Best Time to Sell Your Car

You may ask yourself when is the best time to sell your car. A key factor to consider when selling your car is the season, especially if you're trying to sell it quickly. DMV.org reports that trucks and 4x4s are most popular during the fall and winter months. Spring and summer are prime selling seasons for convertibles and sports cars, while summer and winter are prime selling seasons for commuter vehicles. If you sell your car during these periods, you'll often sell it more quickly and for more money.



During holidays and special occasions


Aside from the time of year, you should also consider holidays and special events, because certain times of the year are ideal for selling your car, such as tax season, hunting season, Christmas and Independence Day, as well as graduations from high school and college. The hunting season can increase the demand for trucks and 4x4s in certain parts of the country. Listed at the beginning of the season might be a good time to sell one of these junk cars.


High school or college graduates and their parents are often looking for cars at the end of spring, so consider listing your car online then or in the fall when students are returning to school. It is common for newer cars to be priced lower during Christmas and Independence Day. In order to attract a buyer searching for the best deal, you might want to consider listing your brand-new car during these holidays.


Indicators of the economy

Another factor to consider when selling your car is the economy. A strong economy will often lead to a high demand for luxury cars and SUVs, whereas a weak economy will often result in a high demand for fuel-efficient or hybrid cars. In a weak economy, used cars may also be easier to sell since getting a loan is tougher, and interest rates rise. Lastly, the economy can affect public transportation costs. Used cars are in high demand when these costs rise.


Wear and tear based on mileage

Additionally, you must keep an eye on the mileage of your car and its wear and tear. You should always monitor these maintenance factors, but they become even more crucial when you want to sell your car for cash. The sooner you sell your car, the better, since older, higher-mileage cars are often perceived as higher-maintenance risks. It may be harder for you to sell an old vehicle at a price you want if it has a lot of mileage. Whenever possible, sell your vehicle while it still has much life left in its engine.

You can start by considering these four factors when determining the best time to sell your car.
