How to Sell Your SUV in Southern California
It's time to sell your SUV. Don't deny it—SUVs aren't as safe as other cars, they get horrible mileage, and California gas prices aren't going any lower. There's also the environmental factor. If you've decided to get rid of your SUV, we can tell you how.
Why You Should Sell Your SUV
In Southern California, you can get from the beach to the mountains in a few hours. Everything you need is here, if you're willing to drive. Even though these rugged terrains are close by, Southern California is covered by freeways, where you'll do most of our driving. You don't need an SUV for Southern California's well-paved 10-lane highways, and you especially don't need to waste gallons of gas in an SUV while sitting in Southern California's well-known traffic jams.
Determine the Best Price for Your SUV
Once you've decided to sell your SUV, you could sell it yourself. For that, you have to figure out a good price for it. Kelley Blue Book is the authority on used car prices, but its requirements apply to only 5% of the cars on the market. Most cars don't have the perfect maintenance records, and they may not be in the ideal condition for a quick sale.
If your SUV is one of the few cars that meet Kelley Blue Book rules, congratulations! If not, good luck figuring out a fair price for it. If you go too high, you can scare off buyers. If you go too low, you'll lose money on the sale.
About those potential buyers: most are just like you, decent individuals who are looking for a decent deal. But when you're meeting up with numerous strangers and callers, you run the possibility of encountering some suspicious characters. Whatever their intentions, you have to deal with their test-drives, their haggling, and their schedules.
You can always go another route in Southern California, and not just on the freeway. Where there's smoke, there's fire, and where there are cars, there are dealerships. You can easily take your SUV down to a used car lot and have them take your car off your hands.
The perils of used car lots are well publicized. It's generally known that you'll get the lowest price from a used car dealer. After all, their profits have to go back into paying the salespeople, rent, and other forms of overheard. In addition, you'll be subjected to their high-pressure sales pitches and psychological games.
