Are you finally ready to upgrade your ride to a fancier and more expensive one? Or are you planning a major purchase and need a lot of money urgently? In any case, selling your old car is the first step in achieving your goals. Today the best way to sell a vehicle quickly and effectively is to do it online, and with our tips your car will sell as fast as possible while helping you not lose any money.
Prepare the car for a sale
It’s an undeniable rule that good-looking cars in a premium condition sell faster, which means you need to do your best in order to make the car look presentable. Start with refining the exterior and interior of your vehicle: give the exterior a good wash and wax it afterwards. If there are any major paint defects, covering them will elevate the appearance of the vehicle. The interior usually needs to be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Don’t forget to clean the windows and mirrors – a steam cleaner works best when you need to get the job done.
Take good photos
There is nothing more harmful for a car selling process than an ad that only features one or two photos that are blurry and poorly lit. Your ad is the first time any potential buyer sees your car, which means the photos need to be eye-catching and detailed. The greatest time to photograph your car is the “golden hour” during the sunset and sunrise – the lighting at that time works wonders for the appearance of the vehicle. Take photos of every part of the car, including the interior and the dashboard, as well as a couple of stunning full body shots to give the buyers a full idea of what the car looks like.
Be flexible
If you’re in a need to sell your vehicle urgently, you’ll need to become more flexible – most importantly, in terms of pricing. No matter how low the price for your car is, potential customers will still try to negotiate with you, and if you refuse to negotiate, it can negatively influence your chances of selling fast. Instead you can set a slightly higher price than you intended to and let the negotiation process finally reach your desired price. Flexibility is also needed when the buyer is arranging a meeting – try to accommodate to the buyer’s needs in terms of the test drive.
Choose your price
Setting the price for your vehicle can be tough – you don’t want to choose a price that is too low because it means you may not be able to make as much money from the sale as you want, but you also cannot choose a high price since it will make it much harder to sell the vehicle quickly. Your best solution here is to compare your car to other online offers. While comparing the vehicles, try to remain impartial: no one knows about your car’s flaws more than you do, which is why it should be easy for you to choose the right price. Try to pick a price that will make your car stand out from the rest.
Advertise online
If you want to reach as many potential Nigerian customers as possible, there is only one place you need to advertise your car: Jiji.ng. There you will find multiple options not only for posting your ad, but also for promoting it and making it more visible. Advertising on Jiji is one of the smartest things you can do to make the selling process quicker. Finally, don’t forget to share links to your Jiji ad on your social media profiles – that way you will get a better chance of a fast sale.
