Step 1: Clean and prepare your Skoda for sale

The first impression of your Skoda counts, so before placing an ad, make sure to clean your car both inside and out. Remove any personal items, vacuum the seats and carpets, wash the exterior, and polish the headlights. Check the oil and brake fluids, and ensure the tyres are in good condition. If there are any minor scratches or dents, consider repairing them. Doing these things can add value to your Skoda and make it more attractive to potential buyers.

Step 2: Determine the value of your Skoda

As you prepare to sell your Skoda, it is essential to understand its value. You can determine the asking price by doing some research beforehand to learn about similar car models and their price range. Websites such as Autotrader and Gumtree can provide you with an idea of how much other Skodas are selling for. Compare the age, mileage, condition, and any additional features of your vehicle with others on the market to get an accurate estimate.

There are various online tools, such as our own car valuation tool, which can provide you with an estimate.

Step 3: Advertise and market your Skoda

Once you’ve cleaned and evaluated your car, it’s time to advertise it. Here are some popular ways to get your Skoda in front of potential buyers. Firstly, take some quality photos of your vehicle and create an advert to post on car selling websites. By using a descriptive title and providing detailed information, you can attract interested buyers. You might also want to consider advertising in local classifieds, using social media or word of mouth to increase visibility.

Step 4: Handover the keys

Finally, the moment arrives. Once you’ve finalized the sale and received the payment, it’s time to handover the keys. Ensure that all keys and documents are transferred to the buyer, and answer any questions they might have. Before waving goodbye, take a final look at your Skoda and appreciate all the good times you've had with it.
