When you’re selling a car in Milton it’s safe to assume you’re going to have to answer a ton of questions from potential buyers and not having answers is not going to go well. The best thing you can do is be prepared for anything but here we will list a few of the most common questions you should expect when selling your car.
Why are you Selling the Car?
This is most likely going to be the opening question of any potential buyer, and it’s a question with multiple functions. You could also think of it as “what’s the catch?” If the car you’re trying to sell is so good, why are you selling it?
This applies to all the questions but especially to this one, make sure you never lie to a potential buyer. If you’re selling the car in Milton because it has engine trouble then a potential buyer should also know that going in, else you find yourself becoming a con artist.
How Old is the Car?
This question will usually be accompanied by a few follow-ups: “How many owners had the car before you?” “What’s the car’s mileage?”. People want to know the history of any vehicle they are buying which means you also need answers to all these questions, at least to the best that you can find out.
The Mileage is easy enough to answer, all you have to do is check. For the others you can order a history report on the car which will fill in the broad details of the car’s history, or you can dig out the old documents from your purchase of the car.
What Condition is the Car in?
This is another question with a bunch of sub questions that will come after, and once again it’s important that you don’t lie about them. “Has the car been in any accidents?” “Has the car been regularly maintenanced?” “Have any parts been changed or replaced?” “Is there any damage?” These questions can have both a positive and negative affect on the sale depending on the buyer and the answers.
People don’t like it when cars have been in accidents but they do like regular maintenance and replacement parts as that means the car will likely cost them less to maintain going forward.
Do You Have all the Required Paperwork?
Buyers want to know you’re serious about selling your car in Milton and one way to check that is to make sure you have all your paperwork in order. Obviously the best answer to this one is to have all of your paperwork in order. Showing that you’re prepared and you know what you’re doing can be a strong comfort to a lot of buyers.
