Do you want to know the surefire way to sell your car quickly? The secret to making it move overnight is to underprice it; but that\u2019s not appealing to most people. The great news is there are other ways you can sell your vehicle fast while charging a fair price.<\/p>\n

The average time it takes to sell a car is 59 days. If quick money is your plan, it\u2019s not ideal to wait two months to sell your car to its new owner. It\u2019s also less than ideal to meet prospective buyers and hold test-drives while maintaining your lifestyle. Here are six tips to fast track your car sale.<\/p>\n

Do what you can to streamline the process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want your car gone soon, you need to know about the local regulations related to your vehicle. Gather ownership documents, the information that confirms the loans are paid off, and anything else required to expedite the process. Have all maintenance papers and warranties readily available to show your potential buyers too.<\/p>\n

Make sure the car is in tip-top shape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Put some elbow grease into giving your vehicle a thorough clean, both inside and out. While you probably don\u2019t need to invest in detailing the car, a wash and wax will make a noticeable difference.\u00a0 If you\u2019re considering modifications to help sell your car<\/a>, put some thought into what you do before you act. It\u2019s not always worth it to upgrade the sound system or get your windows tinted. Do your research before putting cash into your car to help it sell.<\/p>\n

Take the right photos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the car is looking its best, get good photos to help you get your buyer quickly.\u00a0 While the phrase \u201cnever judge a book by its cover\u201d applies in some situations, it doesn\u2019t apply when you\u2019re selling your car.<\/p>\n

A car that looks nice to prospective buyers researching vehicles online will be easier to sell. Take photos of the car that buyers will want to see and make sure they\u2019re clear and high quality. People want to see everything, so take shots from various angles and even show the trunk, engine and dashboard. Buyers want to see it all and know that you have nothing to hide.<\/p>\n

Spread the word.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are asking yourself, \u201cHow can I sell my car<\/a>?\u201d one way is to list your vehicle online as many places as possible. You can also put a sign in the window, advertise in your local paper, and tell your friends, family and co-workers. Don\u2019t underestimate the power of Facebook and other social media platforms. Videos perform well too, so make a video and share it on your social media platforms to generate interest.<\/p>\n

Write a good ad.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you write an advertisement, be specific. Focus on the positives of your car. If the car has flaws, be open and honest. If there are stains on the interior, talk about and photograph them. This will make potential buyers trust you \u2013 no used cars are perfect and that\u2019s okay if you tell people that from the get go.<\/p>\n

Be flexible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to wait around, trading your car in is a quick and easy way to rid yourself of your car. You don\u2019t get top dollar when you go this route, but you do eliminate some legwork and take care of the chore of selling your car very quickly.<\/p>\n

When looking to privately sell your used car, do what you can to get some much-needed cash in your pocket as soon as possible.\u00a0 Advertise in various places, take great photographs and make sure your car is clean. Give your customer everything they need to know and build a rapport with potential buyers so they want to buy from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
