How To Sell A Car On Your Own

I recently upgraded my old car to a newer model, and I have to admit, I was completely lost at first. Fortunately, a friend with experience stepped in to help me out. Thanks to his guidance, I managed to sell my old car within a month, and it worked out great!

You might wonder why I didn’t just go through a dealership. Well, the answer is simple.  Selling the car myself allowed me to earn significantly more. That extra cash has been a fantastic boost to my savings and financial goals. It’s definitely worth the effort!

So, if you’re considering selling your car on your own, here’s what I did to make it a successful process!

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

Here’s an overview of the steps : 

1. Set an Asking Price :  Compare similar listings and use tools like KBB for valuation.

2. Gather Paperwork : Title, bill of sale, vehicle history report, warranty documents, and “as-is” note.

3. Clean Your Car : A detailed, clean car gets better offers.

4. Advertise : Take good photos, write a detailed description, and post on sites like eBay Motors, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace.

5. Prepare for Buyers : Screen inquiries and arrange safe meetings.

6. Test Drive & Inspection : Meet in public, bring a friend, and answer questions confidently.

7. Negotiate : Avoid down payments and installment offers.

8. Finalize Sale : Complete paperwork, transfer the title, file release of liability if needed, and hand over the keys.
