subject: How To Make Cash For My Old Car [print this page] Unsure of what to do with the old car sitting in your garage? For you it may just junk but you think wisely it may be of alot more worth that you think. The first thing that you might do to get rid of your old junk is to sell it of to the nearest garage as soon as possible with whatever money he is ready to give. Just stop here. You may be doing a huge mistake. Being a little patient with a little research always helps in getting a better resale value.
Without giving much thought, people generally give off their to the scrap metal dealers. This is biggest mistake. If you have kept the car so long, then why not wait a little more to get a fair deal.
There may be chances that your old car will be in running condition. So in this case giving it to the scarp dealer is stupid. If the car is in a really bad shape or has met with an accident and will cost you a fortune to repair even then you could be better than giving it to the scrap metal dealers.
Getting cash for car can be a little tricky, but a little research will help. You can always sell your car parts separately. The car stereo, fan, rim, tyres etc only will give you a decent money back. But it is true that working man might not have the time and patience to pull out all these things and then sell them separately. This may be a good idea for a student maybe.
If your car is not in a very bad shape and with a little repair it will be in a good running state, then spending a little cash on its repair does not sound like a bad idea. With a little repair, you will definitely get better cash for you car.
In case youre not interested in spending even a penny on your car, then advertisements over the internet may help. You can post advertisements in the classifieds too. Be ready for people to call up for their enquiries etc. Always remember whom to target to sell your car. Students are always a good catch. They will never have the money for a new car. Hence, you always persuade a student in buying your car. But also, do not fool your buyers. Keep your car clean when you are trying to make a deal.
You could organise an auction for your car too. This is generally a time taking process. You will have to invite people to the auctions and obviously the ones in need of a car will only turn up.
Research here there before selling your car. Get your car estimated by a professional. You could also make use of the blue book to estimate your car. Do not lie about the condition of the car. Even if a little spending gives you good cash, do it.
