Advertise on social media platforms or promote through local ads.
- Focus on making the car look immaculate inside and out, private buyers will inspect the car from top to bottom, checking for any possible defects. They can ask for car history and all maintenance details.
- Keep your service log book and Warrant of Fitness (WOF) up to date
Dealer trade or sale?

Care for servicing of car

Be confident of your sales pitch
Seller should prepare a sales speech that is genuine implies not like tv advertisement but it should be reflecting your confidence of good condition of your car.
Include information like when you bought the car, what your favorite feature is about the car and how well maintained the car is. Keep it simple and be prepared to answer any questions the buyer or dealer must ask.
Right price valuation
Research more n more while buying or selling new and used car for sale. Whether you’re selling privately or through a dealer, it’s good to get an idea of what your car is valued at. You can look for other cars of a similar make, model and age at dealerships or online to see what they’re selling for. You can also use online car valuation tools to get an estimate.
It’s all about the bells and whistles. Your cars valuation really depends on things like the model year, kilometers and added features like air conditioning, 20-inch mag wheels, transmission and colour – to name a few.
Understand the buyer
Always shop around. Don’t feel pressured to sell your car to the first interested buyer or trade in to the first dealer you visit.
When selling privately, make sure you get the contact details and a form of ID from the perspective buyer. If they want to test drive the vehicle, go along for the ride, and check with your insurance company that your policy covers the test drive. When handing over, make sure you have been paid in full before transferring ownership of the car.
