Benefits of Private Sales vs Dealerships

There are several benefits of selling your car privately instead of doing a trade-in at a dealership:

  • More Money: A private sale often gets you a better return on investment compared to trade-in offers from dealerships.
  • Negotiate With Authority: You fully control the negotiations, and can ultimately make the final decision on the sale.
  • More Buyers: You have better access to buyers and are more likely to sell your vehicle quickly.

How To Complete A Private Sale With KarKiosk

Get the Vehicle Ready For Sale

When selling your car, first impressions are everything. Consider the following items to make sure you get the car ready:

  • Clean The Vehicle: Wash the car and vacuum the interior to make it presentable.
  • Make Small Repairs: Consider fixing small or mildly damaged items, such as scratches or fixing a light, to get more value.
  • Collect the Paperwork: You should gather all important documents such as the title of the vehicle, and vehicle history report. If you need help, you can download Utah's Form TC-843 Bill of Sale.

Write An Interesting Listing

One of the best ways to get interest in your vehicle is to create a great listing with depth and honesty.

  • Take Good Photos: Try to take high-quality photos in good light, and from multiple angles.
  • Write a Detailed Listing: Write a detailed vehicle description including miles driven, the condition of the vehicle, and any modifications or upgrades. Transparency will help give serious buyers confidence in making an offer.
  • Add a Vehicle History Report: Including a report provides confidence to buyers regarding the vehicle's history and streamlines their decision.

Set a Competitive Price

Pricing your vehicle correctly is very important. Use online pricing tools or check local listings for similar cars to determine what the going market price is for them. Reasonably priced and competitively priced vehicles are more likely to receive interest.

Communicate Fast and Professionally

Once inquiries begin to come in, it is extremely important to respond in a clear and timely manner. Answer buyer questions honestly and provide any additional information buyers request from you. Consistent communication will also reinforce your credibility.

Arrange Safe Test Drives

Meet with prospective buyers in a public space for the test drive. Bring any main documentation needed—car's registration, and be prepared to answer questions about the car's mechanical performance or service history.

Finalize the Sale

Now that you have a buyer, you will need to complete the mandatory legal requirements:

  • Bill of Sale: Both parties should sign a bill of sale. If you don't have one, you can use Utah's official Bill of Sale form (TC-843).
  • Transfer the Title:Make sure the title is signed and transferred correctly. If title was lost, you can fill out Form TC-123 to get a duplicate title.
  • Remove License Plates: You also want to remember to take your plates off—this is to protect yourself from liability down the road.
  • Report the Sale: You are required to report the sale to the Utah DMV, either through their online Motor Vehicle Portal (MVP), or you can submit the report using the mail or fax option.

Buying a Used Car on KarKiosk

Define What You Need

Before you start looking through listings, know what type of car you need, and what your budget is going to be. Think about what your fuel economy is going to be, cost of repairs, and your insurance.

Search KarKiosk

Let KarKiosk help you search for the cars you want by using search filters. You will appreciate the pre-filtered selection of vehicles. If you like, you can sort your refined results by price, mileage, make, and model for an efficient search experience.

Research Listings and Sellers

Once you have refined your search results, consider the detailed listings. You should read the description thoroughly, look at all the photos, and check the car history. Go ahead and use the seller’s contact form and ask questions about the maintenance and condition of the car.

Meet, Inspect, and Drive the Car

Call the seller and arrange to meet so you can inspect the car. This is the time you want to be able to ask questions and have that open dialogue, and you should take the opportunity to test drive the vehicle.

Complete the Sale

Once you are satisfied with the vehicle, agree on a price and complete the sale. Be sure to obtain the signed title, bill of sale, and retain copies of any documents needed for the sale such as a Form TC-891 Odometer Disclosure, if required.
