In this article, we’re going to tell you how to get your car prepared for sale as well as what methods are best for getting it sold quickly and efficiently.

So you’re ready to sell your car. Either the finance has gotten to be too much of burden or you just don’t need the thing anymore. So what do you do to sell your car and fast.

Well, first things first, to get maximum return for your car and give it maximum appeal, get it looking 100%:

• Wash it, wax it, vacuum it and even shampoo the carpets.
• Take a look at the engine bay and remove any bad looking grease stains and soot.
• Take it to a detailing professional to fix up any minor scratches or marks

Next, make sure that the paperwork is in order:

• Make sure that the most recent service is up-to-date
• Ensure that you have any log books and manuals that came with the car
• Get a roadworthy certificate wherever possible
• Check that the car is registered in your name and that you are legally allowed to sell it
• Do a VIN check to ensure that the vehicle isn’t under finance or a write-off in the system

Finally, and most simple:

• Take the car in to get valued at a car buying house to receive a great price and same-day payment* on your car.

*Same day payment may not always be applicable.
