subject: Sell Car On Internet Auctions [print this page] Selling car over the internet has become a common phenomenon. Nearly on every site we find advertisements regarding something or the other being sold. Another way of making use of the internet to sell car is internet auctions. Alot of people go for this method.
You will have to look for a list of sites that have auction facilities. A lot of people try auction while selling cars as they get good cars at a profit. But before putting you car up for an online auction, do enquire everything about the website. This will reduce the chances of you getting cheated. Check for their authenticity. Check whether the site is secured or not. Being a little conscious while selling your car will not do any harm.
Trying putting you car for an internet auction, you will need to add a description about the car. Be true while mentioning the condition of the car. Mention its year of purchase, model of the car, condition of the tyres, paint etc and also the selling amount. The less you lie in your description, the better are the chances for you to make a sale. This is because when the buyer comes to check the car and finds that the description details were all false, then it is only a disappointment for him and you will end up loosing the deal.
Again , an added advantage here is that you do not have mention your address, name and phone no. before the auction is over and you have a buyer. So all the calls for your car all the time and people coming over to check your car now and then will not be there. So in short you peacefully sell your car.
If you need minor repairs in your car before selling it, then do it. Till it is not a heavy investment in your car, it is always ok to spend a little on your old car. This will make its sale even easier. Clean your car before the buyer comes and checks you car after the auction. Check under the seats. Vacuum it if you have time. A car in good condition will make a good impression on the buyer. The best about auctions is that you do not have to negotiate regarding the selling price anymore. It all done in the auction only. The highest bidder wins and is committed to pay the price.
Internet auctions also save you from the auction or open house you do in your house for the car. You do not have to send invites to people to come and attend the auction. Anyone can take part in an internet auction. You just need to be a user of the site which is obviously free. But the seller may be charged some amount by the website which holds this internet auction for your car.
