Vehicle Selling Tips

1
I remember the first time anyone in my family
sold their vehicle.
2
It was my older brother.
3
He had his Mazda 3 for about 6 years now, and was
looking to get a new vehicle.
4
He knew that he could a descent amount of money
for his Mazda 3 as a trade in to the dealership.
5
However, I was a little freaked out at the time.
6
How would my brother protect himself from any
less than reputable sells people who may not want
to offer him a fair value on his car?
7
My brother assured me that he had some tricks up
his sleeves to make sure that he received a fair
price for his car.
8
Years have passed since the transaction, and now
I will discuss the tips that every driver should
know in order to get the best trade in or sale
value for their automobile.
9
The first tip for selling your car is to know
everything about it.
10
This means knowing if there is any damage that
could hurt the resale value of the automobile.
11
This also means knowing if everything is in tip
top shape.
12
One way to do this is to gather any and all
maintenance receipts that you may have for the
car.
13
This will help you justify the price you want for
your car if a salesperson is skeptical about the
condition of the car.
14
The next tip for selling your vehicle is to
decide whether you want to trade the car in to
the dealership or sell it yourself to an
individual buyer.
15
The reason this is helpful is that it can save
drivers a lot of time and costs associated with
posting a listing to sell their car if the driver
decides to trade in the vehicle.
16
However, if a driver believes that this extra
time and effort is worth it, then selling their
car themselves can result in a higher price.
17
This can be around 15-25, which can be a hefty
penny.
18
Another tip for selling a vehicle is to properly
clean or detail the vehicle.
19
This includes making sure the lights, windshield,
brakes, tires are in pristine condition and look
the part.
20
Drivers should also make sure to have any dent,
dings, or scratches fixed before trying to sell
their car.
21
Tip number four is to set the asking price for
your car.
22
Drivers can easily ask for a higher price if
their automobile is still in warranty, especially
if the owner of the vehicle has kept up with
regular maintenance.
23
Drivers should keep it mind the amount of miles
that they have driven their vehicle.
24
The lower amount of miles put on the vehicle
equals a higher selling price.
25
With these tips drivers can work out the best
deal for themselves when selling their vehicle.
