When you begin the process of selling your car, the value of your vehicle is going to be determined by a few key factors. The make and model will play a role, as will the model year. The mileage on the vehicle and the overall condition of the car will also be important.
A quick summary of important factors includes:
- Make, model, and model year
- Interior and exterior condition of the model
- Mileage
- Vehicle history report
The vehicle history report is also important. Having a prior accident isn't going to stop our dealership from being interested in your car so long as the proper maintenance was executed afterwards. So, the vehicle history report is a good way to ensure reliability moving forward. It also details other important services that have been executed over the years.
So, how can you ensure you're getting the most value during the selling process? Basically, you want the vehicle to be in the best possible condition.
Cleaning the interior and the exterior of the car is important. The cabin can be spruced up by vacuuming the seats and floors and wiping down any hard-touch surfaces, such as the dashboard or the center console.
For the exterior, take your model through the car wash to give it an attractive shine. You can also wax the car or have any paint scratches touched up by a professional.
Finally, be sure that your model is up to date on any service requirements. Even if the model requires a simple oil change, it's best to stop by a service center and have this taken care of before selling. Other minor blemishes such as dings and dents should be smoothed out before attempting to sell the car.
So, a quick list of to-dos looks like this:
- Have the model cleaned inside and out
- Ensure all necessary maintenance has been executed
- Smooth out any exterior blemishes like dings or dents
- Coupes and sportscars
- Sedans and hatchbacks
- Crossovers and SUVs
- Trucks
