Advice on selling a car?
(hexbear.net)
I have a car I need to sell in roughly a month, but it's been so long since I've sold a car so no idea what the process is like. I have a good idea of the value, and the car runs pretty good over all. It definitely has some cosmetic wear and the AC is out, but no check engine lights or anything big. Also has a rebuilt title since I bought it at a discount like that, but I've been driving it for years and no major issues. Where do I sell it these days? Are there any scams to watch out for? How do sites like Carmax work and are they worth it? I'd love to hear any and all advice.
Facebook Marketplace seems to be the default place to sell cars these days. Just expect to have to filter out a lot of scams, sob stories, fakes, etc.
Online they usually make an offer based on the car and a questionnaire on the condition. I sold a car during the insane COVID inflation of car prices to Carvana and the process went fine. I just entered my current car's info into Carmax's online calculator and they offered $1000.
With a rebuilt title any type of trade-in is at a dealership is going to lowball you, so selling to another individual is probably best for your finances.
Yeah get a CarMax quote and that will be your lowest offer. They're pretty straightforward with how they do things. It's fine but there are ways you can get more value if you want.
All else fails just take their offer and move on.
