How to Sell Audi and Buy Your Next Car with Confidence

September 27th, 2010

If you’re looking to sell Audi. quickly and for the best cash offer, then you’re going to need to think seriously about how you are going to market your Audi to put it in the best possible light.

With my traders insider tips and tricks that I will show you in this article you will be able to easily increase the value when it comes to selling your Audi and get the best deal when it comes to buying your next car.

Get Your Sell Audi Ad Perfect

The first thing to consider when marketing your Audi for sale, is the ad itself, think carefully about what makes your Audi better than any other comparable Audi for sale and why any-one should not only buy your Audi, but at a higher price. Do you have any unique or limited edition features or extra’s, is your car a special or favoured colour?

You also need to list the mileage, number of previous owners, how much MOT and tax is remaining and the service history. This is also an opportunity to stand out from the crowd, especially if your service history is complete and has been done at the Audi main dealer.

Other selling points can include alloys, in car entertainment, type of interior finish and the condition of the bodywork.

More than One Way to Sell Audi

Okay, so you’ve done your ad and it’s pretty brilliant, but don’t stop now, putting an ad in the paper or other specialist magazine is pretty reactive, try and be a bit more proactive in your approach and consider adding other methods.

For example use word of mouth to get the word out, tell friends, colleagues and relatives that you are selling your Audi and ask them to pass the message on, it’s very possible that in this way your message could reach hundreds of people within your immediate and extended circle.

Sell Audi at the Best Possible Price

To make the selling and buying process as smooth as possible, you will want to make sure that you’re asking price is as realistic and as competitive as possible. To do this simply look at other like for like cars for sale ie other Audi’s of the same make, model and age with like for like mileage, service history, MOT, tax and condition.

This will help the buyer feel confident that they are getting the best deal and value and will help you sell your Audi quickly.

Buy Your Car with Confidence

Okay so you’ve sold your car, you’ve got cold hard cash in your hands and you want to buy your next dream car. To get the best deal and to avoid buying a lemon, you will need to do some research. If you know what make and model you want you can go online and find tons of information for free. For example autotrader or Parkers used guides will tell you about all the common and known faults of your chosen car, the true cost of ownership and cost for common parts so that you know exactly what to expect.

When it comes to the actual inspection and test drive, you may want to consider taking a mechanic or a knowledgeable individual with you, especially if you are not good with Cars and looking around the engine.

You should also seriously consider paying for an AA, Rac or similar full car inspection, it will cost you round about £100-£150 but it could save you thousands in the long run, the AA and Rac guys are particularly knowledgeable and really do a thorough and comprehensive inspection.

You should additionally carry out a background check on the car you wish to purchase before you commit to buy, this will help you identify if the car has previously been in an accident and repaired or worse if it is actually declared as a write off, in which case you should NOT buy the car at all and just walk away as the car will be pretty worthless in resale value. If the car is particularly expensive, you should also carry out a HPI check to make sure there is no outstanding finance on the car, if there is, then the car technically belongs to the finance company and can be claimed by them if the owner does not clear the outstanding finance.

Remember to note down the VIN number as you will need this when carrying out your checks, I would also recommend you take somebody of some expertise with you when checking the VIN on the car as fraudsters do interfere with VIN numbers to mask the true identify of a car. Finally always check the VIN on the car against the log book and on the windscreen, they should ALWAYS match.

Buying and selling your Audi need not be complicated and time consuming, with these top tips you should be able to sell Audi quickly, and for the best cash offer and buy your next car with ease.

September 23rd, 2010

With the Paris Motor Show only around he corner, the luxury car marker Bentley, has decided to tease us with a sneak peak at its restyled continental GT in a short video release on the internet. The Continental GT and it’s select special editions have been available since 2003. The new face lift model will have its grand unveiling at this year’s Paris Motor Show in October.

BMW 5-Series Coupe To Be Launched

September 16th, 2010

BMW might make a considerable renaming in its range with the unveiling of a successor for its six series.  The Model would be a coupe derivate and convertible based on the  current 5 Series.

