One of the best ways to keep money in your pocket is to sell your car for free, avoiding broker's fees or listing fees. Why wouldn't you want to sell your car for 100 percent profit? But how can you sell my car for free you ask?

First, you should always do some research on free classified sites. The most popular sites will show dozens of cars that will give you an idea of how much your car is worth, or at least how much your type of car is selling for in your area. A paid listing site may give you an idea of what you should charge, but you have to pay to list your car, which is something you want to avoid so you can keep more of the money you make.

Once you have determined the value of your car, you're going to want to find places to list it for free. A quick search on a search engine will turn up dozens of free sites that will let you list your automobile for sale. Most of these though, will be a big bust when it comes to selling your car. While the site may show ads in your area, it may not get the kind of traffic you need to expose your car to the right number of potential buyers.

The two largest sites for free classifieds are Craigslist and kijiji. Write a very detailed descriptive ad about your car for sale on these sites. Be sure to include mileage, condition, and highlight all of the positives! Some marketing professionals suggest adding a human element to your story by talking about why you want to sell the car, why you bought the car and what you enjoyed about owning it. If you have an SUV that carried your family on weekends to the beach and the best vacation of your lifetime, be sure to say that in your ad, and how you hope by selling this car, you can offer the same great experience. This will set your ad apart from all of the other autos listed on the free classified site.

Once you're satisfied with your description, be sure to mention the price and method of contact so that people will know how to get in touch with you. Before you post your ad to the free classified sites though, copy and paste your ad into a word document for use in another way to sell your car for free. Post the ad and instead of kicking back to let the calls roll in, take the ad you've saved in a Word document and format a flyer. Print up 25-50 copies and make a poster of it. Now go park your car in a mall or store parking lot. Put the fliers under the windshield wiper with the words, "take one".

Here a few things to remember when selling your car. When you cover a high foot traffic area with a take away flyer, you will have people calling on the car, especially if you've priced it right. By posting your ad on a high traffic local classified site, you will increase the reach of potential buyers. People will call you, so schedule appointments with them when you have them on the phone, and be sure to write their phone numbers down beside their name. That way, if one of the first visitors buys your car, you can call the others to cancel the appointment. It also allows you to contact anyone who skips the appointment to set up a follow up appointment if the car doesn't sell on the first day.

A little creativity can go a long way when you're looking for ways to sell your car for free. By thinking about where people go, either in person or on the web, and putting your information in front of them, you will find a buyer fast and get more profit from your car sale.
