Job Vacancies

Give your car a good cleaning!

The first and most important thing you should do before showing a car private party is clean inside and out. The extent of the detail will vary depending on the age of the car. For the most part, a good car wash and wax on the exterior and vacuum of the interior should be just fine.
If the car is newer, you will benefit by taking the car to a professional detailer and have them clean the interior, exterior and engine.

$$$ Saving Tip… Take your car to a full-service car wash as an alternative to a professional detailer. Ask the car wash perform some extra services, such as vacuuming and wiping down the interior–the car should come out looking good.

When your car is clean and shiny, you will give potential buyers the impression that you care about the car and have maintained it in good condition. On the other hand, a dirty car will give exact opposite impression, and may unfairly devalue your car in the eyes of the prospective buyers. On average, the cleaner and more well kept a car looks, the quicker you will sell it.

Fix Obvious Damage!

The last thing you want to do is give potential buyers a reason not to buy your car…
Fix small but obvious problems such as headlight cracks, mirror cracks, upholstery damage etc. You will spend little time and money and impress potential buyers with your attention to detail.
Be selective when it comes to repairing body damage on your car. Spending to repair major body damage rarely increases your return on the investment. In other words, usually fixing major body damage is more of a hassle then its worth-simply explain to the buyer that you have taken money off the price of the car to reflect the damage done.
Small dents and scratches

Paintless dent repair can be a good alternative to traditional body shop repairs for small dents and dings. Paintless dent repair is done using special tools to massage the dented metal back to its original position without painting the vehicle—the work can usually be done in a few hours.
For small scratches and chips, airbrush touch up is a good option. Touch ups are done very quickly and inexpensively.Windshield and Tires

$$$ Saving Tip… If you have multiple dents to repair, try to negotiate a deal to repair several dents at the same time for less than it would cost to repair each dent individually
Windshield and Tires

Depending on the size and location of a windshield crack, you may need to repair or replace. Your best bet is to bring the car to a professional and have them tell you whether the damage is a safty hazard or small enough that its only cosmetic.
Tires should have a good amount of tread left. Your prospective buyer will likely ask for a much bigger price deduction for the replacement of the tires then it would cost you to replace them yourself. New to nearly new tires on a car are a big selling point.
Don’t forget the service records!

Give your buyer some confidence in the fact that your car has been loved and well care for. Have all of the service records neatly available for your prospective buy. If you can’t find them, simply contact the dealer and ask for copies.

Finally… Be honest about your car and its condition, don’t misrepresent your car in any way or the buyer may have some recourse after purchasing. Remember, you are selling private party so your car is being sold “as is”, you are not required to make and garentees or warrentys about the condition. After you have disclosed everything you know about the car it is up to the buyer to make sure they feel comfortable with the car and its condition. Include a statement in your bill of sale that the car is sold “as is,” and keep a copy of the bill of sale for your records. The bill of sale will establish the date of sale and help protect you from any further liability.

The best method of payment is usually a cashiers check or money order, avoid hassles associated with cash and personal checks.
