 TITLE: How Much Equity Should I Have in My Car Before I Sell? CONTENT: Making the Most of a Car Sale\n-----------------------------\nTo make a profit from selling your car, be sure you have positive equity in the vehicle. Want to maximize your profit? Wait until you've paid off your car and have the title to it; then sell to a private party. This will net you the biggest profits from the sale—giving you more money to put toward your next set of wheels. END
