(How to Guide)
Selling Your Car Yourself or Let Naples Automotive
Group Sell it For You !!!!
Selling a car on your own is good insurance that you'll obtain top dollar, and it may
be your only option if you are buying your next vehicle through a private-party sale.
But be aware of the work involved. Prepping your vehicle for sale will take time, and
depending on its condition may also cost you some money. Honestly assess the
car's condition, and then decide how much you want to spend on minor repairs,
always remembering the liability involved with a private-party sale. Be sure to fix
things well enough to avoid running into possible legal troubles farther down the
road.
Once the vehicle has been cleaned and repaired, you'll need to determine what it's
worth. All of the dealers interviewed by MSN Autos suggested using Kelley Blue
Book values as a starting point. By looking at both the trade-in and suggested
retail values listed by Kelley for your car, you can determine an asking price
somewhere between them. Also check your local newspaper's classifieds, and
newsstand publications containing used-car ads in order to determine local
market pricing. Look for listings of vehicles similar to yours and compare their
asking prices. Using multiple sources helps assure that you arrive at a fair and
realistic asking price.
The next step is to advertise and field phone calls. Since most private party
vehicles are sold through local classifieds or used-car publications, start by
placing ads in those but be prepared to advertise in multiple sources. Remember
to calculate the costs involved. If the car doesn't sell right away, make sure you can
afford to run ads for an extended period of time if necessary.
After the ads have been placed, remember to set aside time to answer phone
calls and meet interested parties for test drives. Prepare yourself for possible
scheduling hassles like multiple buyers wanting to see the car at the same time,
and for negotiating in general. How low a price will you really accept? How will you
handle competing offers and other dilemmas?
When you finally find a buyer and have the money in hand, the last step is to
transfer the title and registration, and cancel your insurance on the vehicle.
Selling Your Car on Consignment
A third, relatively trouble-free way to sell your car is through dealer consignment. In
this scenario, we will handle the sale of your car in exchange for a service fee for
$ 149.00 on the sale of the vehicle. It's then our responsibility to clean, display, and
sell your vehicle for a price you determine. This arrangement frees you from the
day to day hassles of selling the car on your own and almost always nets a higher
value than simply trading it in.
