subject: To Lease A New Car Then Here Are A Few Tips For Getting A Good Price For Your Previous Model [print this page] Making the preparations for a sale can be daunting, especially if you don't know much about cars and the industry and this can be made even worse if you are afraid of getting conned or of losing money. By this I mean, how exactly do you know what your car is worth?
Now some of the big problems have been identified, let me talk to through some the key ways to sell your old car and make a good return on the sale.
1) Firstly, you need to use the internet. In the past you may have put up a poster in the window or phoned the local paper and put in an ad, however in the 21st century that is just a good way to lose money. Although those methods may have been effective back in the day, nowadays the internet can help you find the right buyer and can even get buyers bidding for your old car.
2) Another benefit of the internet is that it can help you find a buyer from any town or city. You won't be limited but instead you will have no problem finding a buyer, whether they are from John O'Groats or Land's End.
3) If you are using a specific dealer find out if there are any fees or charges. If you look at a website then in most cases there is usually a standard fee with additional options for adding pictures, so take the time to familiarise yourself with the process before you sign-up.
4) Before asking a buyer to view the car, make sure you clean it. You can't afford to have a buyer put off by a dirty or smelly car, therefore it may be a good idea to hire a cleaning company to totally clean your vehicle. This procedure should be intense and should cover both the exterior and interior of the car.
5) The right accessories may convince someone to make an offer. A newly purchased CD player and speakers or DVD system should get buyers to love your car and even get them seeing the benefits of owning your old car.
6) However, if there is still no interest in the car then you still have a few options. This is because you can still make a little money from vehicle dealers or even scrap metal dealers.
- Car dealers or mechanics: Often mechanics or car dealers, with their own lot, are interested in inspecting older cars. They tend to purchase these cars for a low price and then just make a few of the necessary repairs and then sell them off to potential buyers at higher prices.
- Scrap Car Dealers: There will be plenty in your area and all you have to do is give them a call. They will book a time slot to view the car and then they will tell you the value of the mental. You then get your money from them once they pick up the car from your doorstep.
If you are lucky then this advice will help you to do the research and will be beneficial during the sale of your old car. You can then go on to lease a new vehicle, perhaps even take out a Chevrolet leasing deal and still have some left over money to put in the bank.
