1. Prepare Yourself: If this is the first time you are going to sell a car, it is recomended that you go through this step, which could help conducting your base. Do a bit of research. What is available in the market and who is selling what and at what price. The purpose of doing so is this, One, you will get to know the market you are going compete with. Second, you will get the opportunity to see everything from buyers point of view, which will be helpful for you in order to prepare yourself for the questions you will be asked by buyers.

Its time for self assessment, you judge your product's price & value by keeping the competitive market in front of you. Obviously, the price has to be realistic and natural if you want to sell your product in decent time period without wasting it, Otherwise if you have plenty of time to bear then you can advertise your car / motorbike with the price of whatever you like but then chances are very thin that you would get away with making a successful deal.
