How to Sell Your Used Honda in Southern California
Honda owners would drive their cars forever if they could, but even they must sell at some point. Fortunately, Hondas are not only some of the most reliable cars on the market, they have another benefit: used Hondas keep their resale value better than most cars.
A used Honda in good condition with fair mileage should be an easier sell than most cars, but if you live in Southern California—anywhere from Los Angeles to Orange County to San Diego to Palm Springs—and are looking to unload your used car, you should be aware of your options.
The Old-Fashioned Way to Sell Your Used Honda
Probably the first idea to come to mind is to sell your used Honda Civic, Accord, Prelude, Pilot, or so on yourself. If you're old-fashioned, you can buy a For Sale sign—heck, you can even make your own—and stick it in the back window, listing your phone number and your price. With so many cell phone users these days, you'd think that this was the easiest way to go, but in the end, you're at the mercy of traffic patterns, rubberneckers, meter maids, and parking regulations.
A step above, you can take out an ad for your used Honda in the newspaper or the online classified sites. In fact, a lot of newspapers have online equivalents these days. In both cases, this can cost money—and have you ever tried to decipher those newspaper ads? They might as well be written in another language.
Either way, you have several more hoops to jump through: you'll have to be in contact with the potential buyers. You'll have to talk to them, schedule an appointment to see the Honda, let them drive your baby around, take care of the paperwork, and in the end, hope their check doesn't bounce (it's not a nice idea, but unfortunately, it's been known to happen). This isn't even your job—and there's always the issue of how much money you'll really be pocketing after all this effort.
If you own a Honda, you probably pride yourself on being practical and not falling for the hype. Thus, you probably don't want to deal with a used car lot. Ask yourself: Do you really need to put yourself through the hard sell and the suspicious words? Do you want to make a deal or do you want to get rid of your car? You don't have to subject yourself to either, and there are easier ways to sell your used Honda.
