You may have been having little to no luck finding the right car on sale. You may also have a specific car in mind to buy, yet, it is not available at the dealers. At this same time, you may see someone with the kind of car you have always wanted.
I don’t think it’s a bad idea to ask if the person is willing to sell the car or not, as long as you are capable of paying for it and you have the right words.
Although, some people may feel you wish them immobility when you ask them to sell their car especially if they have just one car, however, I feel the manner of approach and means of presentation of your question matters a lot in order not to make the person feel you are wishing them bad because you can afford their car.
That is why I have written this article, today, you will get over twenty ways to ask someone to sell their car that wouldn’t suggest you are a bad person for wanting to trade their car with whatever you are offering.

1. I need a car, but I’m so unfortunate that I never get to find the type I like. Would you be willing to sell yours as it is the exact specs I had in mind?
You can ask someone to sell their car by telling them that their car is the exact car you have always wanted and pouring out your frustrations about how you have not been able to find one.
- I have been searching for this exact car of yours for a long while now and I have been so unfortunate not to find one. Would you be willing to sell yours or recommend where to buy it?
2. For someone indebted, you can sell your car to pay off your debts and then plan on saving towards another.
If you know someone who is indebted and has come to you for advice, you can use the opportunity to tell him or her to sell off their car and lay off the debts that they owe.
- My candid advice on clearing your debt will be that you sell off your car since it generates no form of revenue and then clear your debts. It’s more of a liability as it is just parked here without use, you can always buy another in the future.
3. Are you open to selling your car? I’m currently in the market for one.
Ask someone who will want to sell their car by indicating genuine interest in buying one.
- I’m currently in the market for a car, let me know if you are open to selling yours.
4. If the thought of selling your car ever cuts across your mind, just reach out to me as I’m very ready to buy it.
Mark your spot in the mind of the person you are asking to sell a car by telling him or her that you are ready to buy whenever they want to sell.
- Whenever you think of selling your car, don’t forget that I’m the number one interested buyer.
5. I know you have a fleet of cars, so it might be a good idea to sell one to me as you don’t always use all of them.
One way to ask someone who has a fleet of cars to sell their car is by giving them a good reason to want to sell theirs as I have used in the example here.
- Since you have a fleet of cars, selling your car might just help you free up some space in your garage.
6. Your car has served you well, but maybe it’s time for an upgrade.
You can ask someone to sell their car by convincing them that they are due for a car upgrade.
- Charlie, you have used this car for the longest and it has served you well, it’s high time you thought about selling it and getting an upgraded car that suits your status.
7. I heard you’re moving to a new city, so selling off your car could be a smart decision.
If the person you want to ask to sell his or her car is moving out to another city, you can tell him or her that a smart decision would be to sell off the car rather than stressing to go along with it which may be costly.
- Are you going to transport this car to the city you’re moving to as well? Why not sell it off and get another when you settle there?
8. With all the back-to-back complaints why not sell your car and take a much-needed break from the car issue?
If someone is in the habit of always complaining about their car, you can ask the person to sell their car and take a break from all the problems the car has brought.
- You complain about your car every blessed day! If you ask me, I would honestly tell you to take a break by selling off this car so you have peace of mind.
9. I heard you sold your first car to get this one, maybe you should just sell this off as well to me since you’re good with getting new cars.
You can ask someone to sell their car this way if they are in the habit of selling cars to get another. They may even be more willing to sell to you.
- Can you sell your car to me since you’re good at getting new cars?
10. Have you considered starting a car business, it’s no new news that it’s very lucrative, you can start by selling your present car to me.
Telling someone to start a car business is a very funny way you can use to ask them to sell their car. Promising them their first patronage from you would be the ice on the tea.
- Everyone knows you are a good businessman, if you start selling cars today you know you will receive huge patronage, you can try what I’m saying by attempting to sell your car to me.
11. Selling one of your cars is a brilliant financial decision if you ask me.
Another way to ask someone to sell their car is by explaining to them that it is a very smart financial decision to make.
- In this harsh economic situation, selling one of your cars is a good financial decision.
12. If you badly want to go on that vacation, selling your car may be the fastest way to generate the money.
Ask someone who wants to go on a vacation but has no money to sell their car to be able to fund their vacation.
- Rather than going crazy over how to raise money for your dream vacation, why not sell your car, that’s like the fastest way to generate funds as it stands.
13. Do you need your car? This may be the perfect time to sell the car and get more cash.
Indeed, there are times when people do not need what they own, and suggesting to someone that it is the right time to sell off their car is not a bad idea.
- This is the right time to sell your car.
14. Have you considered selling your car and using public transport, looking at how difficult it is to get petrol now?
Honestly, this sounds like mockery so you may only want to use it as a joke or use it on someone who knows you are not coming from a bad place at heart.
- Coming from a good place, why not just sell your car and stick to public transport looking at how expensive petrol is?
15. If I were you, I’d sell my car and get land when the value of the land appreciates, I can go for a better car.
While cars are liabilities, lands are assets as their value will always appreciate. You can ask someone to sell their car by explaining to them that selling off their car to get land will be a good investment.
- Why not sell your car, get land, and buy a better car when the land appreciates?
16. Since you are having a financial crisis, why not sell off your car and lay off your driver? You will be saving a lot of extra cash on that.
Ask someone to sell their car and at the same time save some money while at it if they are undergoing a financial crisis.
- To ease your financial burden, I’d advise that you sell off your car, lay off your driver, and use the staff bus to work since you barely go anywhere else.
17. You can just sell your car and go for something smaller yet efficient.
Advising someone to sell their car and get something smaller is another way to ask them to sell their car.
- You should consider selling your car and going for something smaller if you want to start saving money.
18. Do you know anyone who is selling their car right now, I’m interested in buying one and paying extra cash.
Another way to ask someone to sell their car (when you have information about them wanting to sell) is by pretending you don’t know he or she has plans of selling and asking them directly about a car seller then adding a juicy or irresistible offer.
This way the person will just tell you that his or her car is up for sale – easy peasy right?
- Can you recommend someone who has their car on sale, I need one badly so I don’t mind paying extra.
19. Your new position at the company comes with a luxurious car and a driver. If you would like to sell your car, please consider selling it to me.
If the person whom you want to get a car from just got promoted at work and this scenario fits, you can ask them to sell off their car in this manner.
- As the new CEO, you will get a very good car and your driver, so what will happen to your Toyota? If you intend to sell it, please consider me the most interested buyer.
20. Having a roof over your head is more important than driving the latest car, why not sell off your car and buy a house?
Ask someone to sell their car by emphasizing the importance of owning a house instead of a car and suggesting they get themselves a house with the proceeds of their sold car.
- You spend so much money on rent when your car is worth two good homes, why not sell it off and buy yourself a house? You will still have some cash left to get a smaller car.
Parting Words.
Apart from wanting to buy a car, you may just want to offer free advice to someone who you think is due for a new car which is not a bad idea if you ask me.
All the best in your car hunting, I hope you have an easy experience and land the car of your dreams as you use any of the examples you have gotten from this article.
