Under the least hectic and most “normal” circumstances, selling a car can be a headache. Tack on the usual pressures of life and that headache becomes a skull-shattering shattering event.
That said, there are ways to alleviate that pressure and get your car sold quickly!
You’re going to want to get your car in order; conduct an interior and exterior cleaning and take a ton of well-lit pictures.
You’re also going to want to figure out exactly how much your car is worth. You can find your car’s fair market value on a platform like Kelley Blue Book.
Now, let’s break down the different ways you can sell that car fast!
Our expert evaluators can help you get an accurate estimate for your car's value, FAST!
The Dealership
It makes sense right? Who better to buy your car than the place where you would buy a car! Dealerships will absolutely buy your car (under the right conditions).
You’ll want to talk to the used car managers and get an appraisal on your car. Also, it’s in your best interest to take your car to dealerships that specialize in its brand (i.e. Ford to a Ford Dealership).
Keep it in mind that dealerships are typically going to lowball you. If your vehicle is in poor condition or has a high mileage, they may not want it at all. Furthermore, some will only offer trade-in value, so you won’t be getting cash to spend anywhere else.
Sell It Privately
If you’ve got to make a quick buck off of your car, selling it privately is an option. Specifically, to someone you know and trust (since time is of the essence).
A private sale should yield a profit close to the vehicle’s fair market value, even without you cleaning and detailing the vehicle ahead of time.
Anyone you know is still a buyer though; there may be some haggling going on before everyone comes to an agreement.
Also, it’s still in your best interest to not be careless because you know the person. Ask for a deposit to confirm that they are a serious buyer and make sure their payment process is legitimate.
Junk It
The option to sell your car to a junkyard always exists. It’s a quick process that will get your wheels off your hands and cash in them almost immediately.
However, don’t expect to receive a hefty payout from the junkyard.
That's because junkyards make their money by buying low, then parting out the vehicles for their reusable components, all the way down to the very metal your car is made from.
While these options are the most common ones when it comes to selling a car fast, the advent of the internet has created an avenue for online car buying platforms like CarBrain.
