Using Social Media to Buy or Sell a Used Car in Tampa, FL

Social media is a powerful tool, connecting people and providing a forum that is rich, varied, and immediate. Cox Auto, your Tampa, FL-area Chevy dealer, has joined in with Facebook and Twitter accounts designed to keep our customers informed of new vehicles and new deals available. As such, we’ve seen a lot of interest in buying and selling used vehicles via social media, and not only dealerships, but individual sellers and buyers are getting into the game as well.

A Great Way to Interact with Your Customers

Online networking is definitely a great way to sell or buy a pre-owned car. Connecting to a number of people all at once in a public forum provides a level of trust that is missing from the more traditional print ads. The interaction that social media offers is invaluable.

Posting or tweeting pictures of the car, along with pictures of yourself, gives potential buyers a good look at the vehicle and your self-pic personalizes the process. A separate album that contains pictures of the vehicle, inside and out, is very useful to a shopper.

Make sure that the information you post is correct, and provide updates as necessary. Don’t overload others with a barrage of alerts about the car you’re selling, that just annoys people. You can to be careful not to cross that line, so be judicious in your tweets, invites, and messages.

Of course, a number of people prefer to trade-in their pre-driven vehicle at a dealership. At Cox Auto we value your trade in, and on our pre-owned inventory page we provide a link to Black Book®, an independent service that takes the guesswork out of pricing a used vehicle. You’ll receive the best deal possible at Cox Chevy.
