There comes a time in the life of every car owner when, for whatever reason, a car needs to be sold. Let's consider a standard situation when the car is on the move, without encumbrances, without problems with deregistration.
The whole process of selling a car can be divided into the following 3 stages:
Let's consider each stage in more detail.
The first stage is the pre-sale preparation of the car
In order to sell a car, it is necessary to give it a "presentation". To do this, you need to wash the car, if necessary, you can resort to polishing. If there is damage to the car body, then you should choose one of the options:
The buyer may be frightened off by a fresh paint job. He may think that the car was in an accident, but the owner chose to hide this fact. Also, do not clean the engine, as this may lead the buyer to the idea of a major overhaul.
The car interior must be neat and clean. Flavors can be used. Interior cleanliness and pleasant smell will help to increase the percentage of the car sale transaction.
If the car is still serviced by an authorized dealer, the buyer should present evidence, that is, show the acceptance certificates and paid receipts. This will help raise the status of the product in the eyes of the buyer.
If there are any problems during the operation of the car, you should fix them yourself. This is due to the fact that when concluding a transaction, the buyer can request a discount of several tens of thousands, while, if this problem was resolved on its own, it could cost only a few thousand.
An important point when selling a car is determining the transaction price. The price of a car depends on its mileage, problems, storage. To roughly navigate the price, you should use the Internet. Please note: if you set a slightly lower price, there is an option that the car will sell faster.
The second stage is the search for a buyer
Here you can offer three options:
The first option is the simplest and most profitable, since the car can be sold at the maximum cost. But there are also disadvantages: you can become a victim of fraud on the part of buyers; long and uncomfortable process.
Advantages of the second option: the method is not costly, but at the same time it is quite effective. Cons: The success of a car sale depends on the competitiveness of the offer and the number of similar ads.
Advantages of the third option: absolutely not a costly method, the buyer has the opportunity to make sure whether it is worth responding to the ad, without wasting his time and the seller's time. Cons: Finding a buyer can take a long time.
The third stage is the conclusion of a car sale transaction
If there are people willing to buy a car, schedule a meeting. Do not be intrusive when inspecting your car. Calmly answer questions. Do not say all the information at once, it should be presented gradually. If the buyer asks to postpone the conclusion of the deal for the sale of the car for some time and asks to hold it, it is worth taking a cash deposit from him against receipt. This will help avoid cheating.
When the seller and the buyer are ready to complete the transaction, it is necessary to go to the traffic police to remove the car from the register. Then draw up a sales contract and pay.
And the last thing. If you do not want to waste time and delve into the intricacies of selling a car, you can entrust it to official dealers or car dealerships. But then you have to pay a commission.
