  2. 10 NO-FAIL STEPS Whether looking for a new vehicle or just letting go of the monthly gas expense, you deserve to get the most you can out of selling your car. Here, we’ve put together 10 no-fail steps to help you get the maximum money possible from a buyer.

  3. 1 SELLING YOUR CAR STARTS WITH DOCUMENTATION Look through your storage spots for receipts and records. This includes filing cabinets, the glove compartment, and drawers. Organize your paperwork by date, type of work done, or mechanic. Keep it organized in a folder. W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  4. 2 GET YOUR CAR CHECKED OUT BY THE MECHANIC Take your car down to the local garage. Let them know that you plan on selling your car and want to find out if it has any mechanical problems. Most places are happy to provide a price for a vehicle inspection and usually will charge for an hour based on their labor rate.  W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  5. 3 GIVE YOUR CAR A DEEP CLEANING! If you want customers to buy your car, take a few hours out of your day and get it cleaned. Customers do notice trash in the floor, food crumbs in the seats, and dust that builds up on your vehicle. It creates the impression that you don’t take very good care of your car, so they may not be getting a good deal. W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  6. 4 GET NEW FLOOR MATS AND WIPERS The floor is probably one of the first sights potential buyers see when they open your car doors. If you have old, torn up floor mats it can make a bad impression. A small investment in new mats, and even windshield wiper blades has a big impact. W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  7. 5 BRING YOUR CAR BACK TO STOCK BY REMOVING AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS If you have added a lot of extra features to your car, it could even detract from the potential value. For instance, not as many customers are interested in buying a sporty car. But, removing some of those extra features may help make your car more appealing to a broader customer base. W W W .

  8. 6 PUT A FOR “SALE SIGN“ IN THE WINDOW Go get a car for sale sign.  Write the price and a contact phone number in thick, black marker on the sign. Tape it to the inside of one of the passenger side windows. W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  9. 7 DO SOME MARKET RESEARCH TO DETERMINE THE RIGHT PRICE FOR YOUR CAR Look up the car value online on several websites. Search price comparisons in your area.  Put more emphasis on the costs of similar vehicles in your area when coming up with a price for your car. W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  10. 8 TAKE GREAT PICTURES If you plan on selling your car online, you need photographs to show potential buyers. It doesn’t have to be a professional photo shoot, but you do want clear, recognizable images of your vehicle. Usually, a modern digital camera or cell phone provides a high-quality shot. W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  11. 9 WRITE AN AD FOR YOUR CAR THAT SELLS A well-written classified ad can draw a lot of attention. Since, it’s a good idea to have one classified ad that include all of the basics about your vehicle. Post your ad on leading Australia's Classified sites like www.adsct.com.au and start getting instant quote within seconds. W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  12. 10 REPLY TO POTENTIAL BUYERS PROMPTLY The best way to make a fast and profitable sale is to respond quickly to any buyer inquiries. One of the most common mistakes car sellers make is not being available for potential buyers and taking too long to respond. Treat selling your car like a small business. You want to put your best face forward and make each person feel as if they were your best customer. W W W . A D S C T . C O M . A U

  13. Getting a Return On Your Money! Here Is a Bonus Tip Most Car Sellers Forget. As a final note, you may have invested in a service contract, extended warranty, or GAP insurance when purchasing your vehicle. Some of these products cost upwards of thousands of dollars and be valid for many years. Make sure to let customers know that the vehicle comes with some additional included services. W W W .
