Ways To Sell Your Car<\/h3>\r\n

You\u2019ll get the most for your car by selling privately. The next best option is a car-buying website and then a dealer part-exchange. Almost always you will get more for your car using a car buying website like we buy any car or sell my cars, but you do have to shop around. Main dealers are not that interested in your car, especially if its over 6 years old, and we all know you can get a better deal with cash to instantly buy your new car, privately or from a dealer.<\/p>\r\n

Maybe visit Nottingham.co.uk who publish a comprehensive listing of car dealers<\/a> in the Nottinghamshire area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Selling a car to Main dealer<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Part-exchange: The easiest way to sell your car is to trade it in when buying a new or used car from a dealer. You will get less for it than through a private sale, but you\u2019ll avoid the work and expense of advertising and dealing with enquiries and annoying people trying to buy it 30% cheaper than the advertised price, viewings and test drives, not to mention the endless phone calls. Your car\u2019s part-exchange value will be a little less than the price you\u2019d get if you sold your car outright to an online website. Selling outright to a used car dealer or garage is a relatively quick and simple process.<\/p>\r\n

The price you\u2019ll get will be based on the car\u2019s trade value and condition and service history so it won\u2019t be the best price possible. Car buying sites however have many avenues to re sell your car and you should be able to get more for your car but shop around prices can vary. By far the easiest way to sell your car, no stress or fuss but be warned, you will not get the best price for your car. For a little bit of effort it can reward you a lot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Selling a Car Privately<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Selling a car privately can be time-consuming, but you\u2019ll probably get a better price. Here\u2019s what you should do to Advertise your car to potential buyers, Use\u00a0Gumtree,\u00a0AutoTrader, Ebay or Facebook Market place for the best results you might be able to find a buyer among friends or their friends through social media or at work.<\/p>\r\n

Make sure you describe your car correctly in your advertisement and that you can prove you\u2019re its legal owner. Give as much information as you can. Deal promptly with calls or emails from potential buyers and don’t let them haggle you before they have seen the car. Arrange and be present at viewings and test-drives. Make sure you transfer the ownership over and ask to see their drivers license for poof of address. And always make sure you have cleared funds before going ahead with the sale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Online car buying sites<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

There are lots of online car buying sites that will offer to take the work out of selling a car. You enter your car\u2019s details on the company\u2019s website such as age and mileage, receive a valuation, and then you can call them, 90% of these companies will come to you so there is no hassle involved.<\/p>\r\n

If you do choose to sell your car online be aware that usually the online valuation is subject to a physical inspection of your car. If the inspection reveals some faults, the final valuation figure might be lower than the quote given, but also might be higher. You also might have to pay an administration fee for the service, but it only appears to be webuyanycar.com that does this.<\/p>\r\n

Recently new comparison websites have appeared like Motorway and Jamjar where you have to up load a detailed report of your car as well as pictures {if you miss anything you’ll be charged} They then put it out there to trade buyers and charge them \u00a3300 plus vat for that service, the Jury is out on these formats, if you want to go to so much work to sell it, our opinion is sell it privately and get more. Top Tip- Read the Reviews of the company.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
