We know classic car enthusiasts enjoy spending their time around incredible classic like a 1968 Porsche 911 Coupe or a 1986 Mercedes 560SL Roadster. So do we! And we all agree that it’s a blast to chat with other classic car aficionados about them, too.
But, when it’s time to sell a classic car, some owners want to get down to business. There may be another classic on their list that they’d like to trade for. Or they have a plateful of obligations and need to sell the car quickly. No one wants their time wasted, but if you’re selling a classic auto alone, it may be unavoidable.
Some prospective classic car buyers aren’t as serious as they claim to be. For instance, on a call, they might initially agree to the price offered, then balk as soon as they show up to view the car. Or maybe they chat the seller up for hours without making a clear commitment to purchasing the car. And then there are the scammers looking to pilfer your classic car in one way or another.
If you are still ready to DIY a car sale, here is a video from Scotty Kilmer called “How to sell your car for the most money as possible”. He’s passionate about all types of cars, but our team focuses on buying, restoring, and selling classic cars.
