Summer breeze – Sell a convertible or a fun sports car in the winter and you’ll feel an icy chill on your investment

It is not a new concept to sell your cars online to a company that specialises in providing you with an offer price based on your vehicle details.

However, there is one key factor that could make the most of your valuation and this – although it may seem obvious – is to sell with the seasons.

Selling a 4WD

If you own an SUV or 4×4, you will find that your car is worth more in the cold winter months than when the sun is shining.

Even if you start looking at selling your vehicle in the run-up to the winter, people will be thinking about how they are going to get about when the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Selling a summer car

It goes without saying that the same rule applies to “summer cars”. Summer cars can range from cabriolets to fun runabouts and sports cars that are more suitable for daily use when the weather is good.

Once again, sell in late spring or early summer and you are likely to have more demand for your vehicle which should, in turn, mean that you will be bid a higher amount for your vehicle (especially if it is a popular model with a sought after specification).
