Be Ready to Deal with Ambivalent Requests

There are many people undecided with a purchase who won't opt ​​for a new vehicle because of its high value and who will opt for the second-hand market to buy something that will serve them temporarily. Although, on the other hand, there is a lot of supply and not too much liquidity, which just highlights the importance to follow these tips and tricks to achieve a successful sale.

When a Person Decides to Buy a 2nd-Hand Car, They Not Only Spend Their Money, They Also Place Their Trust

Unlike new vehicles, second-hand cars have a past unknown to the buyer. Avoid swindles and answer all their questions in a clear and truthful way.  The buyer needs to know the history of the car:
  • If it has had one or more owners.
  • If it has been stored in the garage or outdoors.
  • If the car has had a work or family use.
  • If it has received all mechanical services in a timely manner.
Any documentation that can prove that the car has been taken care of will be very helpful in assisting your potential clients in their decision-making.

Highlight Its Qualities

The two essential criteria that affect the valuation of a car are age and mileage. This information must always appear in an advertisement. Other interesting details are collected in this list, so review it and highlight them in your ad in order of importance as you scroll down.
  • Brand and Model.
  • Know that the vehicle has not suffered accidents.
  • Have passed all mechanical controls.
  • The chassis and body are in good shape.
  • The number of owners the vehicle has had.
  • The condition of the engine, the type of fuel it uses, and fuel consumption.
  • The state of the upholstery.
  • Safety and comfort accessories.
  • The price.

Good Image

The car must look good. Cleanliness, order, and attention to detail reinforce the feeling of care. It's psychology: if the owner cares about cleaning, vacuuming, waxing, and perfuming the car, it means that the owner is just as careful with the mechanical and structural components. In addition to a thorough washing and interior cleaning, there are other ways to prepare the car for sale, in order to get a higher valuation.

Regarding the Photos of the Advertisement

If it's possible to include them, it's advisable to insert at least six: two for the sides, one for the front, one for the rear, one for the interior, and one more for the engine, with the hood raised. This will help potential buyers to see that you are a reliable seller.

Where and How to Find Buyers

  • Friends and acquaintances: word of mouth is the oldest marketing strategy, but it works. You won't lose anything by telling your friends that you want to sell the car. Closing a deal with a relative gives peace of mind, but going with this strategy might be hard if your circle is rather small.

General and Specialized Press

Publishing the ad in newspapers allows you to reach more people while doing it in industry magazines is a direct line to people who are interested in the motor world. Though, these ads are usually paid and little information about the car can be published.

Internet

As you surely know, selling a car on the Internet is free, it reaches a huge number of people and allows you to include photos and detailed information. It is, without a doubt, the future, although there are people who still don't trust it; and rightfully so.
