Selling your used car doesn’t have to be a burden and a negative experience. Tell it all and show it all! People want to know why you are selling your car. Tell them the truth. I’m going to share with your some steps about getting your car ready and putting it on the market for the best price possible.
1. Determine the value of your car. Go to the NADA and Kelley Blue book websites and see what the value of your car is. Once you have a value go to Cars.com and AutoTrader.com and see what similar cars like yours are selling for. This will give you a good feel about how to price your car in the market place.
2. Detail your car. Don’t over look this step. I’ve seen people try to sell their cars without detailing it and it cost them lost sales and lost profit. A professional detail that cost $150 to $200 can bring you much more than the cost of the detail in your selling price. (Why do you think dealers always have their used cars looking like they just came off the new car showroom?) It’s called PROFIT!
3. List your car online. Use the major automobile sites like Cars.com and AutoTrader.com. These sites charge a fee, but it can be well worth it because of the amount of exposure they get you. You can also use Craigslist that is a free site. However, be careful and follow Craigslist advice, and only deal with people in your area. Don’t take checks from out of State or out of the country.
These sites can get your car out in front of millions of people. Putting your car online requires plenty of photographs of the vehicle and lots of detailed information.
4. Photos and Detailed Information: Take pictures of the outside of the car, front, back, driver side and passenger side. Also include pictures of the trunk and the engine. Show the tires in your pictures too; let people see how much tread they have. Take pictures of the inside of your car. Photograph the driver seat, passenger seat, carpet, back seat, sunroof, dashboard, odometer, shifter, DVD players, the manuals and all the keys. Don’t hide anything – show it all. Be honest.

How To Sell Your Used Car – In 3 Simple Steps

If you want to sell your used car by yourself and have a good selling experience, then you are going to need to do some work before listing your vehicle online. By the way, selling your car online is much easier than you might think. First of all make your vehicle presentable and desirable. You want it to look good for the new owners. Being honest with the buyers about the vehicle will help give you a pleasant experience, and get the most for your vehicle.
1. Check the NADA book and the Kelley blue book to see what your vehicle is worth. You can find these resources online and they are free. Once you get values from these sources go to Cars.com and AutoTrader.com and see what similar vehicles like yours are selling for online. By comparing the market value you will know how to price your vehicle for a quick and speedy sale. Remember to take into account the conditions of your vehicle, mileage, car condition (worn seats, carpet, etc.) and any work the car may need. You can also take into account any work that you have put into the car. Once you have established a value it is time to move on to the next step.
2. Get your car ready to show and sell. Empty out all your stuff and have the car professionally detailed or do it yourself. A clean car will sell much faster and easier than one that looks like it has been lived in for the last six months. A clean car can also command a higher price.
3. You are now ready to list your car online. You can put it on Cars.com, AutoTrader.com or Craigslist. These are three of the most popular automobile sites today. Be honest with your description of the vehicle and give as much information as possible. Remember, if you don’t have all the information in your description, it is much easier for someone to click off your car and go to the next one; then it is to contact you and ask a question. Make sure you put pictures of your car with the ad. Cars with pictures get more clicks than cars with no pictures. Everyone likes to see what they are buying. Read the rest of this entry »
