So, we have presented here some tips/suggestions that will help you get make the maximum profit by selling your car to the dealer in the best price.
Price your car as per the market standards
Before you decide to price your car at a particular rate, search the price of used cars similar to yours on the internet. This will give you a fair idea as to what price to expect by selling your car. The reason for doing this is, if you price your car at a high rate then you will have a tough time selling your car, and if you price it too low, then it will raise doubts in the mind of a buyer. In case you have priced it low due to repair or damage caused by an accident, mention it clearly in the vehicle description.
Give the car a new look as far as possible
Give your car a shine before you sell it. Clean the car both inside as well as outside and make sure that there is no road dirt in your car tire. If you cannot clean the car by yourself then give it to the professional cleaners. If there are any minute repairs then do those as well. If the paint is looking too dull then repaint the car. The car must have a well maintained look if you do not want the dealer to point out these minute flaws while negotiating the price.
Take a photo of the car
Take various photos of the car from different angles. These photos will include shots of interior, exterior, tires, odometer, trunk etc. Even if there are problem areas do not exclude them as you have to be honest to the car dealers to whom you are selling the car. Different pictures taken will help you get potential customers/car dealers/used car dealers to whom you can sell your car.
Describe your car in detail
It is important that you give the detailed description of your car before selling it. The details will include repair and maintenance record, accident records (if any), the date when you purchased the car, other details like insurance and the date when you purchased the spare parts and things like this. Giving such details will attract customers and you will not have to waste further time in telling the details to every buyer.
When you are prepared with all these details it will help you sell the car in the easiest way and at a fair price. If the car dealers offer you a lower price, that what you have quoted, then you have all the valid reasons that you can say to get a high price. Finally you will sell your car only when you and the buyer agree on the same price.
Follow these basic rules so that you can smoothly sell your old car and get the maximum money.
