As any previous car owner would agree, one of the worst things about trying to sell my car is dealing with people who come, kick the tyres a few times then leave having wasted half an hour of my time and I’m stuck still needing to sell my car, but no closer to actually being able to sell my car. When I make the decision to sell my car and get a new one, it’s important to start looking for a genuine buyer as soon as possible – especially considering the fact that it can often take several viewers before I am able to sell my car. In most cases I, like many other car owners, would not be able to buy a new car until I manage to sell my car I have at the time.

One technique I use when I sell my car is to answer the “car wanted” ads on online classified websites or in the relevant section in a local newspaper. This is a a generally overlooked way to sell my car because most people just advertise advertise their car and don’t think that they could benefit from being the ones to do the approaching. The key to this article is about finding genuine buyers to sell my car to and you can rest assured that if they are actively seeking and advertising to find people like me looking to sell my car, they are likely to be serious buyers. The sort of places that you will find these types of adds are generally the same sorts of places I would be attempting to sell my car. The downside is that this is a more time consuming way to sell my car, so if I am particularly busy for whatever reason I may choose to simply place the advertisement saying I wish to sell my car and let the buyers do the chasing!

An easier and potentially safer way of selling a car would to sell my car directly to a used car dealer rather than to sell my car to a private buyer. There are companies both large scale and smaller local dealers who would be interested in individuals such as myself who is hoping to sell my car and looking to do it quickly. The downside is that you may not get as much as you potentially could do for it as obviously the dealer needs to make a profit but if I was wanting to sell my car as soon as possible this can be a quick way to for me to do so. The other benefit is that if I was to sell my car to a dealer, it is likely that I could have the cash in my hand there and then. As long as the car is in decent working order (and in some cases even if it’s not!), I would be able to sell my car to the dealers and whilst not getting the best price, would be able to deal with it all in the space of just a few hours. I would also have the option to exchange or part-exchange for other cars the dealer has.

When selling a car there are some very important factors that should be considered for one to be successful. There comes a point in every car owners life when they ask that all important question; do I need to sell my car and more who will buy my car? Some of the cars that are owned by lots of people often end up being a liability rather than a benefit. Different cars serve for different periods of time based on their use, the build quality as well as the maintenance, but it’s inevitable for a car to break down and thus in the long run the car will need to be sold to avoid a zero return for your car purchase.

There are different ways in which a car owner might get rid of their car, but most people choose to sell the car themselves regardless of all the I want to sell my car today thoughts running through your head on day one of your efforts. It is quite possible to get someone to buy your car if you use the most effective marketing routes, but some people who make bad decisions on the resources to sell their car often end up spending unnecessary funds in an effort to sell their vehicle.  Some of the most common options that an individual looking to sell their car has include local and national papers and publications, online advertising sites and ecommerce platforms. Different resources have different advantages to the seller and also pose different challenges.

The other option that one may have is to sell a car to a dealer or make an agreement with the dealer to sell their car on your behalf (strictly speaking I wanted to sell my car, as I thought I could give the most honest detail to the merits of the vehicle rather than a general overview of its condition and specification). This is including a third person in the sale of the vehicle and often to the seller of the vehicle it means less money in your pocket on conclusion of the sale of your vehicle. Some dealers may be more expensive than others while others may have restrictions on the cars they accept for sale leaving one with a limited number of dealers willing to help in selling the car. Sometimes the cars might be so old that one sells them to dealers at a throw away price, this may depend on a number of variables, but in most cases sales to the dealer are often done if one is limited on the amount of time one has designated for the sale.

Including the third person in the sale of the car is a quite tricky resolve, one which is not as recommendable in some situations. The third party in the deal usually adds an extra task to the car owner since they now have to make decisions on the type of dealer to choose. Different car dealers will have different terms some of which may not be friendly to the car seller.

Depending on the area where one is located there are different resources that one can use to sell their car, but the best and most financial rewarding method is to sell your car yourself. One of the reasons why the sale should be done by the owner is that they know the cars pros and cons and can easily answer any questions on the car that might be posed by the potential buyer. So, when the time comes when one asks ‘how do I sell my car?’, and then the best answer might be not to include any third party as then you can state  “When it came to sell my car, i got the maximum price possible for it without the need for a third party”
