Connecticut winters can be tough on vehicles. If you're thinking about selling, doing so before winter arrives can help you get a better price. Here's why.
Why Sell Before Winter?
- Winter driving adds wear and reduces your car's condition
- Salt and sand damage the undercarriage and body
- SUVs and 4WD vehicles command higher prices in fall
- Convertibles and sports cars sell best in spring/summer
Connecticut-Specific Considerations
CT's mandatory emissions testing can be a hurdle for older vehicles. Selling before a failed emissions test can save you repair costs and get you fair market value.
