How not to sell your car

If there’s one thing that private party sellers hate doing the most its parking a car all day long where drive-by traffic can see it in the hopes that someone will buy it.  Empty corner lots, parking spaces facing a main avenue, grassy street curbsides, where ever you think a lot of people will see your car as they drive by are all candidates.  But while grassy knolls and other supposed hotspots may get you a lot of on-lookers, the whole thing is just so much more trouble than its worth.

The problems and hassles of parking a car thats for sale are enough to make you give up the first day:

• Drive to the location, usually hard to reach as its not meant for parking
• Inconveniencing a friend or family member to drive along unless you plan on walking back
• Drive back to the location several times that day to meet with potential buyers, taking someone else’s car unless you have another
• At risk for towing, at even greater risk of having to pay for several parking tickets
• Picking the car up at the end of the day

Its an all day affair filled with tension, hassle, and usually little hope of making a sale that day.  A lot of time, energy, and resources go into that routine over the weeks, maybe months, it takes to find a buyer.

Focusing that same energy into our Premium Classified Ad takes less effort and gives better results.  Record a video clip of your car and a little sales pitch giving potential buyers a virtual walk around and embed it in your online classified ad.  Affix your included 11″x17″ magnetic For Sale signs on the car and use it like you would every day, they’re highly visible and direct interested parties to your online ad.  Finally, take advantage of the fact that a majority of used car buyers begin their shopping online.  Monitor your own included chatroom that is included with every classified ad to instant message shoppers as they view your ad.  Be available, answer questions, chat someone through your video and you’ll schedule a showing with a well qualified lead.

Now, instead of driving back and forth all day and paying parking tickets, you can find buyers by chatting online while you surf the web from the comfort of your own home or office.