Although it has already become an iconic design for BMW, the 6 Series could change its first name with the launch of the new generation. Unofficial sources speak of a repositioning and rename as a derivate of the 5 Series.  Expected to be named 5 Series coupe and convertible, the model will probably adopt the stylistic characteristics of the segment E sedan.

Even so, the name 6 Series wouldn’t be dropped , the name will serve to identify the four-door serial version of  the concept Gran Coupe, Shooting Brake three-door variant, seen as a competitor for Gran Turismo segment.

The decision to rename the 6 series, comes from the desire to align the supply of the current 5 Series to its smaller brothers, 1 Series and 3 Series, which also enjoy coupe and convertible versions. Another reason for the change in strategy is likely the need to compete head on with the Mercedes E-Class coupe and convertible.

Moreover, the Germans will sell the two new models, on the back of the current success enjoyed by the 5 Series. The coupe and convertible styling will be seriously inspired   by the F10 sedan.  In the case of the convertible model, the difference will be made by the fabric material of the roof.  The two variants of the 5 Series will debut on the European market in 2012.

I Must Sell My Porsche Quickly

September 8th, 2010

After considering it for a little while, I’ve finally chose to sell my Porsche. As anyone who has owned a Porsche will advise you, they are truly beautiful to see and then to drive. I can also say with all sincerity that my Porsche is my pride and joy but I’ve recently received work offer from Australia that is just too good to ignore.

I did so consider taking it to Australia or possibly placing it into storage but I do think that’ll be too costly especially as I have no idea about just how long I am going to be in Australia.

So that’s it, I’ve decided and I must sell my Porsche fast and desperately need some Porsche buyers to fight over my car and offer me the most beneficial cash offer.

I have already begun to organize my Porsche for sale by washing the dashboard, giving it a quick vac and washing the carpets and mats. I have also washed the bodywork and cleared up the alloys which were looking rather grimy. Next week I am going to give my beloved Porsche a quick buff and polish.

The next step could have been to place an advert in the local paper, I have already contemplated how I will craft my advert so that it will my beautiful Porsche justice “A1 condition, 1 careful lady owner from new, full Porsche service history, low miles, no time wasters or canvassers”.

Furthermore, i pondered in regards to the price, I understood that due to the economy as well as hard financial climate that the majority of potential purchasers might be wanting to really haggle me down on the price, therefore i would almost certainly have to enhance the price slightly to ensure that I can walk away with what Needed for the car, my real target price. Yes very sneaky I know!

However a friend, who I occurred to talk about that I was planning to sell my Porsche, explained about the new way to buy and sell prestige cars, he claimed I can sell my car directly to a prestige car buyer for a definite, no hassle relaxed cash sale.

I believed it was too good to be true, a cash buyer with loads of money to spend who only buys prestige cars – like my Porsche!

Well, i Googled “sell Porsche” and found a prestige and specialist car broker site called AutoVip. On their website it states that they’ll use there sector experience and contacts in all the major prestige dealerships in the uk and obtain you the best possible price for your Porsche from serious, cash Porsche buyers

So I despatched them an email by way of their online enquiry form on the AutoVip website, I included the make and model, age, mileage, condition as well as the service history of my Porsche. Within minutes, I received a call back from a adviser from AutoVip to discuss my own targeted price and finer particulars for example the log book. Inside an hour or so I got a good cash offer to sell my Porsche.

All I needed to do was agree the selling price and a agent from AutoVip would come to my desired location, at my preferred date and time to pick up my Porsche, and I reside in Glasgow.

But please don’t take my word because of it. Use the internet here and find out about it on your own, simply Google AutoVip. You’ll discover “How to Sell Your Porsche For The Best Price Fast”

Explore Your BMW Finance Options Before You Talk to The Dealer

August 24th, 2010

Car finance can be a real mine field to navigate, especially with the vast array of complicated financial products on the marketplace. To ensure you get the best BMW finance you should start with reviewing your own personal circumstances and determining your objectives. What would you like to achieve, lower monthly payments or cheapest cost of borrowing per £1 borrowed?, are just a few of the objectives you may want to set.

