How to Get the Best Deal When Selling Your Car
Selling your car can be a daunting task, but with the right knowledge and guidance, you can maximize your profits and make the process smooth and hassle-free. At AMT, our experienced buyers look at each car on its individual merits rather than relying on an automatic valuation, so if you’re looking for a company to give you the best possible price, you’ve come to the right place. We’re committed to helping you get the best deal when selling your car, and we’re here to share our expertise with you, with some top tips:
Know Your Car’s Value
The first step in getting the best deal is to understand the value of your vehicle. Factors such as make, model, year, mileage, and condition all play a role. We give individual valuations and our expert buyers will consider all those extras that a dealer’s book price, or automated quotation software simply doesn’t. To help determine the value, our buyers look at a range of factors, and not only look at condition and specification, but also look at the wider market conditions that may affect its value.
Documentation Matters
Gather all relevant paperwork, including service records, ownership history, and the vehicle’s title. Having a comprehensive record can increase buyer confidence and help you negotiate a better price. All cars that we buy need to meet the following criteria:
- 3+ Months MOT
- Is not and import
- Is not an insurance write-off
- V5 is in your name
- Has a full service history
- Has no serious mechanical issues
- Has no more than 50,000 miles
- Has never been used for private/commercial hire, rental or driving tuition
Preparation is Key
A well-maintained and clean car is more attractive to potential buyers. Consider investing in a thorough valet service to make your car shine. You will also need to address any minor repairs or maintenance issues before selling it.
