Factors affecting the profitability of sales

Several aspects determine the right moment to sell:

• Seasonality : Demand for cars is higher in spring and fall than in winter or summer.
• Age of the car : Cars lose 10–15% in value per year, so it's better to sell before they're 5–7 years old.
• Mileage : Cars with mileage up to 100,000 km are sold more easily and more expensively.
• Market condition : During periods of economic growth, demand for cars is higher.

Best time to sell

• Spring (March–May) : Buyers are actively looking for cars before summer trips.
• Autumn (September–November) : Demand increases before the winter season.
• Before the release of a new model : The old model loses value after the announcement of a new model.
• After maintenance : A clean and well-maintained car attracts more buyers.

Preparation for sale

• Perform pre-sales diagnostics and troubleshoot minor problems.
• Wash the body, engine and interior for an attractive appearance.
• Take quality photos and write an honest description.

Tips for a good deal

• Study the market to set a competitive price.
• Place ads on several popular platforms.
• Be prepared to haggle, but know the minimum price.

Selling at the right time and with good preparation will bring maximum profit.
