How to sell a car correctly under the new rules

To successfully sell a used car, pencil in 6 rules:

• prepare a DCP (purchase and sale agreement) in triplicate: for yourself, the buyer and road inspectors;
• check the documents for the car;
• indicate your, the buyer’s and the car’s details in the contract using a computer or manually;
• sign the contract and make sure that the buyer’s signature is there;
• Give away a car and get money in return;
• Prepare a tax return (if necessary).

Now let's look at each point in detail.

Preparation of copies of the agreement

New rules for selling a car make it possible to sell a car using DCT. The risks are minimal, the procedure is inexpensive - fill out the form in 5-10 minutes. There is no need to have the contract certified by a notary. The only thing is, for reinsurance, print out the vehicle acceptance certificate along with the DCP. This document will help prove that you actually handed over the car.

Experts do not advise drawing up a contract yourself - you may make mistakes or miss points. It is better to immediately download the current form online. Prepare 3 copies: leave one for the buyer, give the other to the traffic police (for re-registration), and keep the third for yourself. If only you have the contract, it will take a lot of time to justify yourself before the road inspector or even the court. For example, it will be difficult to prove that it was not you who drove at a speed of 150 km/h in the neighboring region.

Verification of documents

Make sure that you have all the documents on hand - PTS, STS, OSAGO policy, as well as a power of attorney if you are not the owner of the car. If the PTS is lost, you will spend time and money on restoration and eventually receive a duplicate - the transaction may not take place. It is easier with compulsory motor liability insurance and a certificate, but it will also take time.

If there is no space in the vehicle passport for a new entry, update the document before concluding the contract. If you do this through government services, you will save 30% of the fee: for issuing a new STS, making changes to the owner’s data, you will pay only 595 rubles. Or find out the traffic police details on the road inspection website, but then redoing the documents will cost more.

Registration of DCT

To register the sale of a car under the new rules, the seller must provide the traffic police with a passport, vehicle registration certificate and title. If you are not the owner of the car, the owner must write a power of attorney for you.

How to write

Fill out the contract form completely, preferably with a blue pen. Do not abbreviate words, write without errors or blots. Place dashes in empty columns.

What to write

Be sure to indicate the exact date of the agreement. Write down the mileage at the time of sale and the exact time when you handed over the car to the new owner - this way, protect yourself from a dishonest buyer or just a reckless driver who became the new owner of your iron horse. Display the technical features of the car, such as all-wheel drive. If the new owner tries to charge you money for non-compliance with the stated technical characteristics, you will have a document stating the opposite.

Where to apply

The safest way to arrange the sale of a used car in 2019 is to visit the traffic police department. Go to the MREO together with the buyer - you can issue a DCP and transfer documents for the car there. At the same time, you will check that the car has been registered again, and now it has a different owner.

What to expect

Often, new car owners take a long time to register their car. If the buyer does not re-register the car within 30 days, contact the road inspection. There you will submit an application to terminate the registration of the vehicle, because... don't know where it is. To draw up the document, grab your passport.

If the buyer does not show up, you can deregister the car. In this case, the car must be scrapped, and driving such a car is fraught with a fine.

Signatures in the contract

Make sure that the new owner of the car signs all copies of the contract. If you missed something, the traffic police may have questions. By signing, the buyer confirms that he bought your car and is now the legal owner. Your signature is a sign that you handed over the car and received the money. If there is no signature in at least one of the copies, the court may declare the transaction invalid. This will result in serious problems for you if the buyer of the car, for example, caused an accident and disappeared. He may claim that you forged his signature, and then you will not only get a “bucket” that needs to be repaired, but also problems with the law.

Receiving the money

The rules for buying and selling a car imply, of course, exchanging the car for money. As a rule, this happens in the following way: in the contract you specify the amount for which you are giving the car. Many sellers make it smaller than the real thing to avoid taxes. For example, a car cost 190 thousand rubles, and the seller writes 140 in the contract. Accordingly, when terminating the transaction, they pay the buyer less than it actually was. This is wrong, illegal, but happens often. Moreover, 99 out of 100 buyers will not go to prove that they bought a car more expensive than stated in the policy.

When you receive the money, place it in a small bag or other inconspicuous place. No one should know that you have a large amount of money on you.

