your car, which makes the decision to prep, advertise, and sell the car yourself all that much easier.

Now that you have decided to sell your car yourself, there are a few other things you can do to make the deal go more smoothly with prospective buyers. Obviously you will want to clean the car; wash it, wax it, shine the tires up, and change any burnt out fuses or bulbs. Some one looking at your car may be discouraged by the fact that you don’t keep up with it properly. Also, having accurate and complete records of the vehicle’s maintenance can help to show people how well you have taken care of your vehicle. Lastly you want to completely reassure buyers against their number one fear, that they are buying a lemon. Print out a Vehicle History Report to prove to them that your car hasn’t been totaled out, flooded, or had the miles “rolled” back. This will set their mind at ease and give you the edge you need to stand out to a used car shopper.

So now your car is ready to sell, and you want to know the best way to go about it. Using a classified ad is the singular most used method of selling a vehicle; however, we’re not talking about your Sunday’s paper. Newspaper ads are often expensive, and the limit on the words you can publish creates a problem because you can’t post all the necessary information to inform shoppers about your car. Try the internet and you’ll be more successful than if you used your local paper’s advertising section. Online car sales sites don’t have word limits, the prices are cheaper, more often than not you can pay one price to advertise your information until the car sells, and Internet media reaches a much larger demographic. What more could you ask for? Now get out there and sell that car.
