Preparing the Car
Whichever method of sale you choose, you want to ensure prospective buyers form a good first impression of your car.
Writing the Ad
When writing the ad to sell your car, take into account where the ad will appear.
Terms and Abbreviations
The following terms and abbreviations are commonly used in car advertisments.
Preparing for Enquiries
Before placing your ad, do a little preparation so you are ready to field enquiries about the car and know what you want to tell prospective buyers.
Prospective Buyers
Don’t crowd a prospective buyer - by all means sell the good points of the car but stand back and let them look the car over for themselves.
Negotiating the Sale
By this stage you should have a fairly good idea of what the car is worth.
Sealing the Deal
Once you’ve found someone willing to buy the car, put the agreed deal in writing.
Payment
When selling your car, the recommended payment method is to go with the buyer to a bank branch to make an electronic transfer directly to your account.
Delivering the Vehicle
Once you’ve sold the car and it has been delivered to its new owner you need to notify your insurer and cancel the insurance policy. Your insurer may provide you with a refund of the unused portion of your premium.
