How to sell a car profitably and not fall for the "hook" of experienced buyers who reduce the price

Usually, a car changes several owners in its lifetime, so the used car market is a lively place, and you can meet all kinds of people there. For example, experienced buyers who have learned how to bravely drive down the price, depriving the seller of profit. So the question of how to avoid falling for these people's tricks when selling a car is always relevant.

Top Fat has collected some basic secrets. When selling your car, pay attention to whether someone will try to do the same to you.

Respond quickly to the ad

If you receive a call from a potential buyer as soon as you place an ad, this is a reason to be wary. "Professional" buyers monitor relevant sites constantly and try to get ahead of other applicants, especially if a really good car is for sale. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't answer such a call, just pay extra attention to such an applicant.

Convince them that you have overpriced the car

This is a psychological trick that appeals to your sense of guilt. A cunning buyer may try to convince you that you have set the price too high and that no one will buy your car for that kind of money. As with any other provocation, it's important not to get emotional. Wait, and you will see that there are takers, and there is no need to bring down the price.

Bring an entire expert committee with you

While it's easy enough to resist psychological pressure from one person, when you have a whole company of such people, the task becomes much more difficult. Therefore, "professional" buyers can bring a whole crowd of supposed experts who will look for flaws in your car and demand a discount for them.

Offer an inspection at a familiar car service center

This is another similar manipulation when the buyer offers to inspect the car in the service of a mechanic he knows. It is very difficult to resist the authority of a person in overalls. Even if you know for sure that this person is thickening the paint and inventing non-existent flaws.

What can you do to avoid these tricks?

First of all, keep track of whether the buyer is putting pressure on your feelings as if they were guilty. Also, don't fall for imaginary authorities. Carefully and thoroughly study all the necessary information, consult with friends who have relevant experience, and turn to specialists whom you trust.
