Sell Your Car Online

By: Louis Rix

If you are looking to sell your car, then you could get a better deal by selling your old car online as opposed to trading it in with a dealer. However, if you are thinking of taking this course of action, there are some things you should be aware of and which you need to know. Here are some great tips and advice to help you get the best deal and price for your car.

The first thing you should take into account is how much is your car worth. You dont want to put it up for sale overpriced but you also dont want to lose out. There are many ways you can use the internet to your advantage. One of the easiest ways is to make a search of sites listing used cars for the same make, model and age car you have.

This will give you a good idea as to what sort of price you should be looking for.

Give your car a thorough clean both inside and out or have it professionally valeted if you are too lazy! A clean, shiny car will sell a lot easier than one that looks neglected and dirty. All online used car sites which list cars will want you to upload at least one photo and preferably more. So take your time and make your car gleam, showing it off at its best will increase the chances of you selling it.

Boast about your cars best features. For example, if your car has particularly low mileage then let people know; if you have added extras such as sun roof, car stereo or anything else then make sure these are clearly outlined in the advertisement. If it has had just one owner, then say so. This is always a good selling point.

Finally, remember that people interested in your car will want to come and look at it and take it for a test drive. So make sure you list when you are available, clearly stating the best times.
