California, Used Car Capital of the World

To sell a used car in California, there are some important advantages one should know about. Our grand state is supported in large part by the business of cars: buying, selling, maintaining and customizing them. For some of the smaller car companies, like Hyundai for its first few years and Porsche for most of its history, the Golden State represents from half to nine-tenths of their sales.

 

Porsche, in fact, sells more cars in just Southern California than it does in all of Germany on a yearly basis. There are so many cars in Los Angeles, for example, that it is estimated that their surface area accounts for one quarter of the city's 469 square miles.

 

Simply put, there are a heck of a lot of cars in California.

 

And yet the market is neither glutted nor unstable. There is so much turnover -- so many people moving in, moving out, moving up, and moving on -- that the used car market is in constant flux, while at the same time one can count on there being just about anything and everything available.

 

Once again, that's both a help and a hindrance to the used car seller. The population centers have the people that you need to reach for selling your car, but that's where you also face the most competition from other sellers. It would be nice to think that you could really put your car up for sale on one of those Internet sites that supposedly get you buyers from Florida or New York, but the fact is that the overwhelming majority of used cars are sold to people living within a 20-minute drive of the seller.

 

How to Successfully Sell Your Used Car in California

With so many other vehicles for sale, the least successful way to sell your used car would be through the local classifieds. You'll have the paperwork to attend to, the car to spruce up, ads to place and/or flyers to get printed, phone calls to field, and appointments to set. But what many car sellers find most difficult is locating all the maintenance and service records for the vehicle, or deciding whether to pay for a title check to verify the car has never been in a recorded accident.

 

Informed car buyers require a lot to make a purchase. And they never seem to offer what you expect.

 

So what about selling to a dealership? Well this can guarantee that you at least sell the car, but dealers will over you as little as one-third the price you request and will almost always fall several thousand dollars below your asking price.
