Are you driving a car that you don't like only because you don't know how to sell it? Are your kids squished at the back seat because you cannot exchange your 5-seater to a new or used 7-seater? Are you afraid of losing when selling your used car? This article contains the most important 10 tricks to sell your car online privately.

 

10 tips to sell your used car quickly:

 

1. Prepare your car to leave you:

 

Vacuum up dirts, empty the ashtray and get rid of all coins, and empty the car boot. Finally, get the car washed and even waxed. Don't forget about the tires.

 

2. Be upfront and organised: 

Some people try to save couple of hundred Riyals by making the buyer pay for the test. However, our stats show that cars with ready and recent inspection test are likely to sell quicker. So get your car inspected and have all maintenance records and warranties available. There are a number of inspection companies in Salwa Road, in Doha.

 

3. Price right: 

 

Check with a local car showroom and online resource such as QMotor.com to come up with the right price for your car.

4. Take good photos: 

 

Take tens of pictures to prove that you have nothing to hide. Take shots from all sorts of angles - interior, exterior, the engine, car boot, dashboard, and tires. Keep steering wheel is straight position, trust us, its better for the photos.

 

(At least the primary photo must show the car from a good angle)

 

5. Sell your car by writing:

 

Be specific. Avoid gimmicky phrases like "fully option" and "like new." Be honest about the car's flaws too. Show a dent. Mention a stain. This will make a potential buyer trust you because no used car is perfect and that's fine.

 

6. Advertise in the right place:

 

We encourage sellers to use the QMotor.com portal to list their car for sale. This is for three reasons; a) diversity audience (from all over Qatar and different nationalities), b) Good advertisement packages (Basic, Silver, Gold, Platinum), c) You can list your car in less than 5 minutes and buys can find your car in seconds.

 

7. Answer all calls:

 

Don't create an ad then not answer calls for couple of days. Car hunters want to have immediate answer, so always answer calls. and it is diffenetly not the same when you call them back!

 

8. Dress for success:

 

Wear decent clothes when you go meet the potential buyer, and be confident.

 

9. Don't negotiate before the test drive:

 

Give the potential buyer a chance to drive your car before discussing prices.

 

10. Be prepared for any issues:

 

You need to know things such as transferring registration, fees, and paying any traffic bills. Be prepared to answer any question from the buyer.
