When you reach the point of selling your car, the biggest question that comes to mind is: "Should I sell it myself by posting it online or should I use a broker?" Each method has its advantages and challenges. Let's look at the differences between these two methods so you can make the right decision.

Direct Selling Online

Benefits:

1. No Brokerage Fee: If you sell yourself by posting online, all the money for selling the car goes to the owner of the car, although posting online yourself does not give you a hundred percent guarantee that the person who comes to buy is the buyer himself. Sometimes your ad is seen by brokers and they can advertise without you knowing. Although if you find a buyer yourself, the advantage is that you do not need to pay brokerage fees.
   
   
2. Price Control: You decide the price you want without the pressure of a middleman trying to convince you to lower it.
   
   
3. Direct Contact with Buyer: You have the opportunity to thoroughly explain the history of your car and answer the buyer's questions yourself.
   
   
4. Reachability: Through platforms like garipesa.com, Facebook Marketplace that WhatsApp Groups, you can reach a large number of buyers in a short time.
   
   

Challenge:

• It takes time: You must be prepared to receive multiple calls at any time, answer questions, and schedule appointments for people to come see the car for inspection. Sometimes a buyer may tell you they are coming to inspect the car, so you have to wait for them and they may not show up, and you will have already wasted time doing other things.
  
  
• Unscrupulous Brokers and Customers: You may meet people who come to inspect and sometimes brokers may come to inspect and not tell you or other times they may come as scammers.

• Lack of Negotiation Experience: If you don't know how to negotiate a price, you can sell at a loss and possibly get scammed because not every customer comes with the intention of buying a car but to commit a scam.
  
  

Selling Through a Broker

Benefits:

1. Easy and Fast: The broker handles everything – finding buyers, showing the car and even helping with the final agreement, although brokers may quote a higher price to the client than you wanted and then come back to you and tell you that whatever is over and above the price you gave them is theirs and you also have to pay them the brokerage fee.
   
   
2. Market Experience: Many brokers have a large network of car buyers, so they can speed up the sales process.
   
   
3. Stress Relief: If you don't have time to answer phone calls regularly and accept the inconvenience of showing a car without a customer buying, a dealership is an easy solution.
   
   

Challenge:

• Cost: Brokers like to charge a higher price than even the owner of the property, so sometimes they will want to lower your price and increase it for the client so that they can make more money. If you are not careful and persistent, your profits will decrease.
  
  
• Risk of Selling at a Low Price: Some brokers may try to persuade you to accept a low price so that they can sell at a higher price or quickly just to get their brokerage money. The broker does not look out for your interests, only their own.
  
  
• Deceptions: There are some unscrupulous brokers who may promise you buyers who don't exist or delay selling your car.
