How Do I Sell My Car on the Internet?

In much the same way that the Internet has made sourcing and purchasing a car much easier, so too has it made selling a vehicle so much simpler. Fifteen years ago no-one had even thought of selling a car on the Internet – but in those days the majority of the world’s population had not even heard of the Internet. It really only started taking off in a big way in the mid 1990’s, along with an avalanche of Information Technology jobs.

There were several ways to sell my car then. I could place an advert in the local press, usually at considerable expense, or I could opt for one of those specialist magazines at even greater expense. The only other way to sell my car was to sell it to a used car dealer, who would invariable give me far less than the car was actually worth before selling it himself with a heavy markup.

The great thing is, when I sell my car today through a site such as Surf4cars, it doesn’t cost me a thing to advertise it. So how do you go about it? Just click on the “sell” tab on the Surf4cars website and fill in your details and the details about the car you have for sale in the form that you’ll find there. Submit the form and your vehicle will be listed in our database for a period of 30 days.

You can even upload a good photograph of the car so that prospective buyers get an idea of what they are purchasing. What could be easier? Before you know it you could be getting all sorts of enquiries about your vehicle. There’s no doubt about it. It is much easier to sell a vehicle on the Internet today than all of those different options that were available 15 years ago – what’s more, it’s cheaper too.
