India has a good market for used cars. The two wheeler users and first time buyers often opt for used cars as they are affordable. Many car owners usually panic as how to get a descent amount out of their old car. Selling a used car could be a hassle free experience if done in proper way. Firstly, the car (used car) should look appealing to the buyers as looks is the most important factor that attracts the buyer at the first instance. If the car is in real good condition then there is a better chance of tempting potential buyers. Selling a car could become easy if you follow some simple methods.

Here are some tips that can be followed while preparing a car for sale:

Determine your car condition to get a clear picture about the cars condition and based on that you can decide how much you have to spend on repairs.
A well maintained car makes a good impression on potential car buyers. Minor maintenance, clean wash, car waxing, tidy carpet and upholstery, and emptied trunk enhance a car’s appeal.
Get the mechanic check up done for the car and collect the report. The maintenance record can be use to encourage a buyer to go for the car.
Clean the tyres, windows and dashboard, ensure that the oil is changed before displaying it for sale.
Make sure that the odometer is reading correctly. Check the mileage of the car to provide accurate information to the customer.
Pricing your car realistically is very important. Keep a track of the prices of similar cars in the segment that are available in the market and get price list from popular classified advertisement magazines or online car portals like www.carazoo.com.

Advertising your car is important to get buyers. The effective platforms for advertisement are online classifieds, local newspapers, and car traders.
Do not make false or reckless claims while negotiating with the customers.
Reveal the condition of the car in advance. Try to describe the car on the receipt exactly and quote the year and number plate on the receipt.
Keep all the documents and history ready to hand over to the buyer and have all MOT certificates and service records, stamped dealer service record if possible and all other relevant documents when selling the car.
Clear all the outstanding finance on the car that can be with the banks or any financial institution.
Also, cancel the insurance policy on the vehicle (previously owned by you) or transfer the coverage to your new car.
Make sure that the payment is completely paid. The best mode of payment is through cash. If the payment is made through personal cheque, then wait for the clearance from the bank before handing over the car to the buyer.
Keep two copies of the contract, one for the buyer and the other for yourself for additional proof.

Selling a used car can be a win-win situation, when done in a planned way. You can easily turn your used car into cash by focusing on few details while transferring reliable transportation for the next owner.
