Where to sell used cars is the question you’re asking? You’ve just bought another car, inherited a car or decided to get rid of an extra car so: Where to sell used cars?

Sometimes when you’re buying a new or used car the dealership may not want your old car. There are many reasons for this. Your car may be a model they do not sell. They may not have room for another used car or who knows why they didn’t offer you enough money?

Now you’re faced with disposing of your car.

Again you’re asking: Where to sell used cars?

You could list it in the local paper. They usually offer a better price to you than they will a dealer. You may or may not want to deal with the telephone calls or people coming over to look at it.

You could sell it on ebay. If you will sell the car as a No Reserve auction, it will definitely sell. On eBay lots of good pictures are a must. If you do not know what you are doing you may take less for the car than it is worth. If, however, you do post a lot of good, detailed pictures your car may do very well.

You may still want to list a phone number or at least respond quickly to sell my car online questions. There are a few things that are must knows about selling on eBay motors. Use a low starting price to get immediate notice. If yours is just a plane jane auto that can be bought on any street corner then eBay may not be the place to sell it.

To sell on eBay lots of good pictures are a must. Using ebay’s photo hosting is expensive. I prefer Photobucket.com’s free service. Make sure to take clean photos of all sides of the car as well as all detail of the interior. Have the car washed and waxed and cleaned inside before taking the photos.

List all the good points about your auto. If it’s never been smoked in that is a good buying cue for those with allergies. Since no used car is perfect, be honest and tell all the bad points. Like the dent on the side from the lady at the grocery store parking lot.

Use paypal to allow a quick deposit and be specific about how long the winner has to come pick the auto up. Usually 10 days is sufficient. Require the buyer to call and discuss the details. I would follow up with an e-mail to make sure and confirm the details in writing.

You could list on AutoTrader or other online and print auto magazines. Autotrader.com has a service where your car ad runs until sold. First, research what others are asking for the same car and see what Edmunds.com says it is worth.

Be realistic and do not expect to sell for hundreds over retail or private party pricing. An overpriced car could set forever and not sell. Remember the car is going down in value everyday. The only exception to this are rare and collectible automobiles.
