You may also need to sell it privately if it\u2019s older than 2012 or has more than 150,000km on it.<\/p><p>Selling a car privately can involve meeting prospective buyers in person and organizing test drives. It can also involve people no-showing, rescheduling appointments or lowballing. You\u2019ll need to complete all the paperwork to sell the car yourself and you have a higher chance of running into scammers when collecting payment.<\/p><h4>When to sell to a dealer<\/h4><p>You may want to sell your car in Ottawa to a dealer if you\u2019re short on time and want to make a quick sale. Selling to a dealer also makes sense if you want to sell a car that you still owe money on or you want to trade your car in for a new dealership vehicle.<\/p><p>Most dealers will give you an instant offer for your car and some will even pick the car up from your home. Most will also deal with all of the paperwork, and you can feel safer with the payment aspect if you\u2019re working with a reputable company. The main downside is that some dealers will try to lowball you and you may get less for the car than it\u2019s worth.<article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Related: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/sell-used-car\/sell-car-ontario\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">Find out how to sell your car in Ontario<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/p><h3>Popular general marketplaces to privately sell a used car in Ottawa<\/h3><p>If you don\u2019t want to use an online service or in-person dealer to sell your car in Ottawa, you can use general marketplaces such as Kijiji and Facebook Marketplace.
