Thoroughly clean the inside, wash and detail the outside, tires, and rims. The auto parts stores sell an engine wash that can be sprayed on (cool engine of course) and washed off to de-oxidize the metals. It’s not worth putting too much time and money into a car that won’t bring top dollar anyway. Focus on the performance aspect when selling it. If everything is in good working order and it will easily pass inspection , you will get as much as is possible out of it. Mileage has a big impact on what others are willing to pay. Good records of periodic maintenance also help. Good Luck!
someone came in wanting the very car on the showroom floor. they are wearing dirty old torn jeans greasey shirt scruffy face ball cap. would you sell them the car knowing your commission comes from them being able to pay for the thing. or a few days later someone else is looking at the very same car wearing suit and tie pulled up in a limo ready to pay for the car in full. then the person says i was in the otherday and wanted the same car.
how would you handle the whole situation.
For one thing I wouldn’t asume nothing about the guy that came in looking greasy and scruffy! I would sale him the car. See the way that I look at it machanics get paid good.and more than likely can afford it.
Now if the man in the Limo wouldn’t even of showed up because he would already have the car!….I told you them dang guys make good money off of us!……But would you listen????……NO!
At my dealership group, our fleet manager has the capablity to sell used vehicles. In fact if the company is looking for something in particular and willing to be patient, he will send our buyers to the auction to try to find the particular vehicle that the fleet customer is requesting. I hope this information helps.
I am new to selling cars and the salesmen at my dealership will not help explain anything about the new car sales process. I take great pride in my work and love sales but with out understanding the process tricks and details I just have hit a wall. Please help Thank you
Don’t worry. It will come with experience. Too many car salesman are worthless slimeballs…please don’t become one of them. Treat the customer honestly and fairly and you will do well.
You can always tell a new car. Yet once it’s been used for a while
it loses that new car luster despite the owner’s best intentions.
Is there a secret to keeping a new car looking NEW?
I have tried urine, it doesn’t work well.
Yes, wax it once a month and wash it weekly.
Typically when searching cars you must provide your zipcode. I want to simply know what dealer is selling a specific car for the cheapest price regardless of where they are located in the U.S.
Go to autotrader.com and choose a no mile radius.
This probably sounds like a dumb question but why do new cars feel so "light" when you drive the as opposed to an older car that feels "heavy" and sluggish? Is it the shocks? or Engine build up? Can you restore an old car to feel light like a new one? Thanks!
Its all becoz of the Brand new engine and free spinning tyres without any jams.
My wife and I have lived in New York few months and we are thinking about buying a new car. We wanna know if we buy a small car like Hyundai Accent, what we have to know about owning?Which kind of tax we have to pay on the car? How much is the tax for the car we have to pay each year? We just know about the price of the car, but we have no idea about other expense for owning the car!
An easy place to start will be the local dealership, since most if not all of them also process the paperwork (title, plates, registration, inspection, etc) at the same time. You also should get a few quotes from insurance companies, depending on where you live (NYC versus somewhere upstate), as well as any extras, like parking garages, etc.
My dad and I are looking at used cars, I was just wondering. Are used car prices usually set, or can you haggle them like you do with a new car’s sticker price?
You can haggle pricing on any car….used cars are generally easier than new cars,if you buy from a new car dealer, because the dealer gets them almost for free if it’s a trade-in…..
