There are several reasons for selling your used car; some of them are listed here below.
- You may want a more spacious car that can accommodate more people as your family might have got expanded.
- You may want to get rid of your old car due to the rising maintenance and running costs.
- Before the car becomes too old and sits in a garage idle, you want to sell it off and realize some cash.
- You may want to buy a luxury car as you might have advanced in your career.
Whatever your reason may be, you can sell your car for cash through scrap car dealers or car wreckers who buy used cars. You can research on the Internet for the nearest dealer within your home or office who deals in used cars; this will enable you to drive your vehicle to them easily. If possible, through phone get a rough estimate and compare quotes of 2 or 3 dealers and choose the company that quotes higher value for your used car. Fix an appointment in advance with the concerned dealer and drive your vehicle to their location. You must carry your vehicle’s Rego paper or purchase documents and your identity proof. Your vehicle will be assessed for its actual worth and the price may slightly differ from the rough quote that they might have offered to you over the phone upon your briefing about your vehicle’s condition. Depending upon the condition of your vehicle, they would offer you a price for your used car. If you agree, they will take the possession of your vehicle and pay you cash or bank cheque on the spot.
You can also sell your used car privately, but it will take a good amount of your time and effort and also the process is lengthy. For instance, you may post free or paid classified ads online and/ or consider publishing classified ads in your local daily newspapers, spread a word across your friends and contacts etc. However, if you don’t want to wait or spend money on posting and publishing classified ads, or don’t have enough time to spend behind it, then the best alternative is to find the scrap car dealer or car wrecker who would buy your used car for cash instantly.
