When is the best time to sell your car?
Choosing the right moment to sell can boost your return.
We purchase vehicles throughout the year in Derby, but the demand for certain car types definitely fluctuates with the seasons.
Spring and Summer Months
When the sun comes out, buyers look for convertibles, sports cars, and classic motors. Families also tend to upgrade their SUVs just before the summer holidays begin.
Autumn and Winter Months
As the weather gets worse and the roads get icy, four wheel drives and rugged pickup trucks become highly sought after. If you own a Land Rover or similar vehicle, winter is a great time to sell.
Check Your MOT Expiry
Cars with a long MOT are far more attractive. If your test is due very soon, it might be worth passing it before you sell. You can verify your MOT status online easily.
Upcoming Maintenance
If a major service or expensive repair is looming, such as a cambelt change, it could be smarter to sell the car now rather than paying the garage bill.
