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

A car is a fairly big purchase so people are prepared to travel a reasonable distance to purchase one. This is why advertising online is so great, people from other states will be able to see your car listing  and may consider visiting you to have a look. Increasing the number of potential buyers will hopefully decrease the time it takes to sell your car. Online advertising is also pretty cheep, some sites offer to list the car until it sells which no newspaper would consider doing.  If you list your car on Ebay Motors be prepared to have buyers from California to Maine and Texas. 

Ebay Motors is an incredible medium for gaining customers whom would never have seen your vehicle in your local paper or parked at a shopping mall with for sale stickers on it.  An online listing, like Ebay, will give you a chance to really showcase your car or truck.  You can upload several pictures and give its entire history.  You can even paste your Carfax report in the listing – talk about putting your customers at ease.  One of the greatest aspects of Ebay Motors is your buyers will buy most of the time without even a test drive.  So there is no effort on your part beyond creating a compelling listing which is very easy to do.

Don’t be a cheapskate when it comes to selling your car, you should be prepared to spend at least $75 to properly sell your car. There is no shortage of used cars, and I’ll bet some are just like yours. You need to get the word out there that your car is for sale! Make your car stand out.  Advertising on the internet is much better than in papers, for a start you can give useful information. Newspapers limit you on word count and so it’s very difficult to cram everything in! Also on the internet you can choose premium listing packages which will give you more exposure, build greater trust by the consumers, and basically add more money to your sales price or greatly increase the likelihood of a successful sale (you do need to understand some cars like recently new and in great shape with low miles will always sell faster and for much more money than for instance a 16 year old car with 200,000 miles on it – be realistic).

Make sure your car looks nice before you sell it, spend time cleaning it, vacuum inside and wax the paint work. Replace any dead bulbs and fuses. Buyers want to see that the car has been taken car of, if they start to notice little things that you haven’t done then they will wonder what else you haven’t done.  On newer cars a professional car detail is worth every penny.  The car detailers rule is that for every $1 you spend detailing your car or truck, you will get at least $3 back out of in the form of a higher price.  So, for instance, if you spend $100 on a good detail, you will end up selling your car for at least $300  more – that’s a good investment if you ask me (older cars will probably not recoup this money so a wash, wax and vacuum is all that is necessary).

It is also a good idea to get any small dents or nicks and scratches taken care of.  Many dents and dings can be professionally removed by paintless dent repair services for around $50.  Nicks and scratches can be touched up either professionally or with a small touch up bottle which you can get from your local car dealer, car parts store or even Walmart in their automotive section (the dealer will probably charge 3 times more, so I would probably go to Walmart).  By having the dents, dings and scratches removed you further increase the value of your car.  Just ask yourself if you would rather have a car with some dings and scratches or one without them.  Which car would you pay more for? Pay less for?
