Used Car Megasellers: Car Max Facts
If you want to sell your used car, you've probably considered selling it at Car Max Online. It's amazing anyone uses the paper classifieds anymore. But that's the internet for you.
Among other areas that it has revolutionized, it is now claimed that most cars are now sold on the Internet. And leading the way, besides the 800-pound gorilla eBay, are such sites as Car Max, Vehix and, of course, Cars.com. These used car megasellers wouldn't be in business if people weren't using, and succeeding with, their services. But who is succeeding on their website? Private sellers or car dealerships?
Unfortunately, the successful users are often the dealerships. You'll rarely even see a private seller's used car ad show up on the first page of results for a car search. So what do you do if you need a quick turnaround on your used car sale? Because it probably won't happen with a megaseller like Car Max.
The Facts about Car Max
We're going to tell you how to sell your car fast without stressing with a website like Car Max. However, let's get the facts straight first, so you understand exactly what you'd be in for were you to try and sell your car through this and other used car websites.
First, you have to set up an account--and that requires a credit card. Then you have to collect all your car information and service records, fill out forms, upload pictures (you do have a digital camera to take pictures, don't you?). Then you have to write a powerful ad that will actually catch someone's eye as they look at fifty other cars exactly the same as yours.
Once you jump those hurdles, you have to decide how much "ad coverage" you can afford. Do you want to advertise just in your region? Do you need a bigger audience, like state-wide? How can you even know the answer to these questions? They're supposed to be the car sale experts, not you!
OK, so let's say your ad finally goes up. Did it make it to the front page of car results? Not unless you have a unique vehicle, most likely. All the car dealerships that pay a lot of dough and can guarantee consistent inventory get the first pages of results. That leaves individual sellers like you as hidden as you were before you bought the ad in the first place.
But let's take the best-case scenario and assume you somehow make the first page of car results. How much money did you have to invest to make your car showable? Did you have all your records for every maintenance procedure ever conducted on your vehicle? How many broken appointments, games of phone tag, and test-drives will it take before someone decides to buy? Finally, when you make the sale, how prepared are you to handle the DMV transfer, bill of sale, and other paperwork? And Car Max is a high-tech, modern solution?
