How to Prepare Your Car for a Sale 
To get your car ready for resale, here are a few easy things you can do to ensure you get the most value. If you are ready to sell your car, contact I Buy Cars Today.

Perform an Oil Change - Regular oil changes is a great indication of good upkeep, especially if you changed your oil every 3,000-8,000 miles, in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Even if it isn’t due for a few thousand miles, it’s best to perform an oil change if you’re planning to sell your car so that potential buyers will see clean oil in the engine if they decide to check. Keep a receipt of the oil change to prove maintenance was completed.

Windows – Make sure your car’s power windows are in working condition as this will be one of the more common things a potential buyer will check.

Clean Your Vehicle–This includes washing and waxing the exterior, removing all clutter in the car and trunk, vacuuming and wiping down all interior surfaces, and cleaning all the windows. You may consider having it detailed by a professional to save you time. Don’t forget to also replace burnt-out lights or fuses and top off all fluids.

Prepare Your Car Information – Gather your car’s inspection records, prepare itemized copies (with service receipts) for prospective buyers. This assures potential buyers that you’ve kept up the car’s maintenance and that you’re selling a reliable vehicle. Make a copy of your vehicle title in preparation for a sale.
