Over 7 million used cars were sold in 2005 and nearly half of these were sold privately. But Europe’s largest vehicle auction group, BCA, is warning that women motorists selling privately are potentially exposing themselves to fraud, theft or even worse scenarios.
Over three million people sell their car privately every year but sadly its the women, by potentially inviting strangers to their home, as well as letting them test-drive their car, at danger, underestimating the risks associated with selling their car privately. And even if this goes without incident, accepting payment of large sums of cash, personal cheques or banker’s drafts carry their own risks.
Selling a used car to a dealer should be the first choice for motorists for the ultimate in safety and protection but we all know you do not get the best price for your car. But now there is another secure way thanks to BCA’s Sure-Sell service at www.sure-sell.info which offers impartial advice to private motorists, as well as a secure way to sell and guarantee payment.
Sure-Sell can help women sell their car safely, swiftly and with payment guaranteed, for the ultimate in peace of mind, allows sellers to remain anonymous, which means women minimise the risks by staying at arms length in the proceedings. Through Sure-Sell, BCA offers sellers access to information and advice on what their car is really worth in the marketplace.
Well I need to sell my trusted Scenic so I will try this and let you all know.
