Do’s

Sell them to private buyers:

To start with, you need to ensure that you try keeping yourself away from any agents or dealers. This is bound to save you a lot of money that otherwise you might have had to give off in the form of commissions. Private buyers on the other hand often offer a much better deal against a used car.

Don’ts

Private buyers definitely offer great prices, but at times, you might make better profit by selling it to a dealer. So make sure you compare the prices being offered, before you decide on one.

Do’s

Wash, clean and fix it:

A car sells much better, if you have cleaned it and fixed it for any required repairs. You must have heard of a good packaging sells better. This is exactly what we are talking about here.

Don’t

Try selling in a bad state:

Do’s

Research:

You need to make sure that you research the type of car that you are selling on the internet or anywhere else, where you can find the information.
