Selling your car can be a difficult thing to do, especially if you feel like you can't pull yourself away from it. Maybe that car has been with you since college or maybe you won that car at a local carnival. Whatever it is, it is always tough to sell a car that you have become accustomed to driving day in and day out. If you do decide to sell your car, don't let the process drag you down and wear you out. It can be a trying thing to do and can be bothersome if you are having trouble finding the right deal.
When placing your car for sale, always decide beforehand whether or not you are going to trade it in at a dealership when purchasing a new one. If you aren't going to trade the vehicle in, begin researching the car's blue book value on the internet or in the book itself. Once you figure out what your car is worth, begin looking for the best places to advertise the sale of your vehicle. Take pictures of the inside and outside of your car for the sale listing. Many people advertise the sale of their car on websites such as Craigslist as well as in public places.
Many supermarkets have public bulletin boards that allow their customers to place ads on them. Those ads are usually for renting an apartment or a condominium and for selling a house, a car and other equipment. The ad should be one page, with a picture on it, and a phone number for potential buyers to reach the seller at. Post your ads in as many local supermarkets as possible and also consider posting the ad on any website that allows you to do the same. If you post the ad on the internet, here you can add more than one picture.
When creating an advertisement for your car, make sure you include all of the pertinent information that potential buyers will want to know when they are looking for a new car. Information you should provide is make, model, color, mileage, last service, repairs, features and anything else you want to include. Features include the stereo system, ABS, sunroof/moon roof, alarm, heated seats, CD player, TVs on the backs of the front seats and much more. Also, if a potential buyer wants to know the history of your vehicle, you have to tell them. That includes how many accidents your car has been involved in, if there are any, as well as all repairs that the vehicle has been through.
When selling your car, don't take the first offer that comes along. Always wait a couple of weeks after the first offer comes in to look at anymore potential offers that might come through. Why? Something better might come along down the road. Once you begin fielding offers for your car, sit down and analyze what has come in so far, what you are looking to spend on your next car, and how much you can make from selling this car. Once you determine which offer is best for you, tell the buyer and make the sale. The only thing left is transferring the plates and the title to the new owner.
