The Best Way To Sell A Car Privately

Automotive Published on

Everyone wants to get the best price possible for their car, especially in these tough economic times. Trading in your car or selling it through a dealer is generally a less hassle way to "get rid of" your car. From a financial perspective, a private sale may make more sense. Since the dealer will be reselling your car, they need to be able to add a profit margin and significantly reduce the price of your car. This article will guide you step-by-step on the best way to sell your car.

Review of appearance

Of course, no one buys a car without thoroughly inspecting it inside and out. Make sure you spend enough time keeping your car in top condition. A well-maintained car is more likely to sell quickly.

Thoroughly wash and polish your car. 
Vacuum the interior and wipe the dashboard, storage compartments, and other non-textile areas with a damp cloth.
If you smoke in your car, keep all doors and windows open throughout the day and use a car air freshener.
If your car is fairly new, all dents and scratches should be removed to leave a first-class impression. 
Compile all relevant documents, such as service histories, repair receipts, and registration documents.

Where can I advertise?

There are many online advertising sites where you can advertise your car, and fortunately, most of them are free. You can also post a notification on your Facebook page or on your car window. Make sure the text is printed clearly, and use the largest font possible. Of course, combining all of these options will give you the best exposure.

How can I post great ads?
The way you write your ad determines the number of responses you receive and, in turn, the number of potential buyers you attract. Write a nice and catchy title and describe your car in as much detail as possible. Please be specific in your description. Please enter the details below:
exact make and model
color
Registration year
Complete maintenance history Yes/No
Features and additional features
mileage
Photos (exterior and interior photos from different angles are best)
Pricing and contact details.

Even if a great description piques people's interest, try to paint an honest picture and be careful not to mislead potential buyers of your car. All information in your ad must be accurate to avoid wasting anyone's time or getting you in trouble.

A final quick safety tip

Selling something (especially a big-ticket item like a car) to a total stranger can come with some risk. Here are some tips to help you arrange a car viewing with a prospective buyer.

Ask the buyer to send you a copy of their ID before the meeting. 
Make sure you have someone with you, especially if you are a woman. 
Try to arrange a cash transaction. 
Don't let buyers test drive without you.
