5 Tips for Selling in Thiruvananthapuram

1

Water-damage transparency protects your price

Given Thiruvananthapuram's monsoon flooding, a used-car buyer here will ask about water damage before anything else.

2

Photos from the right angles

Front 3/4 view in daylight, rear 3/4, interior dashboard, odometer reading. 4 high-quality photos beat 20 blurry ones. Buyers scan photos in seconds.

3
