How to sell your car fast and for the most money possible in Charlotte, NC

Maybe you have an extra car.  Or have high car insurance from speeding tickets or a DUI.  Maybe a loved one passed away and left you with an extra vehicle.  Regardless of why you have an extra car, There are loads of different ways you can sell your car.  You could advertise it the traditional way and stick it in the classifieds section of the newspaper (this is very expensive and tends to be the least fruitful).  You could be a computer wiz and advertise it on the internet (with the advent of Ebay motors and Autotrader you don’t need much internet knowledge anymore), you can sell a car privately or to a main dealer (this is generally a bad option as they will only give you wholesale prices at best), you could partly exchange or trade your car, and you could even donate your extra car to charity (good for the tax write off – albeit the IRS now limits you to the actual wholesale value of the vehicle).

The internet is quickly becoming the favored way of locating used cars and buying or selling used cars, there’s so much choice online and it’s really easy to have a look. The best thing is there is no pressure (unlike car dealerships where they will do everything possible to sell you a car even if it doesn’t meet your needs).  Don’t just limit yourself to advertising in newspapers, without the internet you might find it very difficult to sell your car. Besides newspaper ads tend to attract wholesalers trying to “steal” your car with a low bid and they know how to pressure you to sell your car as they do it all the time (tip – never respond to an ad that says best price or top dollar for your car – it is placed by a wholesaler whom wants to get your car for the lowest price possible).  The internet is the new in sales avenue for cars and trucks.  The problem is that there are so many used car sites online, so how do you know which one to advertise with.

Well you don’t know for certain which sites people will look at, so it’s best to advertise with all the sites that are popular. Have a look on the internet review sites to decide which sites are popular at the moment and submit adverts to all of those.  You will probably find two or three that stand out like Ebay Motors and Autotrader.  This is where millions of people are currently listing their vehicles for sale.  You can also get a great idea of what they are actually selling for on Ebay Motors by searching the completed sales.  This will give you a great idea of what your car is actually worth.

You will always get more money if you sell your car privately than to one of the car dealers. This is because car dealers will only put the actual wholesale value on your car at best (many car dealers and used car managers will attempt to “steal” a trade by under bidding on it especially with unsuspecting customers.  On average dealers give $3000 - $4000  less than fair market value for any car that’s under 4 years old.  You will always fair better to circumvent the dealer, even if you were going to trade in your car. Go online and find out what people are willing to pay for your car, you will probably be surprised, especially if you received a buy or trade in figure from a car dealership.
