Selling Tips

Pricing Your Car

The first step in figuring out what to price your car at is to do some research on similar vehicles. Go through your local classifieds and check used car websites for the going rate of cars like yours. Once you have a good idea of the range of prices, take in factors like recent repairs or upgrades to your car that might affect the price. Make sure you take into account things like mileage, the condition, and special features. You're not likely to find the exact same car as yours online, but thinking about how others are pricing theirs may save you a lot of headache in trying to determine a fair asking price.

Your asking price can be affected by a variety of things, many which people rarely think about, such as location, who's been driving the car, the gas efficiency, and any cosmetic or mechanical improvements. Location can influence how you price your car because local weather can affect the look and durability. For example, if you live near the ocean, the air tends to be more humid and salty, two factors which cause rusting in cars. As for who's been driving the car, younger drivers tend to be a little harder on the cars they drive whereas more experienced drivers are more careful. Where gas efficiency is concerned, conservation of energy and money is becoming more and more important to the everyday buyer, so boost your price a little if your car gets good mileage. If you've made some expensive upgrades to your car, such as new high quality tires, new engine parts that are still under warranty, or a nice paint job, make sure you compensate for those improvements in your asking price. Compile the receipts and work orders for those jobs to show interested buyers.

After you've done a little research, decide on an asking price and then add a few hundred dollars to the amount. Boosting your price like this will give you some negotiating room so that you can make your buyer feel like they're getting a deal, but you still get the price that you want. And when you decide on a price, stick to it because you should never have to settle for less than the car is worth. Even if the first person decides not to buy it because you won't go low enough, there will always be someone else who will come along and be more than willing to give you your asking price.
