Sell Your Car Quickly
By Thomas Pride
If you are facing repossession of your car, you may want to sell it to pay off the debt. If debt collectors are already banging down your door, you need to sell your car ASAP to avoid repossession. Here are some proven methods to get cash for your car quickly.
Price just below market value. Everyone loves a good deal, especially on a car. Consult the Kelley Blue Book to determine your cars value. Next, look at what other similar cars are going for in your area, and price your car just below theirs.
Conduct simple maintenance and repairs before listing your car for sale. This will add value to the car, and combined with your slightly less than market price, ensures your car will get picked up in no time. Keep records of repairs and maintenance to show your prospects.
Wash the car. This is so simple to do, yet so many sellers forget to do this. Let your car look its best!
Advertise through word of mouth. Tell everyone you know that you are selling your car at a good price. Either they will be interested themselves, or they may know someone who is.
Advertise on Craigslist. This website is the best place online to sell your stuff, and cars are certainly no exception. Be sure to include a photo of the vehicle and explain its benefits. For example, the car may only be a few years old, have low mileage for its age, has great gas mileage, etc. Be honest about its problems in the ad; otherwise your buyers won’t be as qualified when you meet them in person.
A final word of caution: meet with prospective buyers at a public location such as a grocery store parking lot or movie theater.
