Best Tips for Increasing a Used Vehicle’s Resale Value


A harsh truth plaguing the automotive industry is that every vehicle loses its value over time. It's just the nature of the business. However, that doesn't mean you won't get anything back when you sell it to a private party or a dealership like Dewey Auto Sales. Even if you've been a little lazy when it comes to keeping up with maintenance, there are still things you can do to get the best possible deal for that car, truck, van or SUV. that you want to sell. are

1. Gather Necessary Documents/Accessories


When you bought your car, you probably wanted to know that the previous owner had taken good care of it. The person you are selling it to is no different. Collecting maintenance records will be useful in showing a potential buyer that oil changes and other tasks have been completed on time. Also, ensure all registration and insurance documents.

In addition to documentation, you'll also want to make sure you collect as much of the equipment that came with the car. Examples include:
1.Spare tire and jack
2.Owner's Manual
3.Sun Shades, Cargo Covers etc.
4.Spare keys

2. Schedule a Check Up

Bring your vehicle to a repair shop you trust and have them look at it and identify any problems. Small issues like burned out headlights, replacing brakes if necessary and other similar work can go a long way toward adding more than a few dollars to the resale value. Our experts do not recommend doing major repairs on large systems because the cost-benefit ratio is not in your favor.

3. Find Professional Detailing Services

If you're going to spend a lot of money preparing your vehicle for sale, scheduling an appointment with a professional automotive detailer may be the most cost-effective. A detailer will be able to restore the vehicle to when it first came off the assembly line, or at least reasonably close.
