For whatever reason you want to let your old car go, there two keys questions that people worry about:
- How long is it going to take to sell?
- How much is it going to cost to sell?
When you want to sell your car, you generally want it gone quickly. Otherwise, it’s just sitting there potentially doing nothing and you’re still having to tax and insure it (you could always SORN it).
Then there’s the factor of money. The longer you have the car, the less time you’ll have with the money for it in your pocket.
Plus, when it comes to selling a car, you’re going to need to advertise it which also costs money. The longer you advertise the car, the more money you’ll have to pay out for adverts, leaving you down on cash until it goes.
On the bright side, what if there was a way to sell your car for free?
Well, there is!
