Planning to sell off your car and want maximum resale price? Here are ten tips to keep in mind to increase your car’s value.

* Take into consideration what kind of car you have. It can help you score a higher value depending on the make, model, year, condition, mileage, and desirability

* Research online using car valuation tolls to get an estimate of what car is worth

* Settle for a minimum price point when you encounter possible buyers who are looking to negotiate

* If selling to a local business, keep in mind that they probably want three to five percent commission from selling your car. So add four to five percent to the final minimum price

* Be sure to have all correct and proper documentation

o Original registration certificate

o Updated insurance policy

o Warranty documents (accessories, batteries, tires, etc.)

Proper documentation increases your resale value.

* Give the new owner of your car the spare keys

* Print out or if already printed, have the service history ready

* Make sure the owner’s manual is in the car

* If your car came with a spare wheel and toolkit to change a tire, be sure the tire and tools are in useable condition

* Do not leave empty any essential fluids; windshield fluid and lubricants. Also, be courtesy and fill the tank up to one-third of it’s capacity.

* Remove all unwanted items; empty bottles, bag, cigarette buds, trash, and anything else.
