Best place to sell your car – the no drama way to doing it right

Selling your car isn’t just about finding a buyer—it’s about finding the right one. 

Much like the King in our latest film A King’s Dilemma, choosing the wrong selling path can lead to an outright bad deal. Not everyone’s lucky enough to have a prince come swooping in to save the day with a fair offer (as in the film).

Whether you’re doing it all yourself or letting a platform handle it, each method comes with its own perks and pitfalls. Not convinced? Well, let’s break down the different ways you can sell your car: 

1. Sell to a reputable online car platform like Carro

This is the best of both worlds. Big reputable used car marketplaces like Carro are able to give you their best price guaranteed. 

Pros 

• Fast, hassle-free process.
• Get a free inspection and offer within the day.
• Transparent pricing (based on market data, no hidden fees).
• Carro even helps with loan settlement and ownership transfer.
• Very quick payment once the deal is done.

Cons  

• You might not always get the absolute highest price, but you’ll get a fair, transparent offer backed by data.

Verdict:
Carro gives you a fast, reliable and hassle-free experience. No drama. Like a trustworthy royal advisor.

2. DIY/Direct to buyer

Think of this as the hands-on, super hustle route. You’re either listing on classifieds to sell it yourself, or going through a friend of a friend of a friend. 

Pros

• You’re in control, and you tend to get the best value as you cut out the middleman
• Big audience
• You set the price

Cons 

• Takes up a lot of your time as you handle everything yourself—screening buyers, arranging viewings, haggling, etc.
• Your inbox will explode with lowball offers and inquiries.
• Safety concerns when meeting strangers and conducting test drives. Scammers love these platforms.
• You need to handle your own paperwork, car inspections and loan settlement.

Verdict:

In our opinion, it’s more work than it’s worth for most people. You could save some money, but spend weeks of effort and stress doing it. It feels like a full-time job, except you might not even get handsomely paid for your efforts. And if you’re not prepared to hustle and screen strangers, this one’s tough.

3. Sell to traditional used car dealers

This is fast and simple, but sometimes not ALWAYS rewarding. Plus, there are some dealers out there who are just plain shady and are lowballers.  

Pros

• Quick transaction. Drive in and get an offer

Cons 

• You may get a lowball offer and be undercut
• Some dealers use pressure tactics and may even delay payment.
• No transparency on how the value is determined
• Not all are licensed or reputable – check reviews online before visiting one!

Verdict:

Convenient, but can be risky. Not ideal if you care about getting a fair price or a smooth experience. You HAVE to do your due diligence more than usual.  

One last royal tip from us to you!

Whichever route you choose, make sure you go through the proper channels and procedures before you sell it:

• Get your car inspected by a trusted mechanic/platform
  
  
• Make sure all paperwork is done legally
  
• Beware of sketchy buyers or deals that seem too good to be true

A prince may not ride in to save the day, but luckily, Carro is here to play that role.

We offer a transparent, hassle-free process with a fair market price—no drama, no lowballing, and definitely no painful negotiations. Just a quick inspection, a solid offer, and full payment in your account fast.
