Maximising Your Car's Value
When you sell your car, we're assuming you want to get as much as possible for it. Understanding how your car is valued is one thing, but there are a variety of steps you can take to ensure you maximise your car's value.
Nobody wants to buy a car that's in bad condition or missing important maintenance documents, so getting issues ironed out before you try to sell will make your car much more desirable. Whilst these suggestions are fairly simple to do, they've proven to increase the amount of money sellers receive once the deal is complete.
Give Your Car a Wash
Cars are much more appealing when they’re sparkling. If we can see that your car has been kept in tip-top condition, we'll be able to offer the most money for it.
Maintenance Check
Cars that have recently been serviced and successfully MOT'd tend to be worth more than those that haven't. Making sure consumables are in order is also beneficial.
Repair Any Damage
Damage, such as deep scratches or scuffed alloys, really stands out when inspecting a vehicle. A professional repair to any damage will go a long way in boosting what your car's worth.
Gather Paperwork
Bring all the car's paperwork along with you to the valuation appointment, including the owner's manual and service booklet, as this can also increase value.
