It’s hard to say goodbye to your old faithful car that has taken you to many places, reliably commuted you to work back and forth on a daily basis and has taken you to destinations that have created lifelong memories.

And when it comes time to selling your faithful old car that has become part of the family, of course, you’re are going to want to get the best price. There a few things that need to be addressed when selling your vehicle, so you can get the best bang for your buck. In this post, we will go through a bit of checklist that you check off as you go so you know that your car is ready for sale.

 

Mechanically Sound

When your car is up for sale you want it to be mechanically sound. You will need to get a roadworthy certificate which involves taking it to a mechanic that is licenced to perform road worthies. Be warned they will inspect your car with a fine-tooth comb, making sure everything from the indicators to the seat belts are in working in order to ensure that your car is safe for use on the road.

If your car has some minor defects that are in need of repair that you have been putting off due to lack of time, now is the time to do it. If they are minor mechanical problems, you may be able to do them yourself and cut back on costs

A smoothly running vehicle will obviously sell easily. So if your car has a few squeaks clunks or starting issues sort them out before you put it on the market so that when potential buyers arrive the engine turns over the first try and purrs like a kitten.
