Want to sell a car? 5 Things to Increase Your Car's Value. (Part 2)

1. Keep Mileage Low

Another factor that helps maintain the resale value of your car is low mileage . High mileage on a car indicates that the car's components have started to deteriorate due to prolonged use. Even if your car is in excellent condition, once the car's mileage exceeds 100,000 kilometers, the resale value will drop dramatically. If you are thinking of selling your car, the best time to do so is when the mileage reaches around 80,000 to 90,000 kilometers. The lower, the better. On average, drivers in Malaysia are able to travel 28,188 kilometers per year. After this, you may have to reconsider the decision to drive your car if there is a long distance trip.

2. Perform Periodic Maintenance

Another best and easiest way to maintain the resale value of your car is to perform regular maintenance. You just need to follow the prescribed maintenance schedule and make sure that it is done at an authorized service center. Taking proper care of your car can save you money in the long run by avoiding unnecessary repair costs. Accordingly, buyers will also be more inclined to offer a higher price for a car with a good maintenance history.

3. Find Safe Parking

When you want to park, you need to find a suitable and safe place. Ideally, find a shady spot to protect the car's paint from fading due to exposure to hot sunlight and humid conditions when it rains. At the same time, also avoid parking your car under a tree because it will invite dirt such as bird droppings and dry leaves. Get a suitable space to park your car and avoid parking next to large and heavy vehicles because a narrow space may cause damage such as scratches to your car.

4. Modify Moderately

Modifying a car is fun, but if the buyer who wants to buy your car is not interested in the modification you have done, it will have a negative impact on the selling price of your car. Big rims, a turbo kit, or a fancy stereo system may lower your car's selling price, especially if these parts are causing problems for the car. If you are really interested in modifying your car, get accessories that are useful and can increase the selling value of your car in the future such as a modern infotainment system, installation of heat filter film on car windows, and leather seats. Doing too many modifications will also make your car less attractive to buyers, so try to keep the car as original as possible.

5. Always Clean the Exterior

Potential buyers will make an offer based on the external appearance of the car being sold. So, a car that looks clean can attract a higher price! With careful washing, you can take care of the car's color and exterior condition for a long time. If you can afford it, get a ceramic nano layer coating service for better results. Car exterior maintenance on a regular basis can also help maintain the car's color, remove blemishes, and prevent fading.
