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

Previous page

Now, lets spend a moment to talk about fraud as it is becoming a growing problem in the U.S. and elsewhere.  Scam artists are out to make a quick buck and they can make thousands fast off you and your car.  So be wary. When selling your car be very cautious if you get handed a cashiers check. These are not as good as money, there are hundreds of counterfeit cashier checks in circulation. You won’t know the check is fake until you try to deposit it into your bank account, just think how sick you’ll feel when you realise that your car has been stolen and the check bounces. Even some dealers have been conned with this method, that’s why some dealers want you to fill out a credit application, just in case your finance doesn’t work out.  This way they can find you if they need to. 

Watch out for counterfeit money also.  $100, $50 and even $20 bills have increasingly been counterfeited, so it is a good idea to buy a counterfeit identifying pen at your local Target, Walmart or similar as insurance.  These pens only cost around $4 and they will assure you that the cash you receive is good.  Be wary if the buyer looks shady and acts really weird – this could indicate that they are up to no good.  Never hand over keys for a test drive without having removed all house keys and others.  Yes, thieves will take a key off when you are not looking and then visit your house later when you are not home and rob you.  This has and does happen so be careful.  This is why the internet and Ebay Motors are becoming so popular.  You can rule out most cases of fraud by eliminating people with bad feedback scores and a bad history.

Regardless of what avenue or methods you enlist to help you sell your car, there’s a few tips that you should always use.  Get a Carfax or similar history report and have copies available for prospective buyers.  Get the car detailed if it is a newer or more expensive model.  If it is a older or high mileage vehicle get it washed, waxed and clean it out (vacuum).  Get dings, nicks and scratches taken care of (this is not as important on older, high mileage vehicles or rough work trucks).  Be prepared for fraud by getting a counterfeit indicator pen and be being alert.  Research your car online to see what its true value is and then sell it for the most money possible.  Good luck.
