Get your Charlotte used car ready for its next owner

How? By offering you a great set of tips on how you can prep your Charlotte used car for trade-in OR sale! No matter which method you decide upon, you should get the most bang for your buck. That’s why we’ve compiled this helpful list of information that will assist you in making the most of your car’s curb appeal. Check it out! 

The first thing you can do is ensure you have all of your paperwork handy! You’ll need to hand over your title and keys and provide your driver’s license if you decide to trade in your car at Toyota of N Charlotte, but if you opt to sell privately you’ll need a little bit more documentation. You should provide prospective buyers with: 

  • All maintenance and repair records to show you've been keeping up with routine auto service on your Charlotte used car
  • Any warranties that you might have, such as warranties for a new set of tires or a new battery
  • A CarFax vehicle history report! Any buyer can go seek out this information on their own, but if you provide it to them readily it gives them a bit more peace of mind. 

You should also prep your used car in terms of appearance. Give it a solid washing and then apply wax; you should also shine and polish your tires and wheels to put forward your best face. Additionally, take the time to work on the interior! You need to clean out all of your personal belongings so the new owner can visualize it as their own vehicle. Also, be sure to vacuum the car and wipe down all of the surfaces with a protectant cleaner. 

Finally, make sure your used car in Charlotte is going to deliver in terms of appearance. If you’re due for routine auto service, go ahead and get it taken care of –especially if it’s an oil change or air filter change. If not, then go ahead and top off all of your fluids and ensure they’re clean. You may also want to consider any small repairs that are needed, but be sure to weigh out the cost of fixing anything compared to selling your car as-is!
