If you own an exotic or luxury car, that makes you one of the lucky ones.

Exotic cars not only look great, they feel great, too – adding a glamorous edge to their owners’ daily lives. Unsurprisingly, it’s the dream of every man and woman to experience the thrill, pride, and excitement that comes with owning such a car.

However, despite their benefits and price tags, exotic cars do get sold on by their owners. So naturally, most people would question: “Why would you even want to sell your exotic car, anyway?”. After all, driving an exotic car is one of life’s peak experiences.

Believe or it or not, though, there are many reasons to sell your exotic car, be it to fund another investment or even to help towards upgrading to another luxury vehicle.

Buying exotic cars is easy – it’s selling them that’s the trickier part.

Therefore, here are some pro tips for selling your exotic car!

Sell to a reliable buyer

Whether you’re selling a Ferrari or Bentley, you need to know how to sell exotic car smartly.

The first and most important step is finding a reliable buyer with plenty of industry experience. Try to avoid selling to car dealerships and private parties – these are often a recipe for problems. You’ll likely receive low offers and lots of hassle, which you don’t need.

So, make sure to only sell to a reliable buyer. It will make your life easier, and you’ll be paid the amount of money your luxury car deserves.

Ensure everything is in good condition

Hopefully, over the duration of your luxury car ownership, you’ve been kind to your vehicle, and not like James Bond – who regularly crashes his cars! Any damages, internally or externally, will be noticed and will likely affect the payment figure you receive.

So, prior to putting your car on the market, have it checked out at a garage to get the thumbs up. From there, clean the interior of your car, and remove any possessions. Then, of course, the final step is simple: Give your car a good clean. 

Gain a strong idea of how much your exotic car is worth

It’s a bad idea to rush into selling your exotic car without having any idea how much it is worth.

Naturally, your car will likely have declined in value since you first bought it due to various factors, including:

• The age of the model
• How many versions of the model are currently available on the market
• Milage
• Condition (damages etc.)
• Service history

However, if you’ve customized your car, you might have actually increased the value of your car, particularly if it’s still a relatively new model. For example, if you’ve given it a chrome wrap or new rims. This will even impress the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, who loves luxury cars!

So, to understand how much your car is worth prior to selling it. You can use lots of free evaluation websites that involve typing in your car model and various other details, like the ones mentioned above.

Also, you can search the marketplace to see how much your model is currently selling for – this is an excellent indicator of how much you should be asking for.
