Selling your car doesn’t have to be a painful or exhausting experience if you can see to a few basic guidelines.
At some stage in our lives we all get to a point where we want to or need to sell our vehicle, either because you have simply outgrown your vehicle or you just feel like a change of scenery. The used car market in South Africa is massive and buyers are spoilt for choice when it comes to makes and models.
Thanks to the evolution of technology, buyers can now have easy and unlimited access to choice; you therefore need to make sure your vehicle is market fit and buyable before you make it available.
The internet has become extremely visual, so if your vehicle doesn’t come across as visually appealing then the chance that a buyer is going to give it two looks is very slim.
Make sure your car is ready for the market by doing a thorough maintenance check and both exterior and interior clean up including all other minor repairs. Once you are happy with the outcome, get a friend to test drive the car and try and get a different perspective, they might notice small issues that might have slipped through your inspection.
Be sure to do your research properly and see what other models similar to yours are going for, taking into account the model, mileage, year and the condition of the vehicle. Don’t try and take any chances, we are in the digital age so online buyers are extremely smart and are doing thorough research and continuously comparing prices.
Make sure you understand everything about your vehicle and know the condition of the engine as well as the service history so that you can be prepared to answer any questions that might come your way.
