There are many reasons you may want to sell a car. Some people will be looking to get a replacement but others might just need the cash. Someone replacing their car has the option to trade in at a local dealer but if you so not want to buy from that dealer or the deal is not good then there are other ways to get money for cars.

Local dealerships do often pay cash for a vehicle they can resell. This is a simple way to get the cash you need. They will probably want to inspect the car and drive it to see if it needs any work before the sell it on. As the dealership needs to make profit the offer they make will be less than if you sold it privately,

Another way to sell your car is to put it in an auction. The buyers will want to look over the car before bidding but a good vehicle is likely to get many bids. Once the bidding is complete the auction house will take their commission so factor that in to your sums. Also remember the car may not sell at all.

It is becoming increasingly popular to advertise vehicles for sale on the internet. There are a variety of sites offering this service and different advertising rates will apply. The cheapest option may not be the best so check out a few before making your final decision. One that is easy to find via search engines or is a well known site will get more traffic and you are more likely to get a sale.

Once you have decided to sell online take some photos showing various angles and make sure you out in all relevant information. Any extras you have added could make your vehicle more attractive than one similarly priced. Many of these sites allow the buyer to refine their search using a price band so think about which range you want to be in. If the site works on auction basis you can state the minimum you will accept so you do not sell at under its value.

If you have not idea what to ask for your vehicle then there are sites which will make you a cash offer based on the information you enter. To get an accurate quote be sure to put in the details accurately sand declare any damage which might affect the price. If you select a company the operates near you then you could accept their offer and do the deal with them.

Websites offering instant deals will still need to inspect your vehicle to make sure it is sound. Like any dealer they need to make a profit when they sell the car. This means you will not be offered the full value that you might achieve by selling direct to a private buyer.

The low technology option that requires more time and effort is to place advertisements in local papers or just put a sign in your car. Make sure the sign is not so big it will obscure your vision if you are still driving it around. Do not forget to add contact details and the price to the sign. This works well if you regularly drive to busy areas or many people pass your house. The downside is you need to make appointments for viewing and the process could take a long time.
