Ready to swap your old ride for a new set of wheels – but not sure what your car is worth? Hoover Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM can help! Here’s what you need to know about resale value:
Resale value reflects the amount of money your car is worth when sold in its current condition. Several factors affect resale value, but in most cases, luxury vehicles, trucks and SUVs are worth the most.
Once you’ve decided to trade in and trade up, it’s time to choose between selling to a dealership and selling to a private party. While you may potentially get more money by selling your vehicle yourself, keep in mind that you will have to deal with the hassle of advertising – as well as meeting and negotiating with buyers. This process can be time-consuming and frustrating, especially when deals fall through. If you trade in your vehicle at a car dealership in Summerville, our team will handle the entire process!
No matter which method you choose, here’s what our Hoover Service Department recommends to boost your vehicle’s resale value:
Perform Routine Maintenance and Keep Maintenance Records
Keeping your car in top-notch condition makes a major impact when selling your car – so be sure to retain detailed records. Proper maintenance management can boost your car’s value, serving as evidence that you took good care of the vehicle. Keep receipts from every service appointment, from oil changes and coolant flushes to more serious repairs.
Car Detailing And Exterior Care
Just like regular routine maintenance and repairs, frequent car washes and professional detailing help to increase your resale value. Plus, they ensure your vehicle makes a great first impression! Keep your receipts for these services as well.
Detailing is a part of maintenance, after all, just like rotating your tires or replacing a piece of equipment. Detailing keeps your paint job in premium condition, with regular waxes protecting it from scratches, scrapes and the elements.
