Used Car Selling Tricks

By Michael Trusthold


Whatever your reason for selling your used car, you are sure to be able to sell it faster and more easily by following these simple steps.

No one wants to buy a second hand car at a low price only to spend more on its repair. Fix everything, particularly those problems that are really inexpensive. In case you have a pretty expensive repair done before selling the car, you can always add your repair expenses to the selling price. A car that is in good working condition always fetches a good price.

Advertise in online auction stores and car magazines. They usually provide free advertising for both non-members and members. Provide the make and model of the car, insightful descriptions, selling price, photograph, and contact number.

You might want to get rid of your car as soon as possible but it does not mean that you have to sell yourself short. Have a bottom-line price and stick to it in case the buyer wants to haggle for the final price.

Be honest with your potential buyer. Don't be afraid to inform the buyer of your real reason for selling the car, for example you wish to buy a bigger car or you cannot afford the monthly expenses associated with the car. When asked whether major repairs have been done, you'd better tell the truth because they will show up in the end.

"Add-ons" that are exclusively designed for your car's make and model are really good bonuses. Inform the buyer that you will throw in a couple of add-ons after the deal has been finalized and payment has been given.

Make sure the necessary papers are in order, such as car registration, transfer of ownership, and deed of sale. Nothing is more irritating than being ready to buy a car only to find out that there are several problems involving documentation.

Only accept cash or a certified check as forms of payment. Be firm in saying no to personal checks. Do not hesitate to inform the buyer of your payment policy since it will clearly weed out the buyers from the cheaters.
