Regardless of where and how you are selling your car, there are a few things that you really need to get done. And, these things would determine if you would get a good price for your car or not.
The process might be having a little bit difference as where you are going to sell your car, i.e. privately to a dealer, to a company or online. But the tips mentioned below would stay the same.
The first thing that may come to your mind is whether you would get the right price for your car or not. You obviously would not want to sell your car as a low price. The best option would be to do research. Look for car online that is similar to yours and check the price being offered for the same and then set your quote in accordance to those prices.
Before giving the car for sale get all the documents that are linked to your car. Have them at a place that would be easy for you to locate later on.
The next thing that you may need to do is gather all the accessories of your car. You would sell the car and then none of those things would be of any use to you. But, if you sell your car along with all the accessories, you may be able to add a few hundreds to the price that you are asking for your car.
It is quite crucial that you have your car properly cleaned and freshened. If you cannot do it yourself, get it serviced. It should be neat and clean, and the interior of your car should smell fresh too.
Lastly, never leave your car, its documents or the keys unguarded. Go along with the buyer on the test drive. Take a friend along if possible. Do not hand over the keys of the car without getting the money first.