So let’s start with your personal circumstances first, you should consider the following points as it can affect who will lend to you and at what interest rate. Generally speaking, the lower risk you are to the lender in defaulting, the lower your interest rate.

  1. Are you employed or self-employed?
  2. What is your income, monthly or yearly after tax?
  3. What is the total value of your personal assets including the family home?
  4. What other loans, secured or unsecured do you have?
  5. Do you have any adverse credit history or prior defaults?
  6. Have you ever been declared bankrupt?

If any reason you are not able to borrow enough funds to finance your BMW (perhaps due to a low credit score), you should consider taking out a hire purchase agreement instead

A hire purchase agreement is a bit like a loan and a lease combined, basically you make a fixed monthly payment for a set period of time, say five or ten years. At the end of the fixed period you have a few options. You can simply return the car to the lease company, and you owe nothing. Secondly you can pay a lump sum to the lease company, the lump sum is normally a fixed amount agreed at the time the lease is signed. Once you pay the lump sum the car is legally yours. Or thirdly, you can part ex the car for another and start a new lease.

Hire purchase can be a great way if you’re looking for cheap BMW finance, giving you the opportunity to own a car you might otherwise not be able to afford, and if you’re circumstances change at the end of the hire purchase, you can always buy the car by settling the lump sum payment.

Another way to finance BMW is a lease purchase, it is the same as a hire purchase in that you have set monthly repayments over a set period and there is a lump sum you have to pay the end of your lease purchase. However a lease purchase is different in a number of ways from a hire purchase. Firstly the lump sum and your monthly payments are determined by the car you choose to finance and it’s depreciation. The worse the depreciation at the end of the term, the higher your lump sum and your repayments will be. Secondly, with a lease purchase you have no option to return the car, you have to settle the lump sum and buy the car.

Both a hire purchase and lease purchase represent excellent ways to obtain your BMW finance and to buy cars you might not otherwise be able to afford from luxury BMWs, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche and much more.

As I have emphasised throughout the article, the BMW finance product you choose will be down to your personal circumstances and will depend also on your own objectives. There are plenty of companies offering bmw finance so you should shop around for the best deals. If you don’t want the hassle of ringing around or like most busy people you don’t have the time, you should at least make the effort to find a specialist finance broker who can offer you a tailored bmw finance product.

John Hargreaves is a well-known and trusted expert within the field of prestige car finance and recommends you talk to a specialist prestige car finance provider like http://www.VIPCarFinance.co.uk, who only deal with BMW Finance and high worth car loans of £25k or more.

Oh Lord, Won’t You Find Me Mercedes Buyers

August 11th, 2010

I really, really have to sell my Mercedes but I can’t find any Mercedes buyers, I thought it would be so easy but trying to sell my Mercedes is costing me time and money.

I’ve got a beautiful Mercedes SLK Roadster in silver, it’s only got 12,000 miles on it with 1 owner from new, but I’ve just had a baby and so I need to buy something more sensible, maybe the new Audi A7, it’s a great 4 door hatchback and at least I’ll be able to get the baby seat in the back with loads of room for the family shopping in the boot.

So anyway, I’ve made up my mind and decided I need to sell my Mercedes quickly and for the best cash offer, no dodgy cheques, magic beans or weird emails offering to buy my Mercedes with international money transfer – but first they need my bank account details!

First things first, next week I’ve got half a day off from work and I’m going to give the car a quick clean to make it a bit more presentable, it’s a lovely car with excellent bodywork, no chips whatsoever but just a bit untidy on the inside and some dirt on the wheel arches.

My plan of attack is to wash and wax the cars bodywork and vacuum the carpets, matts and seats. I bought some dash cleaner the other day so I think I will want to use that to clean the dashboard and plastic trims. I also need to get some alloy wheel cleaner to give my alloys that pristine sparkle.

Tonight I was also going to make a start on the advert, here’s what I had thought of so far, “A1 condition, 1 careful lady owner from new, full Mercedes service history, low miles, no time wasters or canvassers”.

