When it is time to put your once well-loved car up for sale, you may be tempted to give it a once-over with a vacuum and a bucket of soapy water. If you want to easily attract offers at the right price, a pre-sale detail before you part ways can be imperative to success.

There are three ways that a pre-sale car detail can improve your chances of making a sale at the right profit. Underlying all of them is the indisputable fact that humans are highly visual creatures; especially in this aesthetic is everything world, so first impressions count.

1. Increase Confidence for Buyers & Reduce Purchase Anxiety

Whichever way you choose to sell your car, if the first impression for potential buyers is that it is an unmaintained car, they are far less likely to assume that everything on the inside is in pristine working order. In turn, and not unexpectedly, this can drive down the value, or at the very least welcome, some unsavoury low-ball offers.

And remember, just because someone is buying a used car it doesn’t mean that they will welcome seats covered in dog hair, footwells that are caked in dirt and crumbs and smeared windows. A professional pre-sale detail can get your car as close to off-the-forecourt-fresh as possible.

2. You Will Make Your Car Look More Modern

Not everyone loves vintage cars. So while some buyers will be comfortable buying a used car, they won’t feel all too happy about buying a dated car. With a professional detail, which will leave your car polished, waxed and pristine, you will have the chance to draw in the eyes of more buyers looking for an Instagram-worthy purchase.

Without investing in a professional car detailing service, you could be waiting far longer for a sale, and the longer the car is up for sale, the more the value depreciates over time. In the long run, a pre-sale detail could, and often do, pay for itself when it comes to the final sale.

3. Increase the Sale Price

The popularity of pre-sale car detailing services speaks volumes about their effectiveness. It is now a vital part of the booming used car industry across the Central Coast, and for good reason. It is the number 1 cost-effective way to increase the value of your car; by leaving the interior and the exterior looking brand-new without needing to pay for new parts.

For the interior, the dashboard, carpets, mats and seats will be cleaned and polished. For the exterior, any defects to the paintwork, such as dings and scrapes, will be taken care of before everything is waxed and polished to a pristine standard. Each of those dings left unattended can lead to $$ being knocked off the final sale price.
