Selling your car through a car club

There are some times when selling your car through your collectors car club can be a great idea. But there are also times when it is not such a good idea. Determining if it is the best situation for your particular circumstances often varies depending upon how much you need for the vehicle. For example, those who are looking for an incredible deal of a great car tend to look at car clubs. But at the same time, they are also looking for a cheap deal. If you are looking to get top dollar from your car you may want to sell your car outside of the club to increase your profit.

Most clubs offer a website to members, and often these websites offer either an area for members to make announcements about things car related that they are selling, or a forum which would allow you to make an announcement. Typically, it is free to advertise your car through the car club, which can be a huge savings over advertising the vehicle in your local newspaper.

However, it is also important to realize that unless you are a member of a very large club, you are limiting yourself in terms of potential customers by only advertising to club members. Yet this can often be a great way to get a fast sell for your car, which can be a very important deciding factor when you are trying to determine the best option for selling your car.

Those who are members of your car club may have already seen your vehicle before. Additionally, you may have had a few people approach you in the past asking if you would be interested in selling. Generally, if you have had someone approach you in the past it is always a wise idea to ensure that they know you are selling if any way possible. This will allow them the opportunity to buy your vehicle if you are interested and can really speed up the sale process a lot of times.

If you car is in exceptional shape it is a very wise decision to always ensure that the car looks its best when you are driving it around. In addition, taking the car with you to club meetings with a For Sale sign in one of the windows can be another way of letting members know that you are selling. This is especially important if the vehicle is a specialty car that is not something that the general population would be interested in. You must be very careful how you choose to market though, even inside of your car club. If you seem desperate for any reason, people are going to try to get you to cut your price.

Make sure you avoid this impression by picking a price and try to avoid haggling over price as much as possible. Just be aware that if you do sell it to someone in your car club you have the benefit of probably being able to see it again. This can be an important consideration if you have come to think of the car as a family member, rather than just as a car. While the car may not still belong to you, it is usually possible to still see it and have a form of visitation per say rather than never seeing it again. Regardless of whether you choose to sell through your club or not, it can make a great place to start the advertising process since you are surrounded by others who are also interested in cars as well.
