Used Bike – Prepare for that Perfect Disposal!


What makes the disposal of a used bike complicated? It’s the lack of preparation. Various sellers walk through hurdles while they dispose their used bikes. All they need to take care of is a little knowledge on the market scenario and what goes into the preparation. So let’s check out, how we can prepare for the next disposal of our used bike.

Presentation

Anything which looks presentable can be sold out easily. Make sure that your used bike looks good so that it does not get rejected in the first impression only. If required, get its washing done or make an investment in some wet wax or chain lube. Good looks can also help in earning more on it.

Servicing

Once your used bike is ready from outside, it’s time to check out its inner parts. A mini service can serve the purpose here. Don’t miss out anything. Your efforts at this stage will result in less bargaining on your used bike.

These preparations are not that big but have a huge impact on the sale of a used bike. In case, you need an expert to carry out the disposal of your used bike, then Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) is a perfect destination for you.

There is no de-growth as far as we are concerned. We are growing 50% year on year currently across all the segments and we expect to maintain the same pace this year also. De-growth is present in the new cars and commercial vehicles segment but not in the used car segment.
