Important Things To Do Before Putting Up Your Car For Sale

1.     Clean it up

The most important thing to do before putting your vehicle on sale privately is to clean it up well. This ensures that your vehicle looks like it has been well maintained and taken care of.  You want to make sure that your potential buyers are seeing your vehicle at its best.

2.     Note down the details

Inspect your car well and be honest when you are ‘Selling your Car’. Note down every single detail of it from the model number, the miles it ran to the times you had to take it for the service. Write down everything you see and observe, so that you can give the buyers an accurate description of the car you’re selling.

3.     Compare offers

Don’t just rely on one company or Car Buyer. Call multiple private buyers, dealers and car removals agencies and note down their offers. Look for who gives you the best price along with added benefits such as free towing, free paperwork and instant cash on the spot.

4.     Remove personal belongings

It’s your responsibility to take out all the personal belongings before the Car Removal Companies arrive to pick up the vehicle. You’ll never get another chance to find your stuff. So look for items in and out of the way places as well as in the usual spots like the glove compartment, the trunk, under the seats, under floor mats, above visors, and anywhere else you might have stashed important items. Make sure that you’ve taken everything you want to keep out of the car.

5.     Look for valuable components to sell

If your car sale deal doesn’t cover the valuable accessories in your car –  like GPS or stereo systems – either take them out to use at your home or sell them to make some extra bucks.

6.   Remove plates

Make sure you remove your number plates and cancel your registration before Selling Out your Car to anyone.

7. Use up gasoline

If your car is still running before you sell it to the junkyard, you might want to use up the gasoline in the tank before you have it towed away. Take your family out for the last drive in your car and make a few more memories before the car is gone forever. Don’t worry about the value of the gas to the junkyard. They’ll have to drain all the fluids out of your car before recycling or scrapping the parts, and gasoline in the tank is a nuisance for them.

Or, you can avoid a majority of the above hassles – like cleaning up your car – by calling the auto experts at Cash Car Removal Sydney.