Give the buyer the keys, MTPL policy (if it is still valid), PTS, STS, service book (if available). Ready!

Preparation of a tax return

First, let's figure out in what cases it is not necessary to draw up a declaration:

• if the car has been owned for more than 3 years;
• the price of the car when selling is 250 thousand rubles or less;
• the car was sold for the same money as it was bought, or cheaper.

For example, you drove a car for 2 years, after which you sold it for 500 thousand. The difference between this amount and the established tax deduction of 250 thousand rubles will be taxed. We count:

500 – 250 = 250 tr.

In your tax return you indicate:

• car make, model
• body type
• state number at the time of sale
• year of issue
• your full name

You fill out the tax return and submit it to the Federal Tax Service from January 1 to April 30 of the year following the year of sale of the car. So, if you sold the car on August 15, 2017, you submit the declaration no earlier than 4 months later.

Attach the declaration to the declaration and a certificate from the road inspection, which contains information about the car and the transaction amount.

According to the tax payment receipt, pay the amount indicated in the declaration to the bank no later than July 15 of the year of filing the declaration.

The rules for selling a car also include the seller’s confidence in the cleanliness of the car - external and legal.

You can check your car online using the Autocode service. The report may reveal problems you weren't aware of. For example, you will see information about the seizure, the date the car loan was issued. Or you will find out that the previous owner has several fines, the mileage is incorrect, or the car has been stolen.

If the car’s history is “clean”, show the results of the online check to the buyer. This will build trust in you and the car, and will also help sell the car for more money.

If you don’t have time to visit a car service center and find out the technical condition of the car, involve an on-site inspection “Autocode”. You can do this shortly before meeting with the buyer. Leave a request on the website or in the mobile application, then tell the specialist a convenient place and time for the meeting.

The on-site technician will assess the condition of the suspension, engine and other components, check the geometry of the body, paintwork, and analyze the operation of the battery and sensors. A specialist will definitely evaluate the interior and look for signs of twisted mileage or exploded airbags. The technician will also drive the car for several hundred meters and thus check for problems in the chassis, steering, and brake system. The price of a detailed inspection using professional equipment is from 2,600 rubles.

The rules for selling a car are the same for everyone. A conscientious seller will make sure that the buyer has a positive opinion about the previous owner of the car. If you don’t know about any problems, and the new owner of the car realizes that he bought a “bucket”, he will blame you for deception. Or the buyer will be dishonest and say that he discovered repainted parts after an accident, although he himself became a participant in it. Make sure that the car has no pitfalls and that it is technically sound. And then sell with a clear conscience.

5 ways to sell a used car: choose the quick and profitable one

So, the car is washed, the interior is cleaned. Spot repairs of the body were carried out so that chips and scratches were not visible. All that remains is to quickly find a buyer.

1. Selling to friends or relatives

The advantage of this solution is obvious. There is no need to look for a buyer yourself and fear that he may turn out to be a fraudster who will deceive you when concluding a purchase and sale agreement. Still, the relative is a trusted person. But this method also has disadvantages. A relative may ask to reduce the price or buy the car in installments. Like, there is not much money now. I will give 50% of the cost immediately, and the rest within a year. Another danger is that the seller may be bullied with claims: fuel consumption is high, the engine is eating oil, the headlight is burnt out. As a result, there is a chance to completely quarrel with loved ones.

2. Advertisement on the rear window

We stick a sign on the rear window with the word “For Sale” and a phone number. In this case, it is advisable to place the car in a prominent place where there are a lot of people. Let's say, near an auto parts store. If someone is interested, he will immediately be able to inspect the body and look into the interior. If you like everything, he will call for a more thorough check.

You, in turn, must know everything about your car in order to clearly answer any questions that arise. And there is no need to be disingenuous, otherwise the buyer may suspect something is wrong. They will ask you to check the technical condition - agree. You can agree on whose expense the diagnostics will be. Let’s say, if after carrying out the diagnostics they find some kind of malfunction, you pay for the diagnostics. If not, buyer.

Disadvantages of such independent selling: firstly, you need to walk. Secondly, outbid buyers may call and, when bargaining, will reduce the price to the maximum, frightening that “you will never sell this old car anyway.”

