The Easy Way to Sell Your Car Privately

If you're ready to sell your car privately in Lubbock, KarKiosk is ready and willing to help. Use this framework to help you find the right buyers and have a successful sale.

Prepare Your Car

Before you list your car, you should prepare it so it is in the best possible shape to capture the interest of potential buyers. An obvious point is that you should sell the car clean and you want the car clean and well-maintained to help sell it. Car buyers are not going to buy a dirty and poorly maintained vehicle. Make sure that you wash the car and clean the inside and outside. Additionally, before listing the vehicle, you may wish to detail the car to give it a polished look.

Take Fantastic Pictures

You will want to use the best quality photos that you can afford for selling your vehicle. High-quality professional pictures make a huge difference in selling your car. Pictures are typically the first thing a potential buyer sees, and you should spend a good amount of time making sure you get some great-looking images, with several angles and good lighting. KarKiosk can give you tips on how to get the photography right for your listing.

Prepare a Good Description

A good description of your vehicle adds credibility to your listing. Write and include important specifications like make, model, year, mileage, etc. Be sure to include any desirable options (ex. sunroof, leather seats, new engine, etc.). Be honest and provide the potential buyer with as much detail as possible to develop trust.

Include a Vehicle History Report

A vehicle history report will provide potential buyers important characteristics about your vehicle's past, such as previous owners, accidents, and repairs. Adding this level of transparency increases trust and improves the likelihood of completing a sale.

Add a Condition Report

A condition report is a good way for buyers to understand the current condition of your car. This report should include the conditions of tires, brakes, engine, and interior. Buyers appreciate this level of detail and they will appreciate understanding what to expect, so they are more likely to submit you an offer!

Use KarKiosk to List

Paperwork for Selling a Vehicle Privately in Lubbock, TX

Paperwork is an important part of any private vehicle sale in Lubbock, Texas. Before you change ownership, make sure you have the following information prepared as required by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV):

  • Vehicle title: Sign the title over to the new owner, and fill in all sections correctly.
  • Bill of Sale: Include the buyer and seller information, details about the vehicle, and the sale price that you agreed upon for the vehicle.
  • Release of Liability (TxDMV Form VTR-346): This is a document that you will want to file with the TxDMV that confirms you have turned over ownership, so that you are no longer liable for the vehicle.
  • Odometer Disclosure (if applicable): If your vehicle is less than 10 years old, you need to give your buyer an odometer disclosure document that tells them how many miles the vehicle had at the time of sale.

For more specific requirements in Lubbock County, or to file your forms online, you will want to visit the TxDMV website.

Benefits of a Private Sale Compared to a Trade-In

  • Flexibility: You have control over how much you want to sell the vehicle for and also the flexibility to negotiate with interested buyers.
  • Directly Interact with Potential Buyer: Private vehicle sales allow for direct involvement with buyers, where you can speak to potential buyers so you can explain the value of your vehicle.
