If you are considering selling your car in a second hand car market, you can do that. You have to keep in mind just few things. And you have to prepare your car to get best price possible.
Now how to prepare your car to get best possible price. Think what the customer will see first. The first thing customers will view is the exterior of your car. And you have got only a single chance to make the first impression. It is a psychological factor. If the car's exterior is clean and shiny, client will think that the car is well maintained. If there are scratches and dents on the chassis, repair them. And remove the oxidation on the body paint by waxing and paint restorer. Various materials are available in the market as paint restorer. A clean and shiny exterior will also help you get higher price for your car. Also, make sure tires are not muddy and windows are clean. Wash the wheels and windows thoroughly and use some dressing to restore the wheels. These little details will help you impress the client.
Once you wash the car thoroughly, take a look at it. Do not forget to wash the windshield. Also review the hoods, roofs, fenders and doors. Make sure your car's doors and windows are rightly aligned, and doors are not making any noise while opening and closing. If they do, repair them. It will contribute in the overall appearance of the car.
Be sure that headlight and taillights are in position and working. Take a look at the rear view mirrors. If they have any cracks or fitted loosely, fix them. Also make sure your break lights are working when you are pushing the break. What about the turn lights? Make sure they are working properly while turning the car to left or right. While washing and repairing your car for cars on sales, these are very small things, but contribute hugely while assessing the car's value. And it would be better if your car's tires are not totally worn out, but still have some curves left to them.
Now take a look at the interior of the car. It is as important as the exterior to the client. Wipe the inside of the car and vacuum clean the seat covers, mats and the carpet. Clean the window and the windshield from inside, and make sure they are shiny. Spry a good quality air freshener to make the car odour free. Take care of the dashboard and clean its compartments, such as glove box. Also check the luggage compartment is also clean.
Now check the most important part of your car – the engine. Pop open the cover of the engine and take look. It should not be dirty and full of grease. It would give your client a bad impression. Because if you take care of your car well, the engine also be clean and should not make any unusual noise. Check the car's suspension and exhaust system. If it emit a small amount of white smoke, then it is ok. But if it is emitting black smoke then the engine probably requires tuning. The engine's performance is the single most important thing while assessing value of the car. Although the exterior and the interior of your car contribute hugely when deciding on price, the engine's condition can make or break a deal. So, along with the exterior and interior of the car, keep the engine in tip-top shape as well.
Also keep your car's service/ maintenance book in order and handy to impress the client.
