10 Tips for Selling a Used Car Online
Today's site, from the folks at the long-running How Stuff Works, offers this
handy guide from their automotive section with suggestions on how to sell a car
online. Gentle Subscribers thinking of unloading their old clunkers will find
helpful advice in this article.
"Selling your used car has never been easier (or potentially more lucrative)
thanks to the Internet. ... If you take your car to a dealer, they're just
going to turn around and sell it. To maximize his profit, he'll offer you less
money. Listing your car online exposes it to a wider audience, which means more
people who will potentially want to buy it. Selling a car online isn't without
pitfalls, however. Here are ten tips that will help you sell your car online
like a pro." - from the website
Down to earth information is the theme of this useful article on selling a
vehicle. Acting as a step-by-step guide, it contains nothing particularly
startling in terms of how to make a sale, yet it systematically walks the
seller logically through the entire process, from readying the car for
prospective buyers, to details to cover in the ad copy. How to determine a
reasonable asking price, where to list the vehicle online, and the importance
of clear photos are among the points presented in an orderly sequence. One
small item which might be overlooked by many sellers is the advice to include
an interior photo of the dashboard, with the engine running, so that the
absence of warning indicator lights is apparent.
