Selling my car

[nightowl]

What is the best way to sell my car and get maximum value for it? But the problem is I don't even know what my car is worth.
I got no bite putting ads online. And I'm wondering if it's better to trade it in to a dealership or to a wrecker.

Year/make/model?

go to edmunds.com and kellybluebook.com

type the make, model, mileage and condition of your vehicle and it will spit out a fair market value price.

I use kbb.com and modify from there based on condition and whether I want it gone fast or am trying to get as much out of it as possible.

You will get the best price for it selling it online. How easy it is to sell it depends on the car (is it a niche type vehicle like a Toyota FJ or PT Cruiser) and how many people are around where you live.

To sell it, first clean it out completely. Get it as absolutely clean as you can. If you're unable to do this, get it detailed. Get all the records you can for maintenance. I'd also get a Carfax report that you can give to people. Then you'll be ready to sell it.

Use KBB.com as people have said to estimate the value and be honest. Post it on Craigslist or one of the paid online sites. Be sure to give a good description of the car and put on some good pictures of the car. Be nice and meet with people when you can and be honest about the car, what it is and why you have priced it that way. It shouldn't take too long unless you live in a very rural place.

You can sell it to a used car dealer. Just use the KBB.com to see how much you'll be losing. Generally, you're paying them a couple of grand to deal with it. If this is what you want to do, then go for it.
