How to Boost Your Car’s Value

So, you’re thinking about selling your vehicle. What can you do to help increase the selling price? Sure there are the simple things, like cleaning it and taking great pictures. But what else do you need to do? Read on to see how to boost your car’s value, and sell it quicker!  

Three Ways to Increase Vehicle Resale Value

Lights, Dents & Scratches: If the lights don’t work, get them fixed. However, if they are working and have become dull and foggy, take some time to learn about how to clean them up. It’s generally acknowledged that bright clear lights make a car look nicer. For dents and scratches that are more eye-catching than you’d like, bring your car to see an expert. What you’ll gain in resale value is well worth fixing up those minor issues.

Chipped or Broken Windshields: Any windshield issues can take a big chunk off your vehicle’s sale price. While it might seem expensive or annoying to replace your windshield, the KBB experts say that most of the time you’ll make back what you paid in increased vehicle value.

Tires and Brakes: If your brakes are totally worn out, replace them before selling the vehicle. However, if you aren’t selling a luxury vehicle and your brakes are still doing alright, don’t replace them. When it comes to tires, it’s not worth putting a whole new set on. However, it is important not to have bald tires on your car when you sell it. Increase its value greatly by putting on a set of matching used tires.
