The easiest way to sell a used car
When it comes time to sell a used car there are lots of options available, which can almost make the process a harder one. Too many choices is almost worse than having only one option. Figuring out the best way for you to sell a used car requires the process of elimination.
Your options
Option A
The first option that comes to mind is, of course, a trade in. Trading your car in seems like the most simple option, because generally when you are trying to sell a used car you are looking to purchase a replacement. At a dealership you have the ability to do both, sort of a one stop shop.
However that also means dealing with used car salesmen and everyone knows that trying to sell something to a salesman is next to impossible. Chances are you will not get the best possible price on your used car simply because the salesman is far more concerned with the car they want you to buy.
Option B
The second viable option is placing an ad in the newspaper or an Auto Trader designed to sell a used car, either in print, online, or both. Thus forcing you to make your contact information available to the public, and in today’s world that can be dangerous.
This option also requires that you deal face to face with the public. Even meeting a potential buyer in a busy public place won’t protect you when it’s time for a test drive. You are literally taking your chances when you get into your car with a stranger for a ride around the block, especially with them driving.
Although you have a better chance of getting the worth of the car than when you sell a used car to a dealership, you are still stuck haggling and selling.
Option C
Online services are a new and innovative way to sell a used car. Although they are new, they have had plenty of time to perfect the art and to make it as easy as pie for the seller. Probably the biggest problem is knowing which service to go with simply because there are so many to choose from.
In choosing an online service there are several things you want them to do:
It may seem too good to be true, but it isn’t. Many services offer the above conveniences and they will generally guarantee you a higher price on your car than any dealership will. Not to mention saving you the hassle of selling anything to anyone.
Do it the easy way
Bottom line, if you want to sell a used car, online services are the easiest way to do it. They limit your personal liability, are almost guaranteed to get you a higher price and they will come to you. It doesn’t get any better than that.

How to sell my car
In today’s world it is all too common to have almost too many options. So last weekend I called my dad to ask him how to sell my car. It is time to update to something newer and I had no idea how to begin. I figured that if anyone would know how to sell my car, he would.
My dad’s advice about what not to do
My dad told me not to bother trying to trade it in at a dealership. He thought the salesmen would eat me alive by giving me a crappy trade in price and making it sound like a good one. While that makes perfect sense I had been expecting to just trade in my vehicle at the dealership, if not a trade in, then how do I sell my car?
He told me to be patient and hear him out. Being my father, my safety is important to him and that was the reason he told me not to try to sell my Civic by putting an ad in the paper or the Auto Trader. Mainly because it would require me to meet strangers and then go on test drives with them.
He told me that even with one of my male friends along for the ride, it could potentially be dangerous to both of us. He then made me promise not to take this route, not just because people can be dangerous, but they can also be terrible drivers.
Dad’s advice about what to do
To start with he told me to do my research. To use the internet and research the value of my little 1995 Honda Civic, and he stressed that I needed to research the added value of the stereo system I put in it in addition to the brand new paint job I just had done.
Finally I told him I didn’t need research tips, I needed to know how to sell my car.
Believe it or not, my aging father told me how to sell my car using an online service. He had a friend who had just sold a car using a great free service that paid him cash for his car on the spot. Not just that but they had given him an obligation-free quote right over the phone.
My decision was made by good old dad
True to form, my father told me how to sell my car successfully. After I got off the phone with him I went straight to my computer and looked up the online service his friend used. I called them and several hours later one of their appraisers was knocking on my door.
Less than an hour later I had cash in my hand, and a smile on my face. Now when I go to the dealership to buy I’ll be able to concentrate on what I’m going to buy instead of what I need to sell.

Seriously, how can I sell my car without a hassle?
I’m 18 years old and I need to know how can I sell my car for free. My aunt just gave me her Honda Accord and it is nicer than the one I bought when I got my license. Lucky for me, she gave it to me, so the money that I gain from selling my car will be able to go towards college next year. So how can I sell my car on a time schedule?
What to do?
I worked hard at the ice cream shop after school in order to buy myself my first vehicle, and that is something I’m proud of accomplishing on my own. My little Toyota has been good to me and I have felt a pride in ownership that only comes from enjoying the spoils of hard work.
So I’m a little sad to be selling it, however college is expensive and every penny will help me to get a good education. Hopefully that education will enable me to buy any car I want to eventually.
Until that time comes, I need to know how I can sell my car right now. Usually I’d ask my dad that, but he is away on business right now and this is something that I don’t want to wait for.
Who to ask?
I started asking my friends at school, even though they are all my age so they have less experience in the buying and selling vehicle department than an adult would. Most of them told me to use the Auto Trader. But I remember my father telling me once that he had a really bad experience with a potential buyer he connected with through the Trader. This made me wary.At lunch time I realized that the kids at school were not the appropriate ones to ask.So I started asking my teachers, a much smarter route to take. By my last class of the day I had my answer. One of my teachers gave me the name of an online service he had used that he really liked.
My teachers advice
He told me that if I wanted to know how to sell my car, he had a great story for me. I had to listen to the whole thing, but he let me use his computer to check their website out afterwards.
He said that not only was it a free service, but they came to him to complete the appraisal process and to make the written cash offer.
Cash! I wasn’t expecting cash. My teacher told me that not only did he walk away with cash, but it only took half an hour for the appraisal. Due to their lack of overhead costs, the service was able to offer a very reasonable cash price for his car and they took care of all of the bothersome paperwork involved too. Needless to say, I had cash in my hand the next day and I took it to the bank in my new-old Honda Accord.

