Before you start looking\nto sell, there are a few things you need to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Price research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of your car may have changed dramatically since you purchased it, and is dependent on a range of factors including the age, make and market conditions. For these reasons, it is important to do your research to figure out a reasonable price that you would accept to sell your vehicle for. There are plenty of online tools that can help you do this, but it\u2019s important to understand the nature of the information you\u2019re collecting. Whilst classified sites are easily accessible for price research, they present the listing price rather than the sold price, so it is important to compare these prices with tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/pricespeoplepay.com.au\/valuation-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Prices People Pay<\/a> that give you actual sold prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Method of selling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selling Privately<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most popular ways to sell your vehicle is through\na classified platform, where you can list your car, take photos and describe\nthe car. People can then contact you to make an offer, and will often come and inspect\nthe car. Selling privately provides you with complete control over the sale\nincluding the price, however keep in mind prospective buyers will often try and\nnegotiate with you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling privately may also take longer than other avenues\nwhen you take into account preparing the car, listing and people inspecting the\nvehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Selling Online<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to go through the hassle of selling your\ncar privately, there are many providers who allow you to sell your car directly\nto them online. Some of these providers, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pickles.com.au\/sell-through-us\/diyinspect\">DIYinspect<\/a>, even allow you to take photos of the vehicle\nthrough an app and complete a remote inspection, meaning that you don\u2019t have to\nleave home to sell your vehicle. This can be a good option if you\u2019re looking\nfor a quick and hassle-free sale, and want to avoid the negotiations that come\nwith selling privately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trade-In or Sell to a\nDealership<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to buy your next car from a dealership,\nyou will often have the option to trade-in your old vehicle, and get a discount\non the price of your new car. The trade-in value of the vehicle is dependent on\na number of factors including the market, the make and model and the age and\ncondition of the vehicle. This can be a convenient option if you\u2019re looking for\na quick sale, and if you\u2019ve already selected the new car you\u2019re hoping to\npurchase. The dealership will be experienced in selling vehicles and can\ntherefore assist throughout the process. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before putting your vehicle on the market, ensure you do your research.
