Common Mistakes When Selling A Car

Selling a car might seem like a daunting task. There are a few options depending on your comfort level. But no matter what your selling preference may be, knowing a few common mistakes when selling your car might help prepare you on how to avoid them.

Not cleaning and preparing your car for sale. It is important to keep your car clean, no one wants to buy a dirty car. Don't forget to also vacuum the inside of your vehicle.

Not having your paperwork ready. Not having all your paperwork ready will slow down your car sale process. Make sure you have your car title and registration ready even before you begin the process of selling.

Making major repairs to the car. While making minor repairs to your lights, tires or brakes is a good thing, don’t pour hundreds of dollars into a vehicle that you’re planning on selling. The better strategy is to keep your car in good condition and to perform an oil change on a car you’re planning to sell so that potential buyers will see clean oil in the engine if they decide to check.

Giving into pushy buyers. As a car seller, you control the sale of your car. Don’t be pressured by the antics of a pushy buyer because at the end of the day, you want to make sure that you get good value out of your car sale.

Taking the first offer made to you, for your car. If you jump at a buyer’s first offer without making a counteroffer, you may be losing out on earning more money.
