When you first get your car, everything is great. The car is nice and shiny and filled with that new car aroma. Of course after several years, the car ages, becomes less reliable and the time comes to get a new one. Here’s trade your car for cash and get the value you deserve.
Instructions
1. Figure out how much your car is currently worth. Remember, cars lose their value very fast, and the longer you wait, the less your car will be worth. Go to a website such as KBB.com to get the Kelley Blue Book value of your automobile. The value will depend on the year, mileage and condition of your vehicle.
2. Sell your car yourself. Put up signs and classified advertisements noting that you will only take cash in exchange for the car. Provide enough details for a prospective buyer to make the decision to call you. Allow the buyer to go on a test drive with you to help them decide if they want your car.
3. Trade in your car as part of the value for a new car. When you go to a car dealership, they will generally make you select a car you want to buy. Once you’ve decided on a car, they will work up a deal. They’ll examine your car, telling you how much they can offer you as a trade-in value. Never accept the first offer. Use the Kelley Blue book information to improve what they’re willing to give you. Consider working the trade deal before you even set foot in a car that you want to buy as another technique on getting the best deal.
4. Patronize a company that offers to trade you cash for your car, even if you’re not buying a car from them. They want to make money by selling your car, so they may not give you as much money as you want. Get several quotes and decide between them.
5. Visit dealerships at different times to take advantage of the psychology involved. At the end of the month, car dealers really want to boost the number of cars they’ve sold. At the beginning of the month, they’re less likely to make a deal that’s better for you.
