car looks good and clean chances are it will get you a little extra
money for your car. |

Realistic Price
Make sure you set a realistic price to sell your car. Otherwise it will
just drag the process and don’t overprice your car from what the market
value of car is. If you are selling it with accessories, than always
explain the buyer why you are charging over the market value. |

You can advertise your car online these days which is very easy to do on
Face book and other websites. The good thing is you will have one on one
contact with person interested in your car. It doesn’t matter where you

meet up away from your home, just to be on safe side. |

Documents

are showing the car to the buyer. Always be ready to be inspected by
buyer and that you have cleared all your tax dues. Try to clear any
registration, tax or insurance before selling it, this always attracts
buyer more. |

potential buyer to accompany you.

get behind the wheel to check the feel of the car. Make sure they have
driver license and never let them drive without you in the car.

make sure the lowest price you would expect to sell your car for. It is
not easy to bargain so be prepared for it and stick to the final price
with which you won’t go past. Don’t get intimidated with what your
potential buyer bargaining skill and tell them that this final price.
They can take it or leave it. Don’t accept anything that is not worth
your car.
