Need advice on selling my car

[ravelcop]

Hi fellow Tsikoteers,

Patulong lang ako on how to sell my car. Its still in great shape at super kinis pa ang paint. Although it needs some minor retouches pero I'm sure it's a good buy.

Im interested sana on consignment, yung mga merong display centers? But I don't know how it works. And I'm afraid na baka tagain nila ko pag nalaman nilang newbie ako sa ganyan.

I need your advice guys on how this consignment thingie works and if there are tips you could share to me so I wont end up a loser. Thanks in advance

just post it in under classifieds here in tsikot... you don't need to put it on display sa mga buy and sell.

thanks baiskee,

that's an option too. pero i heard kase that those buy & sell centers will do all the retouches on your car so it would look better. i hope theres someone who could also tell me the pros and cons of consignment basis

[baiskee]

pa detail mo na lang siguro kung minor retouches lang...

personally, i would buy second hand units from the owner mismo...kasi mas alam ng owner compare sa mga buy and sell agents yung oto. yung ibang agents kasi puro pambobola na ginagawa maibenta lang nila yung unit.

my 2 cents. ;)

If you go via a buy and sell place, they'll often buy it off you at below market price, but will pay in cash. It's an option if you're in a hurry, but you can get a much better price through a direct sale.

Actually, that's true, they usually clean the car to make it more presentable to the customers... at a price (which they already included when they haggle it with you.)

Honestly, try selling the car yourself muna. You'd be surprised with how easy it is to get responses as long as your ad is clear and the price is fair.

Yung mga display centers po ba is binibili muna nila ang kotse bago binibenta? I thought kase, meron lang silang agreement with the owner that his/her car may be displayed in their garage for a period of time at kung may bumili, hati na sila sa kita? I really wanna know how this consignment works.

Thank you po sa mga nag-reply!

I'm not sure how consignment works, but outright sale is one option.

But like I said, kawawa ka talaga sa price if they buy it straight from you. It's a last resort if you want quick money.

Some display centers allow you to consign your cars there for a minimal fee... parang P5,000 for a certain number of days.

hintay ka na lang ibang members na may experience sa consignment thing, yong di bibilhin ng buy n sell shops yong kotse mo pero may bayad ka sa pwesto. pero malamang may porsyento rin sila sa proceeds ng benta. o kaya pwede ka pumunta at magtanong-tanong muna..

pero suggestion ko rin, try selling it muna directly. post it in all of the car forums here na available(see kotse.com for links ng car clubs), lalo na sa classifieds ng Tsikot. if you're worried sa minor scratches, pa-detail mo na lang muna kina big bert's as suggested. o kaya kung minor lang naman talaga, ok lang yon basta maayos makina at overall body, lalo na kug may casa maintenance records. bihira naman 2nd hand na kotse na walang minor scratches. as a buyer, mas kakabahan pa ko kung wala man lang akong makitang scratch sa kotseng bibilhin ko..baka puro touch up at masilya na yon..hehe.

btw... ano ba yong kotse mo? bka bmw 316i e36..hirap benta yan

goodluck!

bakit hirap benta bmw e36? tipid naman sa gas ah, ganda pa. syempre bias ako =)

You should get an engine wash. That will even up the selling price of your vehicle.

[ravelcop]

it's just a '95 nissan vanette
meron ba kayong idea magkano nalang to ngayon? nasa cebu po ako

yeah, balak ko nga din magpa engine wash, ganda tingnan pag malinis ang engine bay, plus pogi points sa kotse

thank you po sa mga nagreply
