You may either take your used car to a dealership either to sell it or to trade it in towards another car, both have their distinct advantages and disadvantages to deal with.

Condition of Your Vehicle
Everybody wants a good price, and while privately selling your used car, private buyers are going to go that extra mile to get you to come down on the price and agree on whatever they demand. Every little dent or stain in the upholstery become an excuse for the private buyer to try and force you to accept a lower price and take a loss out of the deal. The private buyers may often be nervous about minor cosmetic defects. If your car is not in flawless shape, you may face the risk of being either negotiated down to a much lower price, or putting up a lot of money into your car to improve it before trying to sell it.

Dirty Scammers
When you decide to sell your used car online, you come across sugar coated emails that reads too good to be true. A common scenario may be a buyer desires to buy your car in full price.

You should be suspicious to any offers that are out of the ordinary. Though this expertise comes with experience, yet you may decide wisely to save yourself and your used car from any trouble.

The biggest risk of all time lies in the chance of your car not selling at all. Your safety certificates might expire that may force you to spend money renewing them and prolong your car sale though your used car is in the market, sitting idle.

Dissatisfied Buyer
When you sell your used car, you also run the risk of the buyer coming back to you and claiming that there is something wrong with the car and that they want their money back. With this you run the risk of winding up in court dealing with a lawsuit.
