In real estate, an “arm’s length” transaction is defined as one in which “the seller is under no undue pressure to sell, and the buyer is under no undue pressure to buy.” In the free market, this is how “fair” prices are arranged. Imagine if you found out at 8 pm today that you absolutely have come up with $8000 by tomorrow morning at 10 am, and selling your car is the only way you can do it. Talk about pressure! Do you think you will get a fair price?

Many people put themselves in a very similar situation when they decide to buy a new car. They swing by a dealership on impulse, fall in love with the little red convertible and make an offer on it two hours later. And in the process they become a seller under undue pressure… avoidable pressure that they put on themselves. This, my friend, is a crying shame.

The only way to get the most you can, when you sell your car, is to give yourself TIME, and a lot of it. As a former salesman, I have seen first hand, over and over, that impulse buying is a KILLER! The salesman knows you have no time to gather facts and find out what your car is really worth. He also knows that he has little to no incentive to give you a good deal on your new little toy. Double Whammy!

I do understand that we all get caught up in the moment at times, but please, before you sign anything, step back and evaluate the situation. Ask yourself, am I under pressure? If you are, go home and sleep on it. In my mind, if the salesman won’t respect that, he doesn’t deserve your business.

In almost every case, the dealer will be happy to take a deposit and hold the vehicle for you (Never give them cash for a deposit and be sure it’s refundable!) for up to a week, sometimes longer. Time enough to be sure you really love that car you’re looking at, and time enough to sell your car yourself for plenty more than what the dealer will give you.

Yes, they can say no and you want to sell the car as soon as you walk out, but it’s worth an average $ 2,500 more it will cost you? Go ahead and buy it immediately, if you think it is OK.

Yes, you can sell your own car, and reap the financial benefits, and it’s not nearly as hard as some folks think. This is a job that once you get your base established, like the research, you will have to only spend a handful of hours a week working on selling used cars for profit, and obviously if you want to spend more you can.

A car accessory is something you add to your car to make it look better and to add some style. Many people want a cool car accessory to accent their car. A car accessory can make your car look great.

Now we will move on to the more expensive kind of car accessory. This type of car accessory is often electronic in nature. An electronic car accessory can be a blacklight, neon headlights, CD player, or even a DVD player to keep the kids quiet while you are trying top drive. A similar car accessory would be to add a playstation or an Xbox to your car with a television unit to play on. This car accessory is not recommended because it can be ever so distracting to the driver.

Another expensive, yet sometimes necessary car accessory is an in dash GPS (global positioning system). A GPS helps many drivers get to and from various locations. It is kind of like an onboard automated map. Another example of an expensive car accessory is a radar detector. This helps drivers know when a police officer may be nearby looking for speeding cars. A radar detector alerts you so you can slow down and avoid a speeding ticket. A radar detector is not really needed unless you are the type of person who likes to speed.
