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

Mutual Fund Review: Religare Tax Plan

Tax Plan is one of the better performing schemes from Religare Asset Management. Existing investors can redeem their investment after three years. But given the scheme's performance, they can continue to stay invested   Given the mandated lock-in period of three years, tax saving schemes give the fund manager the leeway to invest in ideas that may take time to nurture. Religare Tax Plan's investment ideas revolve around 'High Growth', which the fund manager has aimed to achieve by digging out promising stories/businesses in the mid-cap segment. Within the space, consumer staples has been the centre of attention for the last couple of years and can be seen as one of the key reasons for the scheme's outperformance as compared to the broader market. It has, however, tweaked its focus and reduced exposure in midcaps as they were commanding a high premium. The strategy seems to have worked as it returned a 22% gain last year. Religare Tax Plan has outperformed BSE 100...

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

Mutual Funds: Past Performance is not just everything

Many a times your agent / distributor / relationship manager tries to push you some mutual fund schemes by enticing you with a typical sales pitch…"Sir, this scheme has generated 20% returns in the past one year." And this sales pitch often gets louder when the market conditions have been favourable. Some of the agents / distributors / relationship managers have another unique way of luring you. They say, "Sir / madam this scheme has been awarded the best scheme award in the past by a leading business channel"... And hearing all these sales talks you investors very often get attracted and sign a cheque in favour of the respective scheme.   But please ask yourself do you hear these sales talks when the capital markets turn turbulent? Why is it so that your agent / distributor / relationship manager avoids talking to you during turbulent times of the capital markets and doesn't boast about returns generated by the respective funds or awards being conferred on t...
