4.Avoid Overpricing 
Putting an unrealistically high price in your advert will almost certainly mean you’ll be missing out on a quick sale, but put too low a price and you’ll be inundated with time wasters. In the weeks prior to running your advert make sure you monitor the classifieds and websites to get an idea of the prices being asked for similar makes and models as yours. 

You can also get current values for your car from DesperateSeller.co.uk. To find a valuation for your car or any other car simply click here.

5.Closing the Sale 
Once the enquiries start coming through, make sure you respond promptly to keep the potential buyers interested. Encourage them to come to you to view the car as this helps to develop confidence with the buyer. Always let the buyer test drive the car, but make sure you accompany them to continue discussing the car’s selling points. 

Once you’ve agreed on a price, discuss method of payment. It’s best to request a  cashier’s cheque drawn on the buyer’s local bank and go with them to confirm. For cash transactions, both seller & buyer should sign a cash receipt.
