Sell My Car Today – Rohan Needed to

Rohan from Brookfield called me because he needed to do just this.

He had had enough of trying to sell his 2008 Mazda 3 on CarSales.com.au and on Gumtree with nothing but tyre kickers calling and maybe/maybe not showing up to view it.

Before I continue with this story, let me share something I have learned about Gumtree.com.au.

If you are trying to sell a car for over a few thousand dollars, forget it.

CarSales – even though it is expensive, is the best place at this point in time.

If you are going to find a buyer for a decent car, it will be there.

Not Gumtree.

This is why:

Gumtree searchers are generally looking for a bargain.

If your car is over a few thousand dollars and is not CHEAP, there’s not much chance of it selling.

This is my experience over a long period – do let me know if your experience is any different.

Back to Rohan.He told me of a weekend in July where he had arranged for 3 different enquirers to come and look.

None of them turned up.

Nor called to advise they wouldn’t be making it.

This seems to be how most people behave when they are buying a car.

Courtesy goes out the window!

To be fair, these people made the calls during the week and Rohan works strange hours (hospital worker) so he set aside a day on the weekend when he knew he had no shifts.

I guess people forget who they have called to buy a car and don’t write things in their diaries.

Or when they have bought a car, they just completely forget about calling anyone else they have made appointments with.

Whatever the reason, it’s a real pain when you’re trying to sell your car for cash!
