How To Prepare Your Car For Resale?

When selling your car, it’s important to put your best foot forward. Below are some tips on how to get your vehicle ready for the sale:

Clean Your Vehicle – The first step is always to clean your car thoroughly. 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 time.

Repair Any Damage – Check your vehicle for damage, dents, dings or scratches. Also replace any burnt-out lights or fuses and top off all fluid levels.

Check Your Brakes - If you’re selling a luxury vehicle, new brakes are worth to replace. For non-luxury vehicles, you may need to deduct $100-150 from your asking price depending on your vehicle.

Check or Replace Tires— To get a sense of overall wear and tear, buyers may look at your car’s tires. If your treads are worn or uneven, it may be best to replace them with matching used tires.

Have a Professional Mechanic Check Your Car – To avoid any potential surprises, it may help to have your mechanic look through your vehicle to make sure it’s in good resale form
