Selling an old car isn’t always easy. You might feel attached to the fun times that you had taking road trips, going on dates, or watching movies. More often than not, though, selling an old car isn’t easy because no one wants to pay your asking price. Your Hatfield Toyota dealer has some advice that will help your car stay valuable as it ages.
Don’t Get a Weird Paintjob
You and your friends think that flying dragons, women in bikinis, and skulls are awesome! You think they’re so awesome that you had them painted on your car. Guess what? You made a huge financial mistake when you did that. No one is going to pay top dollar for a used car with a ridiculous paintjob.
In fact, don’t paint it at all. Just stick with the factory paintjob.
Never Smoke in the Car
Practically all non-smokers agree: cigarette smoke stinks! Unfortunately it also penetrates fabrics and refuses to leave. No matter how much you clean the upholstery, it will still smell like smoke. If you want to keep your car valuable, take smoke breaks far away from the interior.
Don’t think that rolling the window down helps. That will only trick smokers with poor senses of smell.
Keep Your Maintenance Receipts
Keep all of the receipts for maintenance and repair services. Potential buyers will like seeing that you got the car’s oil changed every three months to the day. Proof that your car has been cared for can only improve its value.
