Tomorrow I need to sell my car to my mechanic. I can't afford the repairs and could use a chunk of change for fastlane projects.
Does anyone have any experience selling cars? In particular selling them to junk yard type places? What major benefits could I emphasize on?
My mechanic owns a shop right next to a plot of land that he uses for storing junk cars and uses the parts in them for his shop when doing repairs. I know I can leverage this in my debacle just not sure how to go about it.
What can I expect as a reasonable deal? I'm guessing somewhere around the $2k mark. But I don't know shit about cars. I just know blue book is around $3500.
Car: 2003 bmw 325i, 156k miles. Broken ac, electrical work on the dashboard needs to be done, couple dents not dramatic ones but noticeable, interior roof lining starting to fall.
I suck at selling, period. I'm going to use this experience to help get me over the fear of selling. Plus this will be a confidence booster I could use if I get a good deal. If not, I still got the experience which is what I'm after.
Thanks everyone. I've been getting a lot of feedback lately and love this community we got going on here. Hope to return the favor in the near future.
