Selling Tips

Search used car listings for the pricing of same model cars.
Research Dealership pricing.

Effective Advertising 
Photos of your vehicle should be as clear as possible, preferably taken during day under plenty of sunlight. Include a variety of shots to visually describe your vehicle to potential buyers as much as possible.
All amenities that your vehicle includes such as sunroof, heated seats, alloy wheels and many others should be included. Don’t forget to include other features in different categories such as safety, efficiency and comfort that also will help you sale the vehicle faster.  

Is the car still under finance? Are there any mechanical unresolved issues requiring attention? Those are some of the other items worth including in your ad to help selling the vehicle.

How to find the Buyer
Make sure you provided current contact details. Also consider your availability during the selling period. You may have to include additional telephone numbers to increase your chances. Include other contact details, such as e-mail address. Be as honest as possible when answering buyer’s enquiries. You should encourage potential buyer to have a look and test-drive your vehicle.
