o you want to
sell your car? There are plenty of ways to get a good deal and ensure you make money from your sale. Here are five tips that will enable you to
sell your car today.
1. Clean The Car
Used cars have wear-and-tear, but you should present your
car in the best possible way. A simple clean will make a world of difference. You can do it yourself, but a professional detail doesn't cost much and will leave your
car looking like new.
2. Keep It Up To Date
People want to get a great deal when they're buying a
used car. Tiny things like your brake fluids can have a dramatic impact on the price. Make sure your fluids are clean, topped off and see if the lightbulbs are performing.
3. Ditch The Cheap Signs
How many people see a
car with a cheesy sign attached to it and want to buy it? Not many at all. Avoid buying signs from a shop and make your own on the computer. Be sure to include the price as people won't bother calling if it's not included on the sign.
4. Advertise as a Private Seller
Second-hand car dealers have a bad reputation, which is a good thing for you! Make sure buyers know you're a
private seller and they'll be more responsive. A lot of dealers salvage destroyed cars, but this can leave people wondering if the
car will last. Show buyers that you're simply moving onto another
car and your vehicle is in good condition.
5. Gather Your Records
Service records are important, because they show any issues your
car may have had and whether it's been cared for. Save buyers some time by entering the details from service receipts onto a spreadsheet.
Now it's time to
sell your car!