3. Selling on the car market

At any car market you need to pay for a place to park your car. A day of parking costs 1000-1500 rubles in cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg. Others are cheaper. The effect of this method of selling is questionable. You can find a buyer right away, or you can wait for weeks, giving your hard-earned money every day to pay for the site. Ineffective, because there is the Internet with its free advertisements.

If you decide to use this method of selling, remove all your belongings from the glove box and trunk in advance. What if someone agrees to buy your car, but there is nowhere to put things.

The main disadvantage of this method: there are many resellers in the car market, and you need to be prepared for this. Don't listen to these people. They just want to reduce the price and buy your car cheaper.

4. Sales through a car dealer or intermediary

Certainly a fast, but not the most effective way to sell a car. As an advertisement from, say, Car Price promises, they will buy a car from you today. But at what price?

The car will most likely be valued below its real value. Plus they will take a commission for services. Then the service technicians will definitely prove to you that you are selling junk cars and the only way to get rid of the illiquid stuff is to give it to a trade-in as soon as possible. There is no benefit in this, especially when the final price of the car is already low.

5. Selling via the Internet

By posting an ad on the Internet, you don’t pay anything, and that’s good. The whole country can see your car. Finally, you are sitting in the office, while hundreds or even thousands of people are looking at the car. There are a lot of advantages.

The ad text should be concise and clearly describe the vehicle. You can write a list of work and components replaced over the past year or two. Indicate everything except consumables. If the car is less than three years old, it is better to skip this point. There is no need to write the reason for the sale - this is unnecessary information. You can write that when you buy a car, a set of winter tires will be a gift. Such bonuses attract buyers.

You need to photograph the car against a neutral background, so that there is no garbage or dirt behind it - such a background psychologically repels buyers.

It is useful to get a separate SIM card before placing an ad, so that later you will not be disturbed about the sold car. However, some online services hide your direct phone number by publishing another number in the ad with automatic forwarding to yours. This is a very convenient feature.

Finally, before you place an ad, look at what other buyers are asking for a car of your year of manufacture and with approximately the same mileage. This will be your guide. If you want to sell your car quickly, of course, set the price lower.

Summary and tips

In short, we consider selling a car via the Internet the most effective way to quickly and profitably sell a car. And finally, a few tips. When you arrange a meeting with a potential buyer, always take with you your vehicle title, passport, and blank sales agreement forms. If the buyer likes the car, you can complete the deal right away without hesitation.

Now, when selling a car, you do not need to deregister the car, and this is a plus for the seller. According to the simplified scheme for selling a vehicle, the buyer registers the car. He is given 10 days for this.

The seller’s job is to find a buyer and conclude a deal with him. Then receive the money and hand over the documents. The remaining actions fall on the shoulders of the acquiring party. You just need to conclude a legally competent purchase and sale agreement.

Instructions: how to sell a used car

According to the analytical agency Autostat, the volume of the Russian used passenger car market in the first seven months of 2019 amounted to almost 3 million units. And at the end of 8 months, the share of the secondary market was almost 78%, that is, 3.5 times more used cars are sold in Russia than new ones. We tell you what ways there are to sell your old car and what you should pay attention to.

What is valued on the secondary market

On online sites you can find advertisements for the sale of almost any used goods - from summer cottages to paper bags of famous brands. It would seem that every product has its own buyer - but with at least one caveat: something practically does not lose in price and has high liquidity, while something can lie on a virtual counter for months, waiting in the wings. This is also true when selling a car.

There are several factors that determine the demand for a particular car in the secondary market:

