What's the Best Way to Sell My Motorcycle or Powersport Vehicle During COVID-19?

Posted by Cash4Motorcycles on November 9th, 2020

Since COVID-19 began barreling down on the United States, everything has changed, including options you have for selling your motorcycle. Fortunately, the team at Cash4Motorcycles offer a streamlined process where you can sell your motorcycle, ATV, watercraft, or powersport in as little as an hour— even during COVID-19. Our process means you are likely to deal with a single person and adhere to all social distancing protocols. Let's take a closer look at how Cash4Motorcycles makes selling your motorcycle as easy and contactless as possible.

What's the Best Way to Sell a Motorcycle, Four-Wheeler, ATV, Watercraft, or Powersport Vehicle During COVID-19?

Traditionally, selling your motorcycle, four-wheeler, ATV, watercraft or other powersport vehicle required you come into contact with several different people. Whether you traded it in at a dealership for a new motorcycle or sold it directly to another person, these methods make maintaining social distancing difficult.

Selling or Trading Your Motorcycle at the Dealership During COVID

Even though trading your vehicle in at the dealership commonly nets you less money, it's still one of the most popular ways to complete the transaction. And the popularity of this option can be attributed to the ease and convenience of trading your vehicle in at the dealership. The down side is when you are not in the market for another power sport vehicle. If you do decide to trade your vehicle in at the dealership, you will probably need to go there personally. Unfortunately, this means you will likely be in contact three to four people — not including the other customers at the dealership.  The other downside is that you may have to haul your motorcycle to several different dealerships in order to get a reasonable price for your used motorcycle.  This increases your risk by exposing you to even more people.

Selling Your Vehicle Privately to an Individual

Another common option for selling or trading your motorcycle is to sell it privately. While selling it privately to an individual may net you more than trading it in, this process can take the longest and include the most physical contact, while requiring the most effort. Here are a few key steps involved in the process:

1. Have the vehicle professionally cleaned, inspected, and serviced prior to listing it for sale.
2. Post pictures and accurate information on several different automotive, powersport vehicle, and motorcycle trading websites.
3. Research the best price to list your vehicle at. Pricing it too high means it will never sell or garner interest while pricing it too low may not compensate you for your investment or time.
4. Field and answer questions from countless buyers about the vehicle.
5. Physically meet interested buyers who would like to see your vehicle in person, and they may need to test drive it.
6. Negotiate the price with potential buyers. You may have to repeat this step several times depending on whether you find a serious buyer that has the funds available to make the purchase.
7. Complete all necessary tag paperwork, sales documents, and transfer of title. This can be the most tedious steps because mistakes can be extremely expensive.

As you can see, there are several steps involved with selling your motorcycle privately. In total, selling your motorcycle privately can take several weeks or months to complete. Worst of all, selling your vehicle privately during COVID means you'll need to come into contact with several people — effectively multiplying your exposure.
