Sell your car can be a time-consuming and challenging process. It requires research into the vehicle’s value and preparation of sale documents. It also requires you to meet buyers at a safe location for a test drive and sales transaction. It is possible to save yourself a great deal of hassle and expense by taking the right steps in advance.

Many people skip important steps when selling their car. For example, they may neglect to wash their car or remove personal belongings from the vehicle. This can negatively impact the price you receive for your car. In addition, they may not take the time to write a compelling description that highlights the vehicle’s value. A good description includes the year, make and model of your car along with mileage, transmission type and body style/category. It also lists any add-ons that increase the value of your car.
Some people will try to lowball you with an initial offer, especially if they’re experienced car buyers or dealership salespeople. It’s a strategy to make you feel uncomfortable and shake your confidence in the price you’ve set for your car.
Be prepared to counteroffer. You should also be ready to walk away from the sale if you’re not comfortable with the person or the terms of the transaction. Finally, it’s a good idea to have your mechanic inspect the car before you sell it. This way you can provide the buyer with a copy of the inspection report in case the sale falls through.
