HOW TO SELL YOUR CAR. FAST!
by Buddy Evans, Vice President of Big Bucks Auto™
There are times when one needs to reconcile their financial obligations. One of the quickest and surest ways to obtain money in a timely fashion is by selling your car. There are many ways to sell your used car:
- online
- through classified ads
- putting a sign on your car’s back seat window
- going to a used car dealer
- selling your car to an authorized car buyer
By doing just a little bit of homework, you can be sure you’re getting the best deal possible – whether selling on your own, or selling your car to a used car buyer like Big Bucks Auto™. The goal is to get the most for your money.
Big Bucks Auto™ is an industry leading car buyer that can give you the most for your money and remove all the hassles and challenges of selling your used car.
Used Car Values – Evaluating Your Car Before Selling It
- Research the market for the car you want to sell. If it's a popular make and model, you could sell your car quickly. If your car is not all that in demand, you might need to do a little extra research to find the best markets for your particular car.
- Know the popularity and desirability of the make and model of the car you want to sell.
- Take the time to research the going rate for your car.
- Read used car reviews online.
- Look up used car ratings and find out if your car is a top seller.
Only then will you know how much you can sell your car for and the most reliable place where to sell your car.
For up to date information car buyers like Big Bucks Auto™ can provide you with a free car appraisal that will let you know your used car’s value perfectly.
Know the Asking Price for Your Car
Knowledge and research are the keys to deciding your asking price. Your asking price will always be higher than your selling price.
Visiting a professional car buyer like Big Bucks Auto™ for a free sales price appraisal will tell you exactly what is fair for a selling price.
To research asking prices:
- Read classified ads for comparable vehicles or search for sites online that include phrases such as sell your car, used cars, used car dealers, used car reviews and used car ratings.
- Keep in mind using the Kelley Blue Book for pricing your car can be misleading. Sales prices will always be lower.
- You can also use Edmonds.com and other car appraisal sites to figure out your car’s value for asking prices.
Once you find out the basic price range for your car, you will also need to consider:
- Mileage – check and log your odometer reading
- Condition – fix those pings and dents
- Improvements - did you buy new set of high-end tires? Was your transmission recently changed? When was the most recent tune-up? Any enhancements to your car can increase its value. And, be sure you have the paperwork and receipts to show the buyer.
Once you have decided on the price you want to sell your car for, remember that a fair sales price will be slightly lower.
Big Bucks will confirm that fair sales price.
Prepare Your Car for Sale
- Clean the car thoroughly.
- Detail your car if you have to, and replace small worn out parts if need be.
- Clean out the trunk, ashtrays and glove compartment.
- Vacuum the interior and wash and wax the body. You want to make the car shine!
Starting to sound like a LOT of work? Well, it can be. Call Big Bucks Auto™, and sell your car for what it’s worth – fast!
Necessary Paperwork for Selling Your Car
- Contact your state’s DMV and find out the requirements for title transfer and license plate removal once you sell your car.
- Contact your auto insurance company and let them know that you sold your car – you surely don’t want to pay insurance on a car you don’t own
- If you bought the car with a bank loan, contact your bank or loan officer before you sell your car.
Decide Where to Sell Your Car
There are a host of methods for selling a used car.
- You could put a “Car for Sale” sign on your car window and hope you get legitimate response – however, chances are you wont.
- An ad in your local paper or community bulletin board might bring a lot of strange people to your home, with only a few potential real buyers.
- You could try to sell your car online and end up dealing with people hundreds of miles away.
- Selling your car to a broker usually works, however, you do have to pay a brokers fee.
