A few things to take into consideration when selling your car
This information enlightens you on a few important points you should keep in mind when selling your used car.
The main reason that people go in for selling their auto is topurchase a nicer make or something a little classier. You should apply some homework before going into attempting to sell the auto to the first potential buyer. You should write down information pertaining to your car like the model, how old it is, the mileage it has completed, the popularity of the car now and of course the amount of repair and maintenance works that have been done to it. Autos that were driven by the actual owner are believed to fetch an increased price than those driven by chauffeurs, simply due to the fact this directly reflects on the condition of the vehicle.
While getting down to calculating the selling price, its important to be honest about what value the auto holds, no point in demanding a price that is completely unreasonable. If any big body work or maintenance has been done on it, make sure to include this in the price also. Any after sales modifications or accessories that you have done to the motor need to be mentioned so the potential customer knows he is receiving more than just another one of the many used cars. Remember there nothing wrong with starting with a price higher than what you are expecting to get as this method makes way for a bit of haggling.
So, now all the information is clear you can maybe place a for sale poster on the vehicle or publish a detailed advert in a local paper or on the net. But you need to be obliging and patient to spend energy and time in sorting through the emails/calls you get and welcoe the interested purchasers before securing the deal.
It also pays to spend a little in getting the vehicle to look good and appealing, also get a friend or family member to drive it around. They may just spot that random sound or something that was not right which you could have overlooked and that needs to be repaired. Apart from these have all necessary documents to hand, and incase you do not have the reg papers, obtain a copy of the it prior to the sale completing. And do check with the buyer if he/she has a valid driving license and go along on the test drive. All this will put your mind at rest in relation to the customer and give you an opportunity to get to know them more as well as answering any queries they may have in the process.