How my 13 year old granddaughter helped me sell a car
Recently I decided it was time to sell my home and move to a retirement community. The community I chose provides transportation to all of its residents, and because I don’t drive much anymore that meant I also had to sell a car. This is no easy task because I hadn’t the slightest idea how to sell a car in the first place.
Lucky for me my granddaughter did. She had recently done a report in school about the convenience of online services so she had done some independent research on online services that simplify everyday life.
The process
Instead of going to a dealership and haggling with used car salesmen, or placing an ad in the newspaper and haggling with independent buyers we sat down in front of her mother’s computer.
At first I was skeptical, how can an online service truly know what a car is worth, much less make it easier to sell a car? But my granddaughter insisted that she knew what she was talking about, so I took her word for it.
Ever the efficient typist she quickly pulled up one of the many online services and went straight to their brief online form. It asked a few simple questions about the car and promised a quick reply with an obligation-free quote.
A few minutes later the phone rang and it was the service, the appraiser on the line was polite, knowledgeable and efficient. He asked us a few more questions and quickly came back to us with an obligation-free quote that in my opinion was fair.
He then asked when it would be convenient for an appraiser to come see the vehicle for a physical inspection. I was shocked! They would come to me? I was expecting to have to take the car somewhere and have someone follow me to take me home afterwards. No such inconvenience!
We scheduled a time that afternoon and not only was he on time but he was professional and kind. To sell a car can be an emotional thing, especially when it has been in my possession for such a long time.
He gave it a through once over and within half an hour came back to us with a written cash quote. This was a pleasant surprise, I was expecting a check in the mail or something to that effect.
Not only did he offer me cash, but he also offered to take care of the change of title, smog certification and any other bothersome DMV paperwork involved in the sale. I was flabbergasted to have someone come to me and be so helpful in the process.
Needless to say, now I agree with my granddaughter when she says that the easiest way to sell a car is online.

I decided to sell my car on the internet
Recently I was given a promotion, and with the boost in pay I decided it was time to buy a new car. That meant I had to sell my car, and like many people today I’m very busy, my goal was to sell it as fast and easy as possible. I decided that the best way to sell my car was online. I was not interested in taking a trade in with me to the dealership because I knew that would be a hassle.
Online options
I did my research like a good girl and narrowed down my options. I had one of several choices to decide from.
1. I could place an ad in the online version of my local newspaper.
2. I could place an ad on Auto Trader or another of the big online auto selling services
3. I could utilize one of the many online services to help me sell my car.
The best solution
In fact, I tried all three. I figured I could make an experiment of it and see which method worked the best. That way in the future I would know the best way.
Here were my results:
Online newspaper ad
This option forced me to make my contact information available to strangers and being a single woman that is not something I will never do again. Although I got lots of interested perspective buyers, it took a great deal of time to sort through them. Not to mention meeting people and test driving with them is nerve wracking.
I decided without a doubt that this was not an option I’d choose to sell my car in the future.
Online Auto Trader
This option was much the same as the newspaper ad in that it required me to deal with lots of strangers. Even when meeting them in a public place I had to go for test drives with them. These are essentially do-it-yourself options, and not only did they take up a lot of my time, but I had to ask a male friend to accompany me and that means it took up his time too.
As with the above option, I wouldn’t go this route again.
Online services
This option was surprisingly the best one I tried. It was a surprise to me anyway, no one I know has ever sold a car this way. There are tons of these services out there, but I did my research to ensure I got one that was legitimate. After I decided on the service I called them right away.The woman I spoke to on the phone was efficient and within a few minutes she had an initial quote for me. We set an appointment for an appraiser to look at the car on my lunch break which was very convenient for me.True to their word, the appraiser was punctual and before lunch was over I had cash in my hand, yes cash.Hands down I liked this option the best. They made it easy and convenient to sell my car and that is what I was after.