1. Make and model. Cars in the premium segment, oddly enough, lose value faster. This is especially true for flagship models (executive class). Such machines have serious power characteristics, and they are filled to the brim with complex electronic systems. Because of this, they are very expensive to maintain - and even more so to repair. Therefore, those who can afford to purchase such models new update their fleet once every 3–4 years with the advent of a restyled modification, or once every 6–7 years with the release of a new generation. To buy such a car in used condition and not tear your hair out later, you need to have serious experience. At the same time, when purchasing a car with a capacity of more than 250 horsepower, you become the owner of not only a large reserve under the accelerator pedal, but also a transport tax of at least 37 thousand rubles per year. Therefore, budget segment models are more liquid.
2. State. Even the most liquid car model on the secondary market will sell for a very long time (or quickly but cheaply) if its condition leaves much to be desired. Moreover, mileage is not always the most important parameter: if a car has traveled 200 thousand kilometers on German autobahns and was serviced by a dealer in Germany, its condition will be an order of magnitude better than that of a car that has driven 100 thousand kilometers on Russian roads, occasionally receiving updated lubricants in garage workshop. The external condition of the car is important, because it is by this that the owner’s attitude towards the vehicle is usually determined: a situation in which a car whose body is half eaten by corrosion is in perfect technical condition is, frankly speaking, unlikely.
3. Year of manufacture, number of owners, equipment. The fact that an old car does not mean a bad one is not obvious to everyone. Selling a car with a 10 or 15 year history is very difficult. Especially if you want to get an adequate amount for it. Here you will have to either look for a connoisseur of the model, or learn to restrain the pressure of those who like to bargain. The number of owners also plays an important role: if you are selling a car that is accompanied by a duplicate vehicle passport, you should be prepared for a large number of inconvenient questions and checks. Finally, the vehicle's equipment is important. The hardest thing is to sell cars in the basic and maximum versions (if we are not talking about premium models): few people want, on the one hand, to purchase an “empty” car, and on the other, to overpay for sometimes unnecessary options.

“I sell it myself. Sites, resellers - please do not disturb"

Such lines are easy to find in many private advertisements. Today there are two main resources for selling a car yourself - auto.ru and avito.ru. Moreover, posting ads on these sites is free of charge. Conditionally - because there are a number of restrictions. For example, on both sites you will have to pay for posting an advertisement for the sale of commercial equipment. Avito allows you to post only one active offer for free. Avto.ru - no more than one within 60 days, and no more than 4 per year. Moreover, the second platform went further - for Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, as well as for the Moscow, Leningrad and Sverdlovsk regions, there are special lists of brands and models, information on the sale of which can only be published for a fee. True, these modifications include only fresh premium cars.

The sites also request the vehicle’s VIN code. It is not necessary to indicate it, but a note about it will be in the ad. This is done so that moderators can check for restrictions on registration actions, the actual number of owners and registered accidents. If you have nothing to hide, these procedures will not make the sale difficult.

It is worth mentioning additional selling tools - raising the ad to the top, color marking, etc. Naturally, all these privileges are paid separately. For example, the “Turbo Sale” package on Avito will cost almost 2 thousand rubles. With Avto.ru everything is somewhat more complicated. Here a lot depends on the cost of the car. For example, a comprehensive offer for a car whose price does not exceed 300 thousand rubles will cost 6.5 thousand rubles, and for a car valued at more than 1.5 million rubles - 8.3 thousand rubles.

Selling your car yourself has a number of advantages.

• You determine the price yourself. Of course, in order to sell the car quickly enough, the price must be adequate. If the car has some features (for example, non-standard equipment or tuning) that only understanding buyers will appreciate, the cost can be significantly increased. On the other hand, if there is a need to quickly sell a car (or, as they say, “throw it away”), setting a minimum price will help.
• No intermediaries or commissions. If you do not want to use additional services when placing ads, selling your car will be completely free.
• You are using a car. That is, during the period of sale you are not left without a vehicle - convenient for those who are used to traveling by car, and those who need a car for work.

However, there are also disadvantages.

• Communication with potential buyers, resellers and sites. After publishing an ad, you are unlikely to be able to avoid intrusive offers to buy the car or place it on the site. And, frankly, the buyers are not always pleasant.
• Waste of time showing the car. As a rule, the car has to be shown twice: the first time for a visual inspection, and the second time for a technical check. This does not always happen on the same day and in a convenient place. And it’s not a fact that they will buy the car.
• Bargain. Not all motorists know how to competently defend the advertised price. Meetings with resellers are especially difficult - their work is largely based on reducing the cost of the car as much as possible during the auction. And many owners, trying to quickly sell their old vehicle, follow the lead of such buyers.
• Preparation of documents. You will have to independently draw up a purchase and sale agreement, and also check the funds if the payment is made in cash. Mistakes here can be very costly.

