Your selling plan
If this were our car
From the team that runs the Auto Fair.
Your car's value doesn't change. Each card is a different way to price it. We picked the one we'd use.
These are the things buyers look at, and what to do about each one.
Follow this day by day.
Worth the moneyBuy a vehicle history report. A Carfax or AutoCheck report costs about $45 and shows the car's accident and service history. Buyers trust a seller who shows one before being asked, and it saves you from answering the same questions over and over. Put "history report available" right in your listing.
Clean the car and shoot in daylight. Here's what a good one looks like, and the full list is below.
Take more than this. The more photos you post, the better. Every extra photo answers a question up front, so buyers text you with fewer questions and show up ready to buy.
The 11 × 17 is the one for your car window. The 8.5 × 11 prints on any home printer. Both carry your price, your number, and the QR code buyers scan to text you. Change the price or notes any time and print again.
Bigger and easier to read from outside the car. Your price, your number, and the QR code are the first things a buyer sees.
Standard printer-friendly version. Regular paper works, and buyers up close get your notes too.
On a phone, the print screen can save it as a PDF.
Know your numbers before the first buyer texts you. Then every offer is easy to answer.
Five things and you're done. Miss one and you could have problems after the sale.
Free paperwork, already made for you
Illinois bill of sale and a title checklist. No sign-up, no cost.
Any honest number needs a second opinion. These open live listings for cars like yours, near you, right now. If most of them sit inside your range, your price is solid.
One more thing
A plan can't bring you buyers. That's what we do.
This exact sticker gets printed and goes in your window at the Auto Fair. Buyers text you right from it.
Your listing reaches buyers online. The Fair reaches local buyers who want to see a car in person, in one lot at Harper College instead of your driveway. Drop it off Saturday morning, go enjoy your weekend, and you keep 100% of your sale.
