Find a realistic market value
Compare vehicles with a similar age, mileage, engine, equipment and condition. Asking prices do not necessarily reflect final selling prices.

Set the asking price
A moderate negotiating margin, such as five to ten percent, may help as long as your price remains competitive. Include advertising costs in your calculations.
Practical tip: Always compare the total asking price with similar vehicles.

05 / 07Take better photosFirst impressions matter.Read details ↗
Take better photos
Photograph a clean vehicle in daylight: front, rear, both sides, interior, wheels and key features. Show visible wear and tear as well.
Practical tip: AI can improve lighting and cropping, but should never hide scratches, dents or defects.

Reach more buyers
Buyers browse different marketplaces. Listing on multiple platforms can increase visibility but does not guarantee a sale.
Practical tip: Auto Moto Sales lists cars on five platforms and motorcycles on four.

Sell safely
Check insurance arrangements before test drives. Put the price, condition, known faults and handover in writing. Confirm cleared payment before releasing the vehicle.
Practical tip: Use a written contract and record the handover of keys and documents.
Back to card ↶More exposure. More opportunities.
As with a lottery, multiple different entries may improve the odds without guaranteeing a win. For vehicle sales, multiple marketplaces may reach different buyers. Audiences can overlap; neither a sale nor a higher price is guaranteed.
Plan for your advertising costs
You may include some advertising costs in your asking price if it stays realistic. How much you recover depends on the final agreed sale price.