But as luck would have it, I happened to mention to a really close pal of mine that I was looking to sell my Mercedes, and he was quick to point out the flaw in my plan, according to my pal, I could sell my Mercedes, quickly and for cash to a specialist buyer and seller of prestige cars.

I thought he was talking rubbish at first, a cash buyer with loads of money to spend who only buys prestige cars – like my Mercedes!

Anyway, I got the details from my friend and went on to their website, it says that they use there industry experience and contacts within all the leading prestige dealerships in the UK to get you the best possible price for your Mercedes from serious, cash Mercedes buyers

At first I was sceptical and thought it was just too god to be true, but I went on to their website by Googling Autovip and I completed their online enquiry form on the website, I included the make and model, age, mileage, condition and the service history of my Mercedes. Within minutes, I received a call back from a representative from AutoVip to discuss my target price and finer details such as the log book. Within an hour I had a firm cash offer to sell my Mercedes.

After accepting the best cash offer, a representative from AutoVip or the successful bidder would come to me at my preferred date and time to pick up my Mercedes, and I live in Cornwall.

But don’t take my word for it. Go online and check it out for yourself, just Google AutoVip. You’ll discover “How to Sell Mercedes For The Best Price Fast”.

August 9th, 2010

Now, if you happen to be going to be paying cash to buy your Audi, BMW or Mercedes, you ought to rethink your choice, why tie up your cash when you’re able to easily finance your Audi, BMW or Mercedes with rates as low as 5%.

Concerned about all the paperwork and fuss, don’t be, using my simple tricks to Audi finance, I’ll show you through the do’s and don’ts of obtaining prestige car finance to ensure that the application passes through quickly is actually no fuss in any way.

Okay so when you start, first thing you have to evaluate will probably be your current financial position, have you been financially independent, one example is would you work for yourself or will you be a high net worth individual. The greater your financial position, the more likely you are to secure Audi finance. In fact, you can even find lenders who specialise in Audi finance for high net worth individuals and tend to be therefore able so that you can secure one of the best rates that you can purchase exclusively for self-employed and high net worth individuals.

The 2nd tip is to go through your finances, your income and expenditure, to decide what monthly instalments you could be comfortable with paying month after month. Again, you should think about that if you could be stretching yourself to secure your Audi finance you might not be able to get finance against your Audi as lenders consider that you be too risky, or they could ask you for extortionate interest levels to pay for the potential risk of lending to you personally.

Another tip could be to establish your credit history, quite simply specifically your credit rating like and do you have any defaults, arrears, CCJ’s or prior bankruptcies. The higher your credit rating then the more likely you are to acquire Audi finance deals for the best interest rates and with the most favourable terms. As before, the explanation for that is that lenders do not want to supply finance to applicants they consider to be unreliable. Now and again you have to clear outstanding finance or loan agreements to find your Audi finance.

When you are struggling to obtain the best prestige car finance you could offer to place down a bigger deposit on the Audi finance, this will assist you in getting cheapest price or lower your rate of interest.

Unless you want to put down your money to get your prestige car like an Audi, BMW or Mercedes, that you simply may not might like to do for the reason that cash could be better invested elsewhere, than securing an Audi finance loan is going to be probably be the greatest route for you personally.

Top Valeting Tips To Sell Range Rover For Best Cash Offer

August 4th, 2010

If you’re looking to sell Range Rover for the best cash offer, keep in mind that presentation is everything, the difference between a poorly presented car and one that has been cleaned and prepared properly can be hundreds, if not thousands of pounds.

Don’t believe me? Simply look in any used car buyers guide and look at the different guide prices for ‘A1 condition’, ‘Good’ and ‘Poor’ and you’ll soon see what I mean.

So, now that you know what to do to sell Range Rover for the best price, we’ll move on to how to clean your Range Rover.

The first thing you need to do is to wash the outside of your Range Rover so that you can accurately inspect the condition of the paintwork. Don’t use  a bucket and sponge at this stage as any large particles such as grit can be spread around leading to lots of little scratches on your bodywork. If you can you should use a pressure washer instead to blast all the grime and grit straight off.

