How to sell your car online?

Today, you can sell just about anything over the internet. Cars, too. Over the last couple of years, a number of websites have entered this segment. This includes carnation.in, mahindrafirstchoice.com ,CarDekho. com and MotorExchange.in . The advantages are many for potential sellers. This mode of sale helps bring in a wider audience for the seller. Since the dealer has a fixed location, the number of people that a seller has access to is limited.

On the internet, many more people can be reached. Those looking at buying a car can even compare the vehicles through the websites.

Selling it to a dealer means you could end up getting 20-30 per cent lesser than what you would get in a direct deal with the buyer. The dealer will impute a number of charges, commission, rentals and warehousing costs. Besides, given that only 10 per cent of the dealer market is organised, it is difficult to benchmark their cost against others.

Going through a website is definitely more cost-effective, Such websites even offer you expertise, which gives confidence to a person who is looking at buying a car —a big advantage.

A website such as Carnation or Carwale does not charge you any commission or fee for evaluating your car. You can list your car for free with these websites. Sample this: a Honda Accord (2005), which has done 41,000 km, is being sold for ~4.95 lakh at a dealer in Mumbai. Whereas, on a website like CarDekho, a Honda Accord (2005), which has done 81, 000 kms, is being sold for ~5.55 lakh.

To sell your car through a website, first, you would have to register with them. The potential buyers will make bids for your car. Buyers can directly contact you. While this is the direct option, another option is to sell it to the website based on its quote.

Some offer additional services for a fee. For example, Carnation will take the necessary photographs for the website and also create a verification report, which talks about the condition of your car. Carnation will charge you ~1,000 for the verification report.

After you contact us, our engineer will call you for an inspection of your car. After the auction, our representative calls you and communicates the final price. If you are okay with this price, he proceeds to set up an appointment between you, the winning buyer and our executive at which point payment and paperwork are concluded. The entire process from inspection to sale can be concluded in just two days.

Very old cars, too, can be sold online. For buyers, the websites even offer post-purchase servicing.

However, one major disappointment for buyers from these portals is that they cannot test-drive the car they intend to buy. Dealers score here. Since test drive is a very important part of the decision on one's purchase, it could prevent many from taking to the online route. The solution: Selling it to the web portal, so that interested customers can come and test-drive it.

Yes, websites do score on convenience but dealers make a difference by allowing a test-drive – an important part of selling the car and getting the right price. If you were to sell it to the website, you may not get the best price. Therefore, do a cost-benefit check before opting for either.

Websites like Carnation does not charge any fee or commission for evaluating yourcar apart from giving a wider audience

The fund sticks to its mandate to adapt to the dynamic nature of the market by shuttling between debt and equity. It takes aggressive asset calls in equity when the market surges by investing in quality mid-cap stocks. At the same time, it adopts a defensive strategy by investing in debt and cash when markets get overvalued, making it a good long-term choice.     For further information contact Prajna Capital on 94 8300 8300 by leaving a missed call     Leave a missed Call on 94 8300 8300   Leave your comment with mail ID and we will ...

Feeder funds are the cheapest way to invest in gold

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   There are four ways to put your money in gold — buying physical gold/jewellery , putting money in gold exchange-traded funds ( ETFs ), investing in a gold savings fund and going for the National Spot Exchange's e-gold. Now, some gold ETFs and e-gold even allow taking physical delivery of gold at the end of investment tenure. That might sound good if you wish to possess physical gold. But, given the firm price of gold today (almost ~31,000 per 10g), it is important that gold is bought through acost-effective avenue. Reason: Investing comes at a price. Add to that, India's gold buying is expected to decline in 2012 and 2013, according to the latest World Gold Council ( WGC )report. WGC Director Vipin Sharma feels gold imports may drop to 800 tonnes from 967 tonnes last year. And the mix between the jeweller...

Lump Sum or SIP?

Invest Mutual Fund Online     You have a lump sum in hand and you wish to invest in equity funds. However, you have heard a lot of talk about investing in equity funds through Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) because they help average costs, ensure you do not ill-time the market, and help you invest in small sums, besides giving you many other advantages. So, should you invest the money you have in hand in one go, or let it remain in your bank account and then do an SIP? There is no harm in investing a lump sum amount. For all you know, compounding, over the long term, could work better with lump sum. However, make sure you fulfill all of these three criteria if you want to invest in one go. Else, SIP is the way to go. #1: You invest for the long term According to past data, ideally, if you have a time frame of 12 years or more, you can consider lump sum investing (provided you satisfy the other two conditions that follow). So, what is the sanctity behind 12 years? Is it because only...

Mutual Fund Review: Reliance Regular Savings Balanced

Reliance Regular Savings Balanced fund has shown great resilience during market crash After a shaky start, this fund has established itself as a strong contender in this space. In the past three years it has ridden the market well by not only delivering during the market run-ups but also displaying resilience during the crash. In 2008, it witnessed the second lowest fall among its category and last year it was amongst the top three performers with a return of 76 per cent (category average: 61%).   The poor underperformance in 2006 can well be credited to the low equity allocation of the fund, which stood at just over 10 per cent for only four months that year. Though the fund has the leeway to go up to 75 per cent in equity, it has never touched that limit. In fact, it has exceeded 70 per cent in just five months in its entire history. During the crash of 2008, the fund managers had no problem going right down to 54 per cent (equity exposure). Fund managers Omprakash Kukian and A...

Tax Returns: Myths and facts of filing your Tax Returns

THE fiscal year has ended and many choose to make tax-filling. Despite this being a regular, annual ritual, several tax payers have some misconceptions, some of which are listed below: Misconception No. 1 Filing tax returns is a complex and cumbersome process.
