Riding in Style

Selling your truck or car privately is going to get you a lot more money than if you were to trade it in at a dealership. Depending on the area that you live in, there may be a lot of competition, though, of other people selling trucks that are similar to yours. If you want to sell your car quickly for the most money, there are a few things you should do. 

Have It Detailed

Before you go to take pictures of your truck, take it into a truck detailing company. These auto detailers will clean every part of both the inside and the outside of your truck to make it look like you just brought it home from the dealership. Not only will they shine up your trucks rims but they will also clean your center console to get rid of any dirt, food, and gunk that is trapped on top of it. By using specialty cleaners and vacuums, your truck detailing company will be able to get your truck a lot cleaner and more polished than you could on your own. Then, once it is detailed, you can take pictures of it that will look professional and when people come to test drive it, it will be super clean. 

 Take High-Quality Pictures

When people go online to look at truck listings, if they see a truck with poor quality photos, they may skip over it and look at the next listing. Take pride in your listing and take really good photos. Whether you use the camera on your phone or a professional quality camera, make sure that the lens is clean, that your truck is freshly detailed, and that you take both close-ups of the truck and detailed pictures of it as well.

Look At Comparable Prices

Once your car is sparkling clean and you have professional pictures taken, it's time to look at the pricing of other trucks. You want to make sure that your truck is selling for a comparable price so that you can beat the competition. If your truck has lower mileage and is in better condition than some of the other trucks that are for sale by owner then you can list yours for a little bit more. 

Having a freshly detailed truck is a great way for you to sell it quickly. When you show that you care enough about your truck to have it detailed, you are showing potential buyers that you have taken good care of it.
