How to sell a car

Whether you're upgrading to a new vehicle or simply looking to cash in on a seldom-used ride, selling your car can seem like a daunting task. From determining the right price to navigating a range of selling options, the process can easily become overwhelming.

To help with what can be a difficult decision, we’ve created a short video outlining the most common options and the pros and cons of each. Discover if AutoFlip is the right car selling solution for you.

Different ways to sell your car

Trade-in to a dealer

If you’re planning on buying a new car from a dealer, it can be convenient to trade in your existing car at the same time. After a thorough car inspection, the dealer will offer you a price for your vehicle. However, the price may be lower than what you would receive through other methods.

Sell to a private buyer

Selling privately means you have more control over the selling process and can result in a higher selling price. However, selling privately can be time consuming and requires effort as you take on the full responsibility for selling your car. You’ll need to advertise on multiple channels, communicate directly with potential buyers, organise test drives and negotiate the price. This exposes you to time wasters, strangers visiting your home and potentially scammers too. You'll also need to arrange a roadworthy certificate if selling privately which may involve costly repairs.
