Tips To Help You Sell Your Car For More
Money
On Your Own
~~~~~~~~~~
If you do not want to spend the money for an auto detail, take it into
your own hands, but be prepared to get a little dirty.
I can't stress enough the importance of a sparkling clean car. You
MUST clean out everything if you want to get top dollar for your auto.
People WILL spend more money on a car that has a "shine" to it. It
gives the impression that the car has been well taken care of over the
years.
Think about it, would you spend your hard earned money on a car that
looks completely trashed?
Start with the interior. Why? Because you don't want to wash and wax
the outside, then vacuum and clean the inside which will just get the
exterior dirty again.
If you don't have a powerful vacuum that can handle the carpets and
seats, ask a friend or neighbor. When asking, inquire about a steam
cleaner. This is optimal for a deep, thorough clean.
If your resources turn up empty, check the yellow/white pages for any
"Wash- It- Yourself" car washes in your area. They generally have
powerful vacuums that cost around fifty cents for approximately three
minutes of use.
When you are cleaning the interior, don't forget to clean under the
seats, inside the glove box, ashtrays, trunk, anywhere and everywhere
dirt and grime has accumulated.
