How to sell your car privately in Connecticut

1. Get Your Car Ready to be Sold

Before you can list your car, it's imperative that it's in good condition. Clean the car interior and exterior, and if you can, make any minor repairs that can increase the car's value. Make sure you take lots of good photos of your vehicle from all different angles that showcase your car in the best way possible.

2. Get the Required Documents

Before you list your car for sale in Connecticut, you'll need to gather the following documents:

• Certificate of Title: The title establishes you as the owner of the vehicle. Make sure any and all liens have been cleared.
• Bill of Sale: A document that states the terms of the sale, including the sale price, date, etc.
• Odometer Disclosure Statement: Required if the vehicle is less than ten years old.
• Vehicle History Report (optional but a good idea): A report gives the buyer confidence in the deal they are making, as it provides documentation of the history of the vehicle.
