It doesn’t matter if you are selling your car privately, part-exchanging it through a dealer or selling it at auction – you will want to get the best possible price.
Here are some tips to help you make your car more attractive to potential buyers.
Make sure you give your car a good clean; a clean car will make buyers think you look after it. If you don’t have time, consider paying for a valet service.
Touch up any minor damage on your car or wheels. If you have any small chips in your windscreen they can usually be repaired for free under your car insurance. Buying a cheap set of car mats also helps make the interior look clean and fresh.
Check all your car essentials. Check the fluid levels for the oil, water, coolant and breaks. Check all the electrics and make sure all the lights are working correctly. Check your tyres, including your spare – make sure they are inflated and have no damage to them and that the tyre tread is legal.
If your car is due for an MOT, you should consider getting one done. A new 12 month MOT is an attraction to would be buyers – a full service history is also a big plus.
After you’ve finished getting your car in tip-top condition – you may just want to keep it after all.
