In this article we will have a look at Getting The Best Deal For A Vintage Car.
Whether you’re looking to trade in and save a little money when buying your next car, or you’re sitting on an asset that might be worth a little money and you don’t want to lose it through neglect, selling a vintage car can net you a pretty penny. However, as they’re not standard vehicles, they shouldn’t always be sold in a standard way, either. Here, we’re going to look at some steps you can take to get the kind of deal you deserve.
Give It The Specialist Care That It Needs
First of all, you want to make sure that your car is in the best condition it can be, as with any sale. However, for vintage cars, that means taking a closer look at the specific details that give it a unique character. For instance, you should make sure that its distinctive paint and bodywork are well protected with a good wax finish. Take the time to go over the interior materials with the gentle washes and material-specific cleaners it needs, such as leather conditioner for the seats. You might need to invest in a few exterior touch-ups, such as buffing or minor dent repairs, to avoid being haggled down the price of a more complete restoration, too.
Find Your Specialist Dealers
If you want to make sure that your sale is a sure thing, or you don’t have a lot of time to wait for a buyer to reach out, then you should look at those who specialize in dealing with vintage autos. Often, these dealers will have particular vehicles that they’re most interested in. For instance, you should focus on a Porsche specialist for a Porsche 911 valuation. These specialists are a lot more likely to have a good idea of what they’re looking at, and some of them are willing to pay a reasonable price even if your car hasn’t been restored to its best condition, as they might be willing to take care of the restoration themselves to sell them for a profit.
Highlight Its Rarity And Selling Points
If you plan on selling your vintage car on the open market, sometimes you can get someone willing to pay top dollar, but often you have to spend a long time waiting for the right buyer to come along, too. You can help reduce that wait by making sure that your car is advertised in all the right spaces, but the details you include with your ads are important, as well. Aside from photos, be sure to highlight what stands out about your vehicle, whether it’s a rare trim, some specific features distinct to that model, or any restoration work you’ve put in to maintain its materials already. Vintage car buyers are out there. They just tend to be picky.
A good vintage car can often surprise you with how much it can go for. However, you have to make sure that you’re able and willing ot sell it the right way, which can mean finding the right dealers or being willing to wait.
