Best Time to Sell Your Car in Kolkata

Best months to sell in Kolkata are November-February (post-Durga Puja onwards). Avoid peak monsoon (June-September) when test drives and transport are disrupted. Bengali New Year (April) creates a short demand spike.

Listing timing matters — a verified listing created in a high-demand month can sell 30-50% faster than an identical car listed during a slow period. If you're not in a rush, align your listing with buyer-active months in Kolkata for the best outcome.
