There comes a time when the car owner thinks about selling his car. The natural desire of the seller is to sell as quickly and dearly as possible. First of all, it is necessary to assess the feasibility of pre-sale preparation of the car. Does it make sense to invest money in it. And after that, decide for yourself whether it is worth doing it in full or not.
Pre-sale preparation of the body
The machine must be clean both outside and inside. The car must be thoroughly washed and then inspected before being sold. Chips and corrosion on the body paintwork must be treated with special rust converters and carefully painted over. Rotten thresholds need to be treated with fiberglass and covered with anti-gravel coating. If the engine is heavily contaminated, then it should also be washed. Curved discs can be hidden under hubcaps.
In order for the car body to look well-groomed, you can use the service of professional polishing of the paintwork. The craftsmen will remove the top layer of varnish and polish the surface again. After this procedure, minor flaws will disappear and the car will look much better.
Preparing the car interior for sale
The salon needs to be thoroughly vacuumed, remove all debris, wash ashtrays. If there are hard-to-remove stains in the salon, then you need to use the services of a professional dry-cleaner. Armchair stains can be covered with covers.
Particular attention should be paid to the pleasant smell in the cabin. If you smoked a lot in the car, then the smell from cigarettes disappears for more than a month.
During the pre-sale preparation of the cabin, it is also advisable to replace the cabin filter. With long service lives, bacteria grow in the filter, which can also cause an unpleasant smell in the cabin. All bulbs should be on, heaters should work without interruptions, and wipers should be good at cleaning glass.
Technical condition of the sold car
Among the purely technical shortcomings of a car, you should first remove those that directly affect the comfort of movement. If the car is driving or the camber cannot be adjusted, you can deflate one of the wheels a little to level the car.
No need to cheat the buyer
When selling a used car, you still need to try to be as honest as possible. Tell the buyer about the weak points and include the date of the last service. Those who believe that if you hide the real state of affairs, then the chances of a sale can increase significantly, are mistaken. You will not scare away the buyer with detailed information, but, on the contrary, will endear him to you. It turns out that he is an honest and decent person who willingly shares all the useful information.
