One of the most important aspects of selling a car second hand is to pick the right price to advertise.  Picking a price that is too high will lead to fewer buyers and more reluctance to close a deal.  Picking a price that is too low will lead to plenty of buyers, but will leave the seller short of money that they could have made had they chosen the right price.  Also, it is not in the interest of sellers to constantly undersell, is it drives down market values and increases depreciation in the long run.  So – finding a good and fair price for your used car is very important.  If you are stuck wondering “what’s my Audi R8 value,” for example, a little research goes a long way.

With the internet, it is a lot easier than before to find an estimate for your car value.  There are many different websites that offer some kind of car valuation service, most usually for free.  All you need to do is supply a few details such as the car make, model and age, as well as a general overview of the condition it is in, and the website comes up with an approximation of how much the car could be worth. 

Another way the internet makes it easier to value your car is by looking at sales that have gone through.  Car auction sites are particularly useful for this, and even eBay can be a good place to look.  Anywhere that shows how much a car sold for is a useful place to look.  Just be sure to look at cars that are the same model as your own, preferably with a similar age and condition.
