Many people are choosing to sell their vehicles on their own instead of trading them in. The gossip is that you can get more money for your vehicle if you sell it on your own. This is true, but there are some requirements that must be met in order for anyone to receive top dollar.
First, the vehicle must be in good mechanical condition. If something is wrong with it, you will lose more than what the repair would cost. The buyer's entire perception of the vehicle will change. He will think, "what else is wrong with it", and he will offer you much less. It's almost always worth it to have any necessary repairs done.
Secondly, you need to have it looking in the best condition possible. The better it looks, the more it will sell for. If a buyer sees a dirty car, he will assume it was not taken care of well and will offer much less than bluebook value. If a buyer sees a vehicle that looks better than any other vehicle of the same make and model, he will assume that the vehicle was taken care of well and will offer much more.
The selling price difference between a dirty car and a like-new car (cleaned, reconditioned) is usually at least $500 and often more than $1000! This is solely due to buyer's perception of how the vehicle was taken care of.
Affordable Automotive Detailing offers the best reconditioning package for those selling their own vehicle. Approximately a $200 investment on average will almost always yield an extra $500 or more!
If you don't think it's worth it, think again.