Essentially, a trade-in is the exchange of a used car for a new one with an additional payment. Such operations are carried out by official dealers. But each official has its own restrictions. For example, most often domestically produced models (VAZ, GAZ, etc.) are not included in the trade-in program. Dealers then sell used cars themselves or through partners. It turns out that such an operation seems to be beneficial for everyone: you quickly get rid of your old car, and the dealer, in turn, sells you a new one. However, there are some nuances.

• Saving time and nerves. You do not need to show the car yourself or communicate with potential buyers. That is, you can sell your car right on the day you contact us without any announcements or waiting. Managers of dealerships are no less interested in you than you are in them, so communication takes place as correctly as possible.
• Bonuses. Typically, the dealer is willing to offer an additional discount on a new car when you sign up for a trade-in. It is often quite significant.
• No red tape with documents. The employees will complete all the paperwork themselves. So the likelihood of making a mistake and getting into an unpleasant situation is minimized.

• Car price. In order to get a discount on a new car and not be left in the red, the dealer tries to underestimate the cost of your car. Even minor flaws are taken into account, which many private buyers will not pay attention to. When journalists from the Autoreview portal conducted an experiment and tried to trade-in a car that, according to their estimates, could be sold on the secondary market for 850 thousand rubles, the showrooms’ offers turned out to be 4–18% lower.
• Not all models and modifications are included in the program. Even if it is stated that the dealer is ready to accept any car for trade-in, he, as a rule, has an internal list of parameters that the car must meet. He will not purchase something that is extremely difficult to resell later.
• No bargaining. Most often, the amount that the dealer is willing to offer you is final. And arguments that the price is below the market average are not taken into account.

If you do not plan to purchase a new car, then a trade-in is obviously not suitable. Then, in order not to have to deal with selling yourself, you can use the services of platforms. Most of them offer to display your car for a certain amount (it depends on the size and location of the site). One of the largest venues is the Moscow ATC. There are also companies that are ready to buy your car and then resell it themselves.

The positive aspects of this method:

• You don't need to show the car yourself. The inspection takes place on site. Here you can check the technical condition of the car and take a test drive.
• There is no need to communicate with potential buyers and bargain. Until the actual sale, all contacts occur remotely, through the company manager.
• Preparing the car. The sites provide pre-sale vehicle preparation services. It allows you to hide traces of use and bring it into the most attractive form for a potential buyer.

But there are also some disadvantages:

• Price. If we are talking about buying a car, the price will be lower than the market price, since the site makes money on resale.
• Commission. Naturally, there is a fee for placing a car on the site. However, no one will give you a guarantee that the car will be sold. So there is a non-zero chance of wasting money. There are salons that charge commissions only for successfully completed transactions. For example, the Auto-Start salon indicates on its website that its commission is 1.5–5% depending on the cost of the car and what its buyer pays - but it is clear that the chances of selling the car above the market value are limited.
• Distrust of sites on the part of buyers. Many consider private sellers exclusively, since they consider such offers to be more honest and want to communicate directly with the owner.

Resellers

They purchase cars from private individuals for resale. At the same time, preparations are carried out to eliminate traces of use: dry cleaning, repair of seat trim, steering wheel and gearshift lever, as well as windshield replacement. Sometimes after this the mileage is reduced, which is why some experienced motorists do not like resellers.

The main advantage of selling a car this way is saving time: often the car can be sold on the day of the first inspection.

The downside is the unfavorable selling price. Some resellers begin to actively bargain directly over the phone, and not very experienced drivers give in under the pressure of their arguments.

This sale can also be done online. For example, the Car Price service allows you to sell a car to a dealer at an online auction, and receive funds at the site’s office (dealers make money on resale, that is, again, they strive to purchase your car at a price below the market price). The service earns from a commission from dealers of 2–10% of the transaction.

Two car owners in the same city decide to change cars at the same time - due to a new addition to the family, a change in type of activity, or a move to a country house. Therefore, on the Internet, you can find notes in advertisements stating that the seller is ready to consider exchange options. In this case, the coupe can be exchanged for an SUV, and the SUV can be exchanged for a minivan or van. There are two types of such transactions - with an additional payment or “key to key”.

In essence, such a transaction is a trade-in carried out between private individuals. That is, the sale and purchase of a car occur simultaneously in one place.

