How do you sell a car?

Bennie Lantgen: Well, you just have to find someone who will pay $18k for your car, which might not be possible in your area. That depends on what you can agree upon, but I would advise insisting on a cashier's check from a private buyer and let him/her secure financing through a bank or credit union.How to get the word out to the public? A few options. The cheapest way is to get a dry-erase plate "For Sale" sign and put it in the window of your car. The fastest way is to call a few used car dealerships and collect offers. But the most effective way is to put an ad in the local newspaper.You'll want to include at least the following: year, make, model, trim, mileage, transmission type, number of doors, any other accessories (towing package, A/C, sunroof, etc), your contact information, your asking price, and a few photos. Be prepared to answer questions regarding accident and maintenance records, and offer the VIN upon request for an online vehicle history report to be ru! n. You should go look up the Blue Book Value online, your car might not actually be worth as much as you want for it. Rest assured that any potential buyers will be looking up the value as well, so don't exaggerate on this or they'll smell the bullshit a mile away.http://www.kbb.com/...Show more

Donny Bankson: Uhhh...do you know anything about negotiating? Apparently not. Good luck.

Rona Ising: When you advertise your car for sale you set a selling price. During negotiations with a potential buyer you will settle on a final price and write up a Bill of Sale.The buyer must pay you in FULL before you sign the title and turn over ownership. If you have the title all you do is sign it over to the buyer and he takes it to his bank (if he has a loan) or DMV to get it registered. If you still owe money on the car and aren't holding the title you'll need to pay off your loan first, then process the paperwork to issue the title to the new owner....Show more
