Selling your car
There are two traditional ways to sell your car when you’ve decided it’s time to part company; one is more straightforward and the other should make you more money. Here’s our guide to selling your car.

• Trade-in/dealer This is the quickest and simplest way to get rid of your car. If a dealer is keen to sell you another car he may offer a good price for your old one. But, as a rule, you will get more by selling the car privately.

• Private sale You will get the best price for your car if you sell it privately, but the process can be time-consuming. Don’t forget you have to be around to take phone calls and meet buyers for inspections and test-drives. Also, advertising can be costly, particularly if your car takes a long time to sell.