The downside is that there is a limited selection of such offers: after all, most sellers prefer to exchange the car for money.

Sales for spare parts

The most desperate step of all of these is selling a car for disassembly: the buyer purchases it entirely and uses it as a donor of parts and mechanisms, which are sold separately. This method is used when the car has restrictions on registration actions (for example, documents are lost or the car is not cleared through customs) or when there is serious damage when restoring the car is impractical. In such a situation, of course, there is no need to talk about a profitable sale of the vehicle.

How to sell a car quickly?

Tip #1. Where to sell a car?

Do you want new experiences or is your car outdated and you want to change it?
You are interested in many questions: how to quickly sell a car, how to carry out your plan safely and as profitably as possible, how to avoid a number of problems (where to place an ad, how to prepare a car for sale, what price to set, how to protect yourself from possible scammers, etc.)? Then we present to your attention some useful tips in the area of ​​“How to sell a car correctly”, which will be published on our website within a month, and we hope they will be useful to you.

So, you have decided to sell your used car. And, of course, you want everything to go quickly, as profitably as possible and without problems. You have several options:

Tip #2. How to find a buyer?

Tip #3. How to prepare a car for sale?

Most often, the operation of a car does not pass without leaving a trace. During operation, both the appearance and the condition of the internal parts and mechanisms of the car deteriorate, which can significantly reduce its value.

As a rule, a potential buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the car and, often, requires inspection by specialists.
Therefore, in order to sell a car at an adequate price, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive diagnosis, which includes: - checking all electrical equipment (alarm, central locking, low/high beam headlights, audio system, power windows, air conditioning, etc.)
- suspension check;
- checking the transmission;
— checking the brake system;
- engine check.

The appearance of the car is also important to a potential buyer. A decisive role in making a purchase decision is played not only by a clean body, but also by the condition of the paintwork. If there is any damage, it must be repaired before sale.

Thus, the pre-sale preparation of a car requires quite a lot of time and financial investments, because to identify shortcomings, and even more so to eliminate them, you will have to turn to specialists.

If you sell your car through the trade-in system, you will be spared unnecessary hassle and cash costs.
Professional specialists will carry out pre-sale preparation at the proper level. Not only will a comprehensive diagnosis of the internal parts and mechanisms of the car be carried out, but also measurements of the paintwork will be carried out, which will help determine whether the car was damaged in an accident and what parts were replaced. If there are significant deficiencies in the body, the body will be painted or polished (depending on the intensity of the damage).

After comprehensive diagnostics and pre-sale preparation carried out by professionals, an inspection sheet is issued, which indicates the vehicle’s condition. This document will serve as a guarantee for the buyer of the reliability of the purchased car and will be another compelling argument in favor of you as a seller and your car as a product.

Tip #4. How to properly write an advertisement for the sale of a car?

At first glance, this is a simple task that does not require any special sophistication. But on the other hand, why do some advertisements receive a large number of requests, while others do not provoke a reaction from potential buyers?

The secret is simple: it is necessary that a potential buyer can get as much information as possible from your ad. But this does not mean that you are required to write long memoirs about the life of the car. You just need four structured points in your ad:

1. Technical characteristics
In this paragraph, we recommend that you indicate in detail the following data: make, model, year of manufacture, mileage, gearbox, drive, engine displacement, cu.m. cm, engine type, body type, body color, interior color, presence/absence of warranty, number of owners, location of the car (i.e. where the potential buyer will have to go / or indicate that you are ready to come and show the car yourself at a time convenient for the potential buyer place).

2. Equipment
Here you need to indicate in detail the equipment that is included with the car (for example, anti-lock braking system (ABS), on-board computer, alarm, etc.).

3. Photos of the car
Competent visualization in this case can also speed up the process of finding a buyer.
But, to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary that the photographs be of high quality, corresponding to the season of sale (photos of cars against the backdrop of snowdrifts look quite funny when selling in the summer season), and they must also be attractive from an aesthetic point of view (at least the car on them must be clean and not stand in front of trash cans). Several photographs are required and in each of them the car must be shown from different angles. Color rendering is also of great importance.

