Selling your car can be a hassle, especially if you have never sold one before. Haggling back and forth with an individual as you try to negotiate a fair price can be frustrating. With something as expensive as a car, you want to be doubly sure you are getting your money's worth and not being scammed. But it can be hard to tell sometimes who's trying to take advantage of you and who's giving you a fair deal. We at Tillema Auto know it can be a frustrating process fraught with the danger of being taken advantage of. That's why we’re dedicated to helping our customers make informed decisions. Check out these helpful tips on how to sell your used vehicle.

How to Sell Your Used Vehicle

Before you are able to begin the selling process, there are a few key things to take care of. Follow these easy steps to get your vehicle ready to be sold.

1. Ensure the Vehicle is Clean

Before you bring your vehicle anywhere to be sold or appraised, make sure it's as clean as possible. Making sure there are no messes or stains on the interior will get you a better price for your vehicle. The better the condition the car is in, the better price you will get for it.

It's equally important that the exterior is as clean as possible. Buff out any scratches you can and make sure the vehicle is washed. You'll get the most money out of your vehicle if it looks to be in quality condition.

Additionally, you'll need to remove all personal belongings from the vehicle. The last thing you want is to forget an important personal item in the vehicle when it's sold.

2. Schedule an Appointment

Once your car is clean and you have an idea of how much you want for it, just schedule an appointment with our sales staff. Selling your car to us can be as simple as that! 

When you make an appointment, we are often able to make an offer on site. While you should have an idea of how much you want for your vehicle, appraisal will be based on industry comparibles and market value. This means that you can expect us to offer the price equal to your car's true value.

3. Bring Your Vehicle in For an Offer

Next, all that's left to do is bring your car in to receive an offer. Once you meet with our sales staff, you'll usually receive an offer on site. At Tillema Auto, we won't haggle with you in an attempt to take advantage of you. We will always pay a fair price. 

Sleazy car salesmen are a thing of the past at Tillema Auto. We want to get you the best value for your car possible because we understand how difficult selling your vehicle can be.
