Know Your Car’s Worth
You’ll need to know the right price to sell your vehicle for, and there are a few ways you can estimate its value. We feature an online trade-in tool from the Edmund’s car site that can offer you a True Market Value Report®. This tool will give you an estimated worth based on some of the following aspects:
- Make
- Model
- Trim level
- Standard features and upgrades
You can seek out some other sources that can provide values, or even guide you in your research as to what you should price your own vehicle. These include:
- Instant cash offers
- Other dealership inventories
By checking other inventories, you can get a better idea of the local market’s supply and demand for your make and model. When you choose a dealership, you can then schedule an in-person appraisal to have your vehicle assessed.
Boost Your Car’s Value
If you want to increase your car’s value to get the best estimate at your in-person appraisal, there are a few steps you can take. Consider doing the following:
- Wash the exterior
- Vacuum the interior
- Fill in paint scratches
- Check and fill fluid levels
- Ensure you have a matching set of tires
Many of these steps should be simple to complete from home, but you can also go to a mechanic for larger repairs you think should be done. If you go through with any repairs, keep the receipts and present them at the appraisal to help get an added boost.
Prepare Your Car for Sale
With a boosted value, you’ll now have a few final steps to complete before selling your car. There are a few items you should have on hand to give to the dealership. These include
- Car title
- Car registration
- Maintenance records
- Warranty papers
- Spare keys
Another important step before selling your car is to make sure you’ve erased your technology systems. Certain personal information like addresses and phone numbers might still be stored there, so you should clear out the following for added safety:
- Navigation systems
- Smartphone-linked apps
- Garage door openers
