Sell My Car: How To Prepare Your Vehicle For Sale

If you want to sell your car, there are some things you might want to do to prepare for a sale. Don’t worry too much though, as our team will ensure your vehicle is up to standard. However, if you want to make an excellent impression, here are some things you could do:

I Want To Sell My Car – What Do I Need?

Other than contacting Plymouth Car Buyers, there isn’t that much you need to prepare for a sale. Just make sure you have the right documents and items that came with the vehicle. If you choose to clean your vehicle beforehand, you should ensure you know where the nearest business is that can offer these services. If you want to do it yourself, you should gather cleaning supplies.

How Much Will It Cost?

Preparing for a sale doesn’t have to cost anything at all. If you want to go the extra mile, the price for a simple wash and valet could cost as little as £15, but might be even more depending on the level of detail wanted. 

How Long Will It Take?

The process of selling your vehicle with Plymouth Car Buyers won’t take long at all. In most cases, we might even be able to pick up your motor the same day. You should set aside an hour of your time to make sure everything is ready.

1. Clear The Vehicle

It’s important to get rid of all your belongings inside and ensure you leave nothing behind. You should check in the side doors or glove box too. When you sell your car, it is important to make the best impression to get the best price possible. Either do it yourself or take it to a carwash, but getting the vehicle cleaned inside and out will help make it look the part. It’s not necessary and it won’t affect the price much, but it will make all the difference.

2. Prepare The Documents

Next, it’s important to gather up all the documents you have for the motor. You’ll need the V5 document for signing your vehicle over to us. If you have them, it would be great to have the service logbook or receipts as that shows that the car has been taken care of. Having this history is a great selling point, so make sure to provide them if you have kept track.

If you have any spare keys, it’s a good idea to dig these out as it can be beneficial for the next owners.

3. Complete Maintenance

This step isn’t necessary as our team can help take care of these, but having these in check is a sign of an owner who keeps up with vehicle maintenance. If the tyres are looking a bit flat, then make sure they’re up to the right pressure. The same can be done for screenwash and oil. The better condition a vehicle is in, the more it will sell for, so if you want to get the most for your motor then follow these steps.

Also, if you notice any lights that aren’t working, you could go the extra mile and replace the bulbs. This just shows that you have kept up with maintenance and are a quality vehicle owner.
