Planning to sell your used car? Chances are you want to get the best price possible for your auto. If so, there are some tips and tricks that can help you get top-dollar when you sell your car.
SELL IT PRIVATELY: Selling your used car privately--rather than to an auto dealer--means you can ask a higher price. That's because most dealers want to make money, so they'll give you a lower price than you probably deserve. If you have the space, simply sit it in your yard with a "For Sale" sign. Other options include the local classified ads or even an online auction like eBay.
PRICE IT RIGHT: Check Kelley Blue Book to find out the value of your car based on make, model, year, extras and its condition. Ask for a little more than the listed value, since most buyers will try to negotiate for a lower price. You might also consider doing an Internet search to find out more about your car. If it's in high-demand, or if it's a model that tends to have a long lifespan, you may be able to command a higher price.
MAKE IT WORTH MORE: To really get the best price for your used car, try some tricks to give it a little more visual appeal. Clean it up--detail work is best--both inside and out. Patch up any holes or nicks in the vinyl or leather with a do-it-yourself repair kit. Make sure the windows shine and the inside smells clean and fresh. Scrub the tires and vacuum all the rugs, even the ones inside the trunk.
NEGOTIATE: When buyers express an interest in your used car, negotiate wisely. Price your vehicle to leave yourself a little wiggle room for negotiation. Chances are you'll have to drop your price a bit to interest buyers, but you shouldn't undersell yourself, either.
