Private Sale:
Choosing to sell your car privately can seem like the most appealing option at first as it is likely you will get the most for your car this way (roughly 10%-15% more than alternative options). However, attempting to sell your car privately can be a daunting process and for many reasons. First of all, not all cars are equally desirable in the pre-owned market so this can cause some serious delays in how quickly your car gets snapped up.
Secondly, it is important to be extremely cautious. Opportunistic criminals may try to separate you from your car and your money. So it is important that you take precautions such as arranging to meet in a public place, never at your home address or their home address. You probably shouldn’t go alone and never release the car until you have the cash in your hand or bank account.
