Similar to fall,
spring is traditionally also a new-car season. But before several people head
for buying a new latest model vehicle, they like to first sell their previous
out-dated model that is resting in the garage. Most of the people aren’t aware
of the mistakes they make while selling their precious car which can eventually end them up in losing a lot of
money. These mistakes can be made by anyone even pros can also make such mistakes.
So here we have a list of 5 common mistakes which you should avoid when selling a your car or you will end up losing good money.
1. DON’T DISPLAY A DIRTY CAR
Well
nobody would want to buy a dirty car, selling a clean car is easier then
selling a dirty one it’s as simple as that. We are not only talking about a
simple wash and wax, but if you really want your car to sell off in good amount
then either you can polish, paint clean, interior shampoo it yourself, that
definitely is going to be free or you
can get someone do it for you which will not cost you more than £50. Either
ways when you present a clean car to the buyer it convinces them that your
vehicle is worth buying.
2. DON’T LIST YOUR CAR IN AN IRRATIONAL WAY
When
selling a car your prime focus should be on its advertisement. Pay attention
when you are creating an ad, don’t place your ad on those small place in local
newspapers ad section. If you are selling a special interest model then try
advertising it on forums relating to that car or you can create a photo gallery
of your car on the internet and add a link with every ad, plus you should
always remember this that there is someone out there who is desperately looking
for your car.
3. DON’T SELL YOUR AT THE INCORRECT TIME
For
several people car purchasing is not taken easily. You must be thinking that
selling of car doesn’t depend on the month or season, but in fact it does, try
not to sell your car in winter as buyers wouldn’t like to stay out long for
inspecting the car, don’t sell when it’s the start or the end of the month as
the bills are due and many people don’t have ready cash with them. And if you
have high-powered roadster then avoid selling it in bad weather or gloomy days
try to make cars like these look fun.
4. DON’T BE UNPREPARED TO DISPLAY IT TO BUYERS
Let me
sketch a nice picture for you: Richard car buyer is at your place to buy the car;
he has the license ready and is also prepared for a test drive. However, the
car is resting in the garage under a pile of junk. The kids are running and
screaming in the driveway, you have the records of the car but they are
somewhere inside the closet, you have Richard waiting for you in the lounge
while you search for the documents for like 30 minutes. A complete waste of
time for the buyer isn’t it? I think nobody will purchase a car in such an environment,
so the solution to this is that it’s better for you to stay prepared before the
buyer pays you a visit.
5. DON’T STEP BACK FROM SELLING YOUR CAR IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE LATENT BUYER
This is
the most common mistakes that sellers make. Many people think in this way that
they need to like the buyer when selling their car particularly if they have an
emotional attachment with it. It’s pretty weird. You are selling your car off
not finding a suitable suitor for it. If you get a potential buyer irrespective
of this that you don’t like him/her, what matters is the money so sell of the
car and if for some reason you are not satisfied then move on to the next
buyer.
