Selling your car can be a daunting task. You're faced with the stresses of finding a buyer, trying to get the best price, having the right paperwork sorted.
There is a lot to process and ultimately, you're just after the best price possible for your car. Motoring experts Swansway Motor Group have put together some top tips to help you get exactly that when the time comes to sell your car.
- Keep Mileage low.
Usually, the lower a car's mileage the higher it's value. Many people believe the ideal mileage on a used car is between 10,000 and 20,000 miles, although ideal mileage can vary on type of vehicle and maintenance.
- Sell while your car is desirable.
Selling your car while it is most desirable will help you achieve the greatest asking price. If you think you'll be selling your car at some point, make sure to do so before the newer model is released. Keep an eye out for arrival dates and sell before that point.
- Make it look good!
This starts when you first buy the car. Certain colours retain value better than others. For sportier cars, brighter, flashy colours such as red and yellow are best. While standard cars have a better resale value if they are black, white, or another more understated colour.
Additionally, giving your car a good clean and taking plenty of high-quality photos will help with selling online. Swansway offer their top tips for car photography over on their blog.
- Sell the best way for you.
While selling privately can get you the best price it is also the most stressful and requires a lot of your time. If you're willing to do this then great, but if not selling to a dealership or an online car buyer, like Sell2Swansway, can be a much more straightforward, stress-free approach.
