Have a Used Car for Sale? Good Luck with the DMV...
When you first decided to sell your car, I'm sure the last thing you thought about was how to handle your DMV paperwork. However, many car sellers find that the biggest chink in the chain of events for selling your car occurs when dealing with the DMV.
Despite being computerized like everyone else now, the DMV is still a bureaucracy. We're all aware of how slowly things move there. It's as if the Department of Motor Vehicles simply is not subject to the normal rules of time and space.
For instance, on an ideal day, you should be able to get into the DMV, get your car's paperwork together, pick up the smog certificate, and then write a bill of sale - all steps you need to take if you intend to offer your used car for sale. But even before all that, you have to place some ads, make some flyers, get the car prepped and prettied up, buy gas and everything else. Then you have to wait for calls, wait for appointments, and wait as you drive around with people you don't know. And then someone might - might - buy your car.
Consider working with an auto buying service. They'll appraise your vehicle at your earliest convenience, and then give you a cash offer on the spot. That means you'll have a guaranteed, instant buyer at no cost to you. But that's not even the best part. Because as we've seen, even with a ready buyer, you can run into snags if your DMV paperwork isn't filled out properly.
The great thing about auto buying services is they handle all DMV paperwork, smog certification, and transportation of the vehicle. And if you work with the right company, they'll have dozens of years of experience behind them, giving you piece of mind that they know what they're doing. Such service companies have established relationships with the DMV and have the experience and track record to prove it.
Help with DMV Paperwork Is Great, but Why Else Would I Want to Work with an Auto Buying Service?
If you try to sell your car on your own, you'll have to either sell to a private party or to a dealer. You'll get more money from a private party, but you'll lose that extra 10-15% in advertising costs and man hours pursuing and pitching to potential buyers. Not to mention showing the vehicle, handling objections, attempting to close the sale, and lastly, that pesky paperwork.
And if you sell to a dealer, you will get the lowest possible price for your used vehicle because dealers have a lot of overhead to cover. They have to pay for their car lots, the salaries and benefits of their staff and maintenance people, and their business taxes.
On the other hand, by working with an auto buying service, you're guaranteed a buyer that will pay more for your vehicle than any dealer. Plus, it's free and with zero hassle. No costs, no wasted time, no stress, and of course, no paperwork!
