What's the best place to sell a used car?

[Maury Beniowski]

Looking at this from a best $$$ return perspective, of course...

Newspapers, Auto Trader, Buy & Sell, Auction, or what?

Too many choices nowadays...

Thanks in advance!

Auction is the worst unless they allow a reserve.

On-line will get you lots of 'hits' but probably a lot of scammers too.

The best way is to figure out who would buy your car and advertise to them: if its something students would afford, advertise there; more up-scale, then advertise there.

The other way is to go through an auto-broker: they buy vehicles for their clients and try to get the best price ... you can call them and find out if they have a client looking for such a vehicle and save the cost of the ad, though they will negotiate hard.

The best investment you can make in selling your car is to have it detailled ... it can cost up to $200 but it will present the vehicle at its best. Buyers believe if the car looks nice it will also run nice ... a car that needs cleaning probably needs service too.

Depending how much time you want to put into it, the swapmeet in Tswassen on Sundays works very well for selling and maximizing the return on your car.

I prefer the Buy & Sell type of papers myself

I have bought and sold many items in them, and they are usually the first source i go to when i wish to purchase something used.

Don't forget about the auto trader

Yeah, that one piqued my interest as well.

Tsawassen is not too big, so it shouldn't be too hard to find...