4 .
Additional Information. This point is not mandatory, but if it is in your ad, it will increase the chances that the ad will be highlighted from the crowd.
Here we recommend that you indicate in detail information such as: the presence of additional equipment, what pre-sale preparation was carried out, the presence of additional decorative elements (airbrushing, stickers, etc.), window tinting. In general, you need to write down all the details that, in your opinion, are advantages.

BUT, if there are defects, this fact should not be kept silent either. The location and nature of damage/defects must be briefly and clearly indicated. This will save you and the potential buyer from fruitless meetings, during which initially undisclosed details are revealed and the potential buyer begins to persistently reduce the price or leaves without purchasing.

Thus, the rules for creating a competent, effective advertisement for the sale of a car are simple: maximum information about the car, structure and good visualization.

Tip #4. Precautions when selling a car.

1. Deposit
If the potential buyer is satisfied with the car in all aspects, but he asks for a time-out to make a final decision - for your peace of mind, ask for a deposit.
Typically, the deposit amount is 5-10%, but not less than $100, and if the buyer refuses to purchase, it remains with you as compensation for the penalty. Upon receipt of the deposit, you need to write a receipt confirming receipt of money from the buyer. It is worth noting here that the receipt indicates exactly “deposit” and not “advance” or “prepayment”, since other types of advance payment (except for the deposit) are subject to return to the buyer.

2. Meeting place
It is better to schedule a meeting to complete a transaction during daylight hours, in a crowded, familiar place. It is advisable to arrive half an hour before the appointed time at the meeting place and inspect it to see if there are any suspicious people or other factors that confuse you. If something seems suspicious to you, it will be safer to leave the area immediately.

The buyer may want to have the car diagnosed. This is a natural desire when buying a used car and it is your right. However, here you have the right to demand that diagnostics be carried out at the buyer’s expense. You also have the right to refuse a trip to an unknown service located somewhere outside the city and insist on carrying out diagnostics at an official service center or invite the buyer to come to a meeting with their specialist.

For your safety, it would be advisable to ask one of your friends or relatives to go with you to hand over the car and money. It is advisable that your companion also has a car, so that you can leave with the money calmly and safely.

If you receive payment in cash, in order to eliminate the possibility of receiving counterfeit money, you need to carry out the procedure at one of the bank branches, where you can ask employees to promptly check the cash for authenticity.

The safest options for transferring money include:

2. The second safe way to transfer funds is to transfer them to your personal account. In this case, the risks are also minimal for both you and the buyer, because the money will be transferred by the bank from the buyer’s account to your account only after you present the necessary documents for the sale of the car (exact information about the list of necessary documents for using this service must be clarified in advance in the bank).

Submit an advertisement

• you set the price for the car yourself;
• the buyer can reduce the price for shortcomings;
• advertisements quickly
• Selling a car may take some time.

What you should pay attention to when submitting advertisements:

1. Model and make of the car. This is a very important point. You don’t want to sell your car at a cheap price, just as if you set an inflated price, then you either won’t sell it at all, or you’ll spend a very long time selling your vehicle. Look at what average prices people write on the Internet, and, so to speak, ask the price.
2. How long did your “horse” run? It is important to understand that the mileage of the car plays an important role. If it has stood for a long time and you haven’t driven much, then replacement parts will not be needed for your car soon, but if you drive through potholes and bumpy terrain every day, then the same chassis can be killed.
3. Year of car manufacture. If you have a brand new car, then great. But if the car is an old year of manufacture, then its price drops significantly. You can try a little fraud: instead of the year of manufacture of the car, indicate its year of operation. This will allow you to earn a little money.
4. Equipment and country of origin. It is clear that the difference between China and Japan is big. Therefore, you can, of course, try to lie, but you yourself understand what wear and tear it is.
5. Gasoline or diesel. It’s clear that if your car is able to run on both gas and gasoline, the value of such transport is greater than just gas or gasoline. Saving is very important for some people, even in such a seemingly unimportant nuance.
6. Machine performance. If the car is after a major overhaul, then great. You can increase the price significantly, but if you have a damaged vehicle, then try to find other advantages why you want to sell it at a particular price.
7. Presentation of the car. To sell a car, you need to be able to show it off beautifully. First they judge by the cover, so if your car appears to the “future owner” to be clean and well-groomed, this will give a higher rating than if it is rusty, dirty and dirty on all sides.
