Second, be prepared when potential buyers show up to look at your car. Have comparison documents and the Kelley Blue Book price ready. This will help validate your selling price to the buyer.

Third, sell your car with a realistic budget in mind. There are lots of free site available to post your automobile. You might also want to try to the local papers. Give yourself at least two or three weeks of exposure.

Fifth, for heaven sake, make sure your car is clean, neat and presentable when a buyer has made an appointment to see your automobile. Remember first impressions are important.
