But why do you want to sell it ?I've never understood the 'why are you selling?' question. My answer is always "because I want to sell it".
Family getting bigger , need a bigger car ?
Bought a newer car with less miles on it ?
Transmission fixing to go out ?
The WHY is very important
How long have you owned it helps screen out the flippers or dealers
I've bought a few cars from flippers and dealers over the years but it's a red flag to look for stuff they hid or covered up since their only goal is to make a quick buck from an unsuspecting buyer
Why are you selling it ?
Helps expose someone who is dumping it because the transmission is fixing to croak or whatever
Depending of course on how good of a liar they are , most people are not expecting that question and of they stumble and stutter when you ask it , that's a red flag
Again , it doesn't mean it's not a good vehicle for the money , just means you gotta look a little closer
Any seller saying their car has a rebuilt engine is lying unless they have the receipt,
If you pay thousands for a rebuilt engine or Trans that comes with a warranty , you're gonna keep the receipt
Same with "the oil was changed every 3000 miles "
If they are that OCD about maintainence they will have a folder full of receipts
Its not that hard to keep an envelope on the glove box and put the receipts in it
I usually don't pay much attention to Milage either , assume it's been rolled back unless that have documentation , like years of receipts from the oil change place showing the Milage on it
Either that or it's sat around for years without being driven , which is actually worse for a car than driving it
If the miles got put on by a traveling salesman on long trips , it usually doesn't wear out the vehicle as much as if the same miles were put on by a mail man or a teenager who did nothing but drag race at every stoplight and never check the oil
And Milage is not as important as the overall condition
I've owned and driven cars with 300k+ on em
I daily drove one car with 490k on it
