How to Sell Your Used Car in Orange County
Used to be that living in Orange County meant you got away from all the bustle and ego of the big city and selling a used car in Orange County was just as simple. Now that it has its own prime time soap opera, "The OC," Orange County is even more famous than it used to be, and consequently has an extra amount of glitter in everything from its restaurants to its used car dealers. From the seaside mansions of Dana Point and Laguna Beach to the multimillion dollar yachts of Newport Beach and the perfectly coiffed lawns and hedges of Irvine, this is one very wealthy, very exclusive place to live, and the people have the rides to prove it.
And still, like any other place in our mobile and car-loving country, people are buying and selling used cars in Orange County right along with those pricey new ones. In fact, it is in just this kind of place, where people are climbing the ladders of success and building their dreams, that the markets for such things as better homes and better cars ensure a quality selection of those very items in the used marketplace.
A thriving economy that has people moving into miilion-dollar homes from half-million-dollar ones, and into a new Mercedes out of a used Toyota, means there are lots of great deals to be had for other folks just starting to climb those economic ladders. So Orange County, as you might expect, has a great used car market, and attracts buyers from San Diego in the south and Los Angeles to the north, especially for certain kinds of desirable models. With some people moving pretty rapidly up the socioeconomic scale, there are bound to be plenty of low-mileage, high-quality used cars coming into the market, and continuously. Great for buyers, but is it great for you if you're another seller?
Can You Compete With Other Sellers?
Selling your used car in Orange County's climate is unfortunately not easy. Not only do you have all the usual things to worry about, like DMV paperwork and missed appointments for showing the car, you now have to consider the increased competition. If you are selling one of the desirable models, whatever that might be at any given time, then you have to think of ways to separate yourself from the growing pack of people plying their own personal car ads. It's bound to be a frustrating exercise no matter how you approach it.
And do you really know what cars like yours are selling for? Do the "pricing experts" like Kelley Blue Book really stay on top of the day-to-day fluctuations in used car prices? Do they account for differences among regions of the country, between states and in the different cities? You will have to work pretty hard to determine what the right price is based on your car's age, condition, options and desirability. In addition to everything else you have to do, you are essentially applying for a second part-time job when you make the decision to sell your used car on your own, without help and without having all the information that you really need.
