Ensure you can find all the paperwork and documents, including the V5C registration document and current MoT certificate. Check that all of the details on the paperwork and documents are correct, and get them corrected if necessary. An auto with all of the proper paperwork is more likely to be thought of as legal by a potential buyer and they are going to feel that they’re assured of a hassle free purchasing process.
Make sure that your car’s service history is current. If you have missing services stamps or have lost the service book, speak with your garage about filling in the blanks for you or providing you with copies of the bills that prove the car has been correctly serviced. Your car will worth more if the service history is up to date.
Find all the sets of keys, including the central locking remotes. Most cars have a master remote tell the buyer that you have it and show them which one it is when you sell the car. Remote controls and keys are really pricey and complicated to replace, so some purchasers are put off when a remote or set of keys is missing. It is worth your while hunting out the spares.
If the auto-mobile has any defects or faults find out the price of getting them put right before you try to sell your car. Some faults can be put right at little cost and will add value to your vehicle. For example if you have a chip on your wind-shield you could get it mended for free using your insurance policy cover.
A clean car looks a lot better, so it is worth cleaning your car thoroughly. A dealer will not be put off by a little dirt, but a private buyer probably will be. If your car is filthy and a dealer thinks they will have to pay to have it valeted even they will pay you less for it.
