Return to Hyderabad T-7 and counting

T-7 and counting

We have reached T-7 and things are getting to
closure and on track so far. Biggest items that were bothering were selling car and
disposing off major furniture. Based on experience start planning to sell
car/van well in advance.

Van Sale

I posted adv on craigslist.com and cars.com for selling the Van. From cars.com
no response at all even though they charged $40 for the service. Craigslist is simple and best network available out there. Only risk with craigslist is that often you will end up with lots of non-committed buyers asking too many questions. On craigslist adv is active only for a week, so keep refreshing it and every time you refresh there is sudden active responses. Regarding pricing, I used standard Kelly blue book (KBB.COM) and Edmunds.com websites. Edmunds is more close to market value and if you can close it around that price,its a good deal. Its better to start the process well in advance, atleast 2 months in advance if you want to strictly do private party sale. Selling it to dealer will be a ripoff and especially if they know that you are moving out of country. Few highlights to successfully sell car is that most of the people who come to see you vechile make the decesion within few minutes based on how neat it looks, its kind of LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT syndrome and it WORKS! So make sure car is cleaned throughly
