Where to sell your car
There has never been as much variety as there is now, when it comes to advertising your car. The trade in or part exchanges has already been mentioned in the introduction, but if you decide to sell privately then there are plenty of ways to sell your old car.
1. Online. It is usually cheaper to advertise your car online while the target audience is potentially massive. To advertise on DropAGear.com for example costs just £5 for a premium advert whilst standard adverts are free. Not only this, but your advert will be seen by millions of potential buyers.
2. Local or national newspaper. If it is an ordinary car that is not worth a large amount of money then people will not be inclined to travel very far to buy it. Regional or local newspapers are better off here and only go national if it is a highly valuable car.
3. On the roadside or parked on pavement. Depending on where you live and how noticeable you can make the car, this may be a good choice. Do not leave it causing an obstruction because it could get towed away and you will be fined.
4. Online car auctions. You can make the choices on the terms and conditions, which is why this has become an increasingly popular method. You can set a reserve price as well as an end date, but the only problem is that there are a lot of timewasters out there so be prepared for the hassle. The best thing about online auctions is that they can attract large amount of audiences and the seller's costs are therefore very low.
5. At the dealers. Used car dealers are always looking for very good car examples and so if you have got a car they might be interested in selling, then they will buy it from you. You will not get as much money for it as you would have selling it privately, but it will be a quick and a hassle-free sale.