Having washed off all the dirt, you can now inspect the condition of your Range Rover’s paintwork, if you’ve only got small scratches and scuffs you should be able to use a  combination of touch-up paint and some polish to work out these minor imperfections.

You can also use a powered polishing machine for a much better and more professional finish, however you should be very careful here as over polishing the bodywork using a polishing machine can lead to too much paint being taken off which would be very costly indeed as you would have to re-spray the panel or possibly two or more panels if the new paintwork needed to be blended in.

The next step is to take a look at the interior of your car, to start with remove all your mats, empty the boot including the carpet and spare wheel and any other bits and pieces you find and remove the parcel shelf. Having removed these items you can now vacuum your car without any obstacles, pay attention to all the nooks and crannies and where needed, use an appropriate attachment on your vacuum cleaner to ensure you are thorough. Remember also to vacuum the seats.

Pay special attention to the driver’s side seats and the sides which can show signs of wear and tear more than the other seats for obvious reasons.

You should also purchase specialist cleaning products to clean the interior fabric, for example ‘Instant Valay’, a foam based product does a great job of cleaning car seats and restoring the natural look and colour, it also dries very quickly.

Having thoroughly cleaned your Range Rover from the inside, you can now finish the outside of your prestige 4×4 with a top brand polish, applied using a clean chamois leather, leave that for a while and then finish off using a coat of wax

Trying to sell Range Rover needn’t be such a time consuming and complicated business, simply follow my practical tips to cleaning your Range Rover and not only will you be able to sell your car quickly, but also at the right price.

How to Sell Your BMW For The Best Price and Fast

July 29th, 2010

Most people think that the best way to sell BMW is to place an ad in the local newspaper or the Autotrader or even on Gum Tree, it’s quick and simple, right? Wrong, trying to sell your BMW this way could cost you more in time and money, let me explain why.

Firstly you will need to sit down and write your advert, that could take you anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour as you will probably need to do some digging to find all the pertinent information, mileage, previous owners, mot, tax etc etc. You then need to either go online or call the relevant newspaper or publication, read your ad to them as they type it into their computer and then pay them the appropriate fee, probably another 30 minutes of your time will be spent in completing the call.

Okay you’ve spent 1-2 hours placing your BMW for sale advert, now depending on what day the newspaper or publication is published, it could be another 1 week to a few days before your ad is seen.

The next job is to clean your car so that it is presentable, depending on the condition of your BMW this could take a few hours or half a day and could cost at least £100 in valet and cleaning fees. To give you an idea, you will need to clean the dash, vacuum the carpets, you may even need to buy a pair of new matts, buff out any scratches and repair any damaged alloys.

By now you’ve probably spent between £100-200, wasted at least a few days and all before you’ve even taken a single call.

The next bit of joy is waiting for the phone to ring, if you are lucky you will start to receive a few calls a day from people who haven’t read the advert properly and want to know the mileage, the colour, is it petrol or diesel etc etc. In amongst these calls will be canvassers wanting to sell you advertising space, it makes no difference of you state in your advert, “strictly no canvassers, they will call you anyway.”

If you’re lucky enough to get a few buyers around to view the car, you will need to make sure they are insured to test drive the car, most people swear blind that their policy covers them for this but usually they are mistaken or just lying, don’t believe me, check your own policy and see if you are covered to test drive other cars.

Inevitably you will have to be ready to deal with hagglers who want to beat you down on price, not because you haven’t priced your car sensibly but so that they can tell their mates what a great deal their new BMW was.

Are you now starting to get the picture?
But don’t despair, there is another, better and faster way to sell your BMW, you could talk to a prestige and specialist car site such as AutoVip. They will use there industry experience and contacts within all the leading prestige dealerships in the UK and get you the best possible price for your BMW from serious, cash BMW buyers

They will then contact you within minutes to discuss your target price and finer details such as the log book. Within an hour you can expect to receive a firm cash offer to sell your BMW.

Once the price is agreed, a representative from AutoVip will come to your preferred location, at your preferred date and time to pick up your BMW, and that’s anywhere in the UK.
