An appraiser has a few minutes to judge your car. These five steps make those minutes count.
1. Gather your service records
A folder of oil changes and repairs shows the car has been looked after.
2. Fix the small things
Replace blown bulbs, worn wipers and missing caps. They cost little and remove easy deductions.
3. Get it detailed
A clean interior and polished paint make a stronger first impression than any sales pitch.
4. Bring both keys
A missing key fob can cost more than you expect.
5. Know your payoff
If you still owe on the car, bring your lender details. We can pay off the loan for you.
