Used cars are in high demand right now. If you are in the fortunate position of having a car to sell without needing to replace it right away, now is the time to sell your car. At Horseless Carriage Cash for Cars, we are here to do exactly what it says in our name: give you cash for your car. Even though there is a demand for used cars right now and you have one to sell, we understand that you want to get the best price for your car and wait to sell at the right moment. Here are a few tips to help you decide when to sell your car.
Everything has a season
All activities have seasons, and car buying and selling is no exception, especially in New Hampshire. Unless you are selling your used car to another person who is buying it for their own use, whoever is buying your car plans to resell it. The easier it is for them to resell your car, the better price they can give you for it. Car buying is partially an outdoor activity, and the weather can deter potential buyers. Car sales tend to ramp up in the spring as the weather starts to get more pleasant and dealerships need inventory to sell. If a dealer knows that they will be able to sell your car quickly without it sitting on the lot for an extended period of time, they will be willing to give you a better price for it.
Popular models sell fast
If you’ve noticed a lot of a particular model on the road and you happen to have just such a car sitting in your garage, now is the time to consider selling your car. Just like any other product, cars have trends. In New Hampshire, SUVs and cars with four-wheel or all-wheel drive are always popular, but which makes and models change with time. A little internet research can quickly tell you what kinds of used cars are popular and selling well in your area.
Bring it in good shape
At Horseless Carriage, we require that any vehicle that comes to us pass a state inspection. And while that ensures that any car you sell to us is drive-able, that does not guarantee that the car will not require major repairs. We weigh the cost of repairing a vehicle before buying it, just as you would. The less work a car needs before we can resell it, the more cash we can give you for it. We do our own careful inspection as part of our valuation of the vehicle, so be transparent about any issues with the car you are trying to sell; we’ll find them, anyway.
