I'm selling a car - what do I need to know?

Asked by efritz (3255points) August 3rd, 2009

I’ve decided it’s time to part ways with my Oldsmobile (sob), what are some things people will ask me (besides mileage, year, make, etc.) and how can I be a good salesperson?

And does anyone want a nice silver Oldsmobile with awesome tires?

Here are the basics.

You might want to generate a Carfax report on it to show people, and you should know what the Bluebook says about pricing. Car Talk is useful, too, and you can list it there.

If you have the various repair invoices you might gather those up in an envelope to show to the buyer that the car has had routine maintenance. Otherwise, go to the site @Marina found and follow what it says.

The only other thing might be to go to your state or county’s vehicle registration website to be sure you have all the correct forms and procedures down. These vary slightly from state to state.

Oops, I somehow failed to see @Marina‘s post. Makes mine redundant, doesn’t it. Sorry.

What other people are asking for the same car. Check classifieds.
