So you are thinking about selling your car. You could trade it in or sell it to a company like Webuyanycar, however, you’ll probably receive the lowest possible amount.
Your other option is to sell it privately and get a price true to its value.
Here are some tips that you can use to attract the right buyers for your car:
Keep your car clean
Clear out any items that do not need to be in your car.
Ensure that your car is free of stains, marks, and smells.
Consider a mobile car valeting service - You can save time and energy, plus they can take care of difficult stains and smells in the upholstery of your car.
Repair minor panel and paintwork damage
Depending on your car's model and year, scratches and dents can take several hundreds of pounds off its value. If you have minor body and paintwork damage you should consider getting it repaired. Spending a few hundred will mean that you can sell your car closer to its value. Why lose money when you can repair slight damages from the comfort of your home.
