Just like buying auto insurance<\/a>, selling your used car, truck, or van can be an easy process, but many car owners still worry about getting the most out of their investment. At Cost-U-Less, we understand wanting to get the most for your money, so we\u2019ve put together a guide on making the used car selling process as quick and rewarding as possible.<\/p>\n

Pricing and Paperwork<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

For many car owners, determining the cash value of a vehicle can be difficult, but it\u2019s important to do it now rather than later. You don\u2019t want to go through the trouble of preparing your vehicle only to find out it wasn\u2019t worth the effort, after all. Your car\u2019s value will vary based on its condition, but resources like Kelley Blue Book and NADA Guides can give you a general idea of your car\u2019s value.<\/p>\n

Even a cheap car insurance plan can make maintaining your vehicle much cheaper. Call or click Cost-U-Les today to learn more.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not satisfied by your vehicle\u2019s value, it may be worth your time to look into ways to increase the vehicle\u2019s market price. If it\u2019s still not worth as much as you were hoping, many dealerships will accept it as a trade-in at a greater value. On the other hand, if you\u2019re happy with the price and ready to sell, you\u2019ll need to gather some important documents.<\/p>\n

Each state has specific requirements for which documents need to be transferred to a vehicle\u2019s new owner, but most states will require the following:<\/p>\n

– Title<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Maintenance Records<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Bill of Sale<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Release of Liability<\/strong><\/p>\n

– Warranty Documents<\/strong><\/p>\n

– As-is Documentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

These documents are essential in protecting both the buyer and the seller from preventable legal problems, but they can also be extremely reassuring to the buyer, especially in the case of maintenance records. A well-maintained car is worth a lot more, which brings us to\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Washing<\/p>\n

Preparing the Vehicle<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Now that we have all of the paperwork squared away, it\u2019s time to make your vehicle looks its absolute best. We\u2019ve already published a few tips on how to give your car a professional clean<\/a>, but just in case, don\u2019t forget the essentials. Wash and wax the exterior, get the rims and tires as lean as possible, and then take everything out of the vehicle\u2019s interior. If it belongs in the car\u2019s interior, clean it and put it back in. If it doesn\u2019t, keep it out. Once your car is ready for its close-up\u2026<\/p>\n

The Sale\u2019s Pitch<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Now that your car is ready to sell, you\u2019ll want to spread the word via advertising or social media. Provide detailed info on the vehicle, and be ready to convince a buyer why your vehicle is worth buying. Create a small sheet of key talking points so you never miss a chance to praise your vehicle.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to adjust the price, but don\u2019t be a pushover, and make sure you get what you need out of the transaction. Once everyone\u2019s ready to finalize the sale, you\u2019ll complete the paperwork listed above and the car will officially change ownership. Congratulations!<\/p>\n