Where do I sell my car quickly?
Most of us have been there, in that place that forces us to take fast action with major decisions. Although it happens, we are never fully prepared for it when it does. My sister just had twins and she lives across the country from me in New York City. My job allows me some freedom, so when she called frantic for help I told her I’d come to her rescue. However, my first order of business was to find out where to sell my car because I wouldn’t be needing it in New York.
Plus I could use the extra money.
Asking around
I started by asking around my neighborhood. I’ve been married to my work for the past seven years so I didn’t have a husband to fall back on when it came to car issues.
First I asked my neighbor where to sell my car, he is always buying old cars and refurbishing them to sell. Unfortunately he usually sold to enthusiasts within his online communities who were searching for the models he had refurbished. He was no help.
So I went down the block, asking everyone I saw if they knew where to sell my car. Finally I lucked upon this sweet little old lady who didn’t even wait for me to ask, she simply offered me information.
The ladies advice
It came as a shock to me that this sweet little lady was able to give me better advice than all of the men on my block combined. She is quite a character.
She told me that her granddaughter had recently helped her sell her own car and that she had gotten such a feeling of empowerment doing it herself. I was listening.
She then went on to tell me about some of the handy online services out there. Services that would buy a used car for free. Upon hearing more I decided that this is where to sell my car.
In attempt to be respectful for the great advice I stayed to listen to her story about how her 13 year old granddaughter had not only shown her where to go, but had been a large part in ensuring that she got a great cash price on her car.
Needless to say I was itching to get home and get online to find the service she recommended, I was ready to get started so I could get to my sister.
The results
In the end, that sweet little lady gave me the best advice I’ve ever gotten about where to sell my car. I was able to sell it quickly, on my watch and for a really fair cash price that I wouldn’t have gotten had I attempted to sell it another way.

I needed to sell a car so I turned on my computer
I’m moving out of the country at the end of the month, so in addition to selling my furniture and house, I needed to sell a car. Needless to say the vehicle was almost last on my priority list simply because my time is so limited. I needed an option that would allow me to sell a car quickly, cheaply and efficiently.
The best option
I spoke with several people who I knew to be car enthusiasts and several of them agreed that using an online service is a great way to sell a car quickly and with as little fuss as possible.
So I took their advice and turned on my laptop. My research brought up a ton of online sites which buy used vehicles. My car friends had warned me that the options were endless so they gave me some guidelines to follow when it came time to sell a car online:
I almost didn’t believe such a service existed.
What I found
Shockingly enough, I found several services that offered me all of the above options, so I filled out the online forms for about five of them and decided that the one that gave me the best phone quote would be the service to choose.
The quotes given to me were very similar and were probably based on the same pricing scale, so I opted for the most polite one and made an appointment for them to come see me on my lunch break the following day.
The easiest way to sell a car
Truly I was amazed at the ease with which I was able to handle this transaction I had been dreading. The appraiser met me in the parking lot at work and while I was eating my lunch he gave it a through once over.
He had an offer for me before I was even done eating, in fact I think I accepted it through a mouth full of food I was so excited.
Not only did they offer me a written cash price, but they also took care of the pesky DMV paperwork and handled all of the necessary smog certification. In fact, they took the car right then and there.
What a load off my mind! Online services are a great way to sell a car, I’m still in awe of how fast and easy it truly was. Now I just need a ride home from work.

We can tell you the best way to sell your car
If you are looking to sell your car this article can help you. We did the research and believe we have the best option which will help you sell your car not only fast and free but for cash.
Getting started
Online services may seem like a scary option to begin with, but they are truly the easiest alternative to sell your car. Many of the services out there are not legitimate, so doing your research is imperative. Make sure you find a service that will offer you an obligation-free initial quote either over the phone or online.
Most of the good services will make an appointment with you right then and there for an appraiser to take a physical look at your vehicle. The good ones will come to you when you want to sell your car to them. Walk away from any service who refuses to come to you at your convenience, there are too many of them out there that will meet you at work on your lunch break, at the dog park while you exercise fido or at the supermarket while you shop.
Appraisal appointment
Once you have set up an appointment with the service of your choice your work is really done. At this point you get to coast and sell your car with the utmost of ease. Once the appraiser reaches the pre-planned meeting destination, most of them will come back to you with an offer within an hour, a half hour if you find a really efficient service.
Once the physical appraisal is out of the way you’ll have the paperwork to deal with. In your initial research you’ll want to find a service that will offer you cash. However, be sure that they offer you a written cash offer. With a cash payment you’ll want to have some sort of documentation.
Paperwork
At that point you’ll have all of the tedious DMV paperwork to handle. Most of which online services will be happy to help you with and many of them have built in departments developed solely to handle title transfers, smog checks and the like. In fact many of the services will take your car off your hands right then and there when you sell your car to them.
At that point your only problem will be getting home afterwards should you meet the appraiser someplace else.
In conclusion
Truly the best way to find a good online service to sell your car to requires research. However our research indicates that it is simply the fastest and easiest way to sell a used car. That said at least we narrowed the field for you.
