- Take High-Quality Photos: Capture clear, well-lit images from multiple angles.
- Write a Detailed Description: Include key details like mileage, condition, and any upgrades. Transparency builds trust and attracts serious buyers.
- Add a Vehicle History Report: Including a report reassures buyers about the car’s history and speeds up the decision-making process.
- Set a Competitive Price
Pricing your car right is critical. Use online pricing tools or check local listings to research what similar vehicles are selling for. Setting a realistic, competitive price will make buyers more likely to reach out.
- Communicate Quickly and Professionally
Once inquiries start coming in, be prompt and clear in your responses. Answer buyer questions honestly and provide any additional information they request. Good communication reinforces your credibility.
- Arrange Safe Test Drives
Meet potential buyers at a public location for the test drive. Bring required documentation, like the car’s registration, and be ready to answer questions about the vehicle’s performance or service history.
- Finalize the Sale
After finding a buyer, complete the necessary legal steps:
- Bill of Sale: Both parties should sign a bill of sale. If you don’t have one, use Utah’s official [Bill of Sale form (TC-843)](https://dmv.utah.gov/resources/forms).
- Transfer the Title: Ensure the title is signed and transferred correctly. If the title is lost, you can fill out Form TC-123 to request a duplicate.
- Remove License Plates: Don’t forget to remove your plates—this protects you from future liability.
