Women are losing out on millions of pounds each year because they’re unnecessarily frightened of selling their cars privately, a report from evecars.com, reveals.
Worried about the pitfalls of a private sale, thousands of women simply accept the cutthroat prices of a local dealership instead.
It may seem a daunting prospect, but by taking a few simple precautions and investing a couple of extra hours in cleaning and research, women sellers could add hundreds of pounds to the value of their car.
With over 7.5 million used cars sold in the UK every year - almost three times more than new cars - and women influencing up to 80% of car-buying decisions, women had better wise to the fact the dealers will give a lower price as they need to add on their profit. That money is yours and rightfully yours so, although it may be hassle, and I should know,
I have a car sitting on my drive waiting for me to take photos etc in order to sell, it is worth the time. By the way Renault Scenic ‘T’ reg 1.6 Special Edition Alize, metallic blue, only 42,000 miles, two careful owners, PAS e/w s/roof c/locking ex condition.
Is that a winning advert? Apparently it’s very important to have one, as is a clean car. Don’t let them test drive the car without you being in it, name your price and stick to it, don’t accept cheques and bankers drafts are also easily forged - I did not know that, so cash is best £2,300 please for the above car.
Hey, maybe we should set up a buy and sell section within motoring
