When I wanted to sell my car fast, I knew there was something extra I would need to do in order to make a quick sale. It didn’t mean I had to put in a lot of extra effort, it was just the simple things that made it a much better process for both parties involved.
So how did I do it? Firstly, everyone loves a bargain, so add $500 to whatever price you want for your car. Why is this? It’s so when you begin to haggle over the price, you can drop the price down the level you initially wanted to sell the car for anyway.
The buyer walks away feeling like he scored a great price and you get the price you wanted anyway. Whenever anyone says to me, “Hey, I want to sell my car fast”, this is the very first thing I tell them to do. People will often buy on the spot because they don’t want to pass up a good buying opportunity.
Second of all, I wrote up a clear and simple history of the vehicle. I detailed how many km’s were on the odometer and how long I had owned the vehicle for. Make mention that you’ve kept it in great working order and have had it serviced regularly.
People really want to know the finer details, so don’t be afraid to include extra information in your advertisement. I also mentioned the fact I had recently replaced the old tyres and that registration had only just been paid for. These 2 things alone can go along way to help you sell your car fast just like I did.
Finally, don’t put too much sales pressure on potential buyers and don’t ever hold a vehicle for someone unless they’re prepared to put down a non-refundable deposit on the car.
Of note; if you have a car loan product called a Novated Lease, the car finance company will buy the car back form you instantly!
