Cars for sale

This subject is something I know about inside and out. When I see cars for sale I see dollar signs. Anyone can make money selling a car. The trick is to make the maximum amount per deal.
This of course starts with the most basic sale principal of all time. Buy low and sell high. Yes this is easier said then done. I know people that have turned this into an art form. I have learned from their mistakes and also their success. I am writing a book on cars for sale and buying low.
This book will take some time but I wanted to share some basic tips with you now. How I started buying low was the mass low-ball offer on private cars for sale. A car buying trick I learned from a late night infomercial real-estate guru. Interesting sidebar: Many rich and famous people built their success on the back of buying and selling cars.

Best time to buy a used car

You know from your own experience, when you have cars for sale, you always want to get rid of that old car fast.People want to move on and that old car sitting around stops this from happening. You can use this to your advantage by being patient and realizing the seller needs you. However, to maximize this advantage you will need cash in hand. The power of a cash now offer can make sellers jump at the stack of bills and forget the original asking price.

The mass low-ball offer helps you find the most motivated of these automobile sellers. It works like this; you go through the local car classifieds and look at model verses price. You then pick out the most popular models loaded with options (selling features) at the lowest prices.
Circle all the good ads and build up a big list. If you need help on determining what a good price for a specific model car. After you have your purified list you make the calls and go and see the vehicles. You want to make sure the vehicle has eye. If you are going to make money selling a car then it must have extreme curb appeal.

Luxury and sporty automobiles even with high miles sell much easier. Then you go and make your low ball offers. Thousands below the asking price. You must be firm and direct. Most people will say no way. Leave them your name and number and tell them to call you if they get stuck and need the money.
You will be surprised at how many calls you will get. Just do this over and over until you find the ultimate deal. Don't hesitate on walking away from a deal or making a counter offer even lower to cover any auto repair costs. Before the money changes hands check the vehicle out thoroughly.
