Make sure you have a roadworthy certificate for the vehicle you wish to sell
Get your vehicle cleaned - a full valet is usually well worth the investment
Prepare the service history - even if you haven't used the same company or done some of it yourself, be honest with a potential buyer
Make sure you are available to meet potential buyers once you have advertised your vehicle with My Car 4 Sale
Proof of ownership is your responsibility - have all necessary documentation ready
Bring your vehicle to the Farmers' Market on Saturday - And we'll take care of the rest!
Writing your advertisement
My Car 4 Sale will provide you with a form which you need to complete
This form contains all the information a potential buyer would need to know about the vehicle
Don't forget to provide as much information as possible. All vehicles are listed on our web site - the more you say, the more they know!
People buy a vehicle for many different reasons, so try to paint a word picture of value for money
Viewing / Allowing a Test Drive
A test drive is a reasonable request. Decide when, where and how, only after having given it some thought
Viewers should come to you. For safety reasons it is not recommended that you go to them or meet them half way.
Avoid seeing callers on your own
Keep hold of the keys at all times and when allowing a test drive, make sure you are in the vehicle (preferably with a friend) and the person driving the vehicle is insured and has a valid driver's license
Make sure the vehicle is fully insured until the sale is complete
Show Receipts, Bills and Service history
A lease is an agreement between a buyer and a financial institution
It may not be transferred and any existing lease must be settled in full prior to a vehicle being transferred to another party
A service history and receipts for any recent parts will show the vehicle has been cared for
Vehicles without a vehicle identification number (VIN) and/or engine number may be virtually unusable
Also remember the onus is on you, the seller, to inform the licensing authorities when you have sold your vehicle
