    You’re dealing with a financial emergency and it doesn’t look like you have many options available to get out of it. You have a tight budget with very little savings and you don’t have a good credit score, meaning you can’t borrow the money from a lender. If you do nothing, things will only get worse, but you’re not quite sure what else you can do. Believe it not, there are a few ways you could get your hands on some quick cash, but many of them are time-consuming or require you to dig further into debt.

    One surefire solution to getting your hands on some cash would be to sell your car. If you have an old car that you’ve been looking to get rid of, there are interested parties that will take it off your hands in exchange for cash. Here are a few ways to sell your car for the money.

    Go to a Dealership

    Dealerships are always looking to make a quick buck and may be willing to pay you for your car. If you have a used car, that’s in decent condition and in high demand, you can offer it to the dealer at a good price. Keep in mind, the car has to be in mint condition and you’ll probably take a significant cut in the offer. As the dealers will need to turn a profit, they can’t offer you top dollar.

    Find a Junk Car Buyer

    If your car isn’t in the best condition, but you still need some quick cash for it, you can locate a junk car buyer. Companies like Car Sold for Cash offer top dollar for vehicles in all types of conditions. All you have to do is locate a buyer, set up an inspection, and get an appraisal. If you like the amount they’re quoting you, you get the cash and they take the car off your hands.

    Mechanics

    Have you ever driven by an auto garage and seen vehicles marked for sale out front? Lots of mechanics repair cars and resell them to interested parties. If your car doesn’t have a lot of mechanical damage and can turn a profit once spruced up, a mechanic may just be willing to buy the car from you. If for nothing else, they may be able to use the parts from the car in another client’s car and save money on parts.

    Sell It In Pieces

    The last option would be to break your car down and sell it in parts. You can try hawking parts to local junkyards or auto shops. This method would obviously require a bit more time but could earn you more cash than selling the car as a whole if it is a clunker. Once you’re done stripping it for parts, you can sell the scrap metal for a few extra bucks.

    Car Selling Tips

    Now you have a few quick methods to try and get cash for your car. Before trying any of these avenues, you may want to take notes on these pointers below:

    Price the car right – pricing a used car can be tricky, but do some online research to see what your car is worth. Then, consider any problems that will need to be fixed. Lastly, try to price it a bit above what you’d really like to receive so if there is a negotiation, you get an amount closer to what you actually wanted.

    Be willing to negotiate on the price – when trying to get cash for your car fast, you don’t have the luxury of time to be picky. This is also true if the car is really a piece of junk. Therefore, if you get an interested party who wants to pay less than the asking price, it may be best to negotiate than turn the deal down.

    Highlight the positives on the vehicle – When trying to sell your car for cash to a dealership or mechanic, you’ll want to show them why they need your car. If you’ve recently had repairs or upgrades done, highlight this when talking to try and get a sell.

    Selling your car could still take you a few days, but these methods are proven to be a lot faster than trying to advertise online and wait for interested private buyers. Remember, the key to getting the cash fast is to price it well, be willing to negotiate, and to highlight features that would interest the buyer. If you follow this advice, you should have no problem in getting your car sold for cash fast.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
