For one, you\u2019ll seldom make a profit &#8211; unless you fixed up an old banger! So, it\u2019s already annoying without having to deal with hagglers trying to sneak the price down even lower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The sad reality of selling a car is that your vehicle can lose its value in so many ways. Obvious things &#8211; like how many miles you\u2019ve driven &#8211; spring to mind. Stuff like that is unavoidable, and there\u2019s not much you can do about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">At the same time, there are some smaller things that instantly devalue your car yet are completely avoidable. You\u2019ll find a list of them below, explaining why they decrease the value of your sale and what you can do to prevent them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No proof of purchase<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Having proof of purchase shows that you actually bought this car. It\u2019s proof that the vehicle belongs to you and hasn\u2019t been stolen. Buyers will often refuse to purchase vehicles that don\u2019t have proof of purchase because it\u2019s kind of dodgy and risky. If they still want to buy your car, they\u2019ll likely ask for a much lower price. You\u2019ll have to agree as nobody will buy your vehicle for the asking price without this important document.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you don\u2019t have it, try to contact the previous seller to get a copy. This would be much easier if you\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thehealthyjournal.com\/frequently-asked-questions\/how-do-i-prove-i-own-a-car#:~:text=If%20you%20bought%20your%20car,for%20each%20vehicle%20they%20produce.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">bought your car from a dealership<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">No service manual<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Don\u2019t underestimate the power of\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.repairmanualsblog.com\/the-repair-manual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">vehicle service manuals<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. These manuals detail everything you need to know about servicing your car. They explain how to make common repairs, how to change oil levels, and so on. If you try to sell a car without a service manual, there\u2019s a big chance no buyer will be keen to buy it for the asking price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why? Because they don\u2019t know how to service the car. It\u2019s particularly problematic if the manual can\u2019t be found online too. Keep this manual safe as it will help your car retain some value. If you have lost yours, find one online to either buy or print out and hand to the next owner. A car with a service manual will be more valuable than one without.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dirt &amp; mess<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Is your car dirty and\/or messy?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you answered yes, you\u2019d struggle to sell it for a lot of money. Dirty and messy cars are not attractive in the slightest. Nobody wants to buy a dirty car; why would they? One of the best things about buying a car is the new feeling you have when driving it. When you get inside, you don\u2019t want to feel like someone else has been driving the car for years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It\u2019s such a small thing, yet it makes a bigger difference than the other two points combined. Ensure you spend time\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/2023\/03\/should-people-learn-to-work-on-their-cars-at-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">working on your car<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0before you sell. Give it the deepest clean of its life &#8211; you want it to look and smell as close to new as possible. What do you think will generate more money from a sale: a dirty car or one that\u2019s gleaming inside and out?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-24771\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged-1024x467.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged-1024x467.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged-150x68.png 150w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged-696x318.png 696w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged-1068x487.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged-920x420.png 920w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged-768x350.png 768w, https:\/\/www.edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/bagged.png 1146w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dents<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dents of all sizes will decrease the value of your car. Why? Because it looks like your car is damaged. You might\u2019ve dented the door when opening it against a bollard or accidentally falling when carrying shopping. The dent may be superficial and be absolutely nothing to worry about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Will the buyer know this? You can tell them that it\u2019s okay, but they\u2019ll see a dent and assume your car is damaged. It\u2019s unsightly, but they also worry about safety and reliability. There\u2019s no way of proving the dent isn\u2019t a problem, so you\u2019re stuck haggling with someone who doesn\u2019t want to pay top dollar for a dented vehicle. After all, would you?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Dents are really easy to get rid of. You can have a professional do it, or you can\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Wuu3Gd4Q6Uo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">attempt it yourself at home<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. If the dent truly is small and superficial it can be gone in seconds. Now, you have a nicer-looking car that doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s been in the wars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Look at how small and insignificant these four things are. They\u2019re probably the last things you worry about when valuing your car. Sure, people care about things like the miles on the clock, the age of your car, and the service history. But it\u2019s the small things that can really make a difference. Take care of them and you can sell your car for more money.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying a car is fun, but selling one is far from enjoyable.
