If you are trying to sell your car, you want to do everything you can to make it sell faster and to make sure you get your top asking price. There are several things that you can do that will help you to get the best possible price for your used car. 

Clean It Up

No one wants to buy your car and get your old petrified french fries as a bonus buy. One of the best things that you can do to help your car sell faster and for more money is to get it all nice and clean, inside and out. That means a very thorough wash and wax for the outside, and just as thorough a clean for the inside. When you are cleaning the inside, make sure that you get down in between the seat cushions and under the seats. Wash off and polish all the plastic bits like your dashboards and clean all the mirrors. Taking it to an auto detailer like Detail Lex to get everything done might be a good idea. The shop will have a team who can all work on your car at the same time. They will also have a checklist of things to do in order to make sure that everything gets done. Your car may end up cleaner than you have ever seen it before. 

Replace the Bits and Pieces

You also want to make sure that you replace all the little bits and bobs that are part of the finishing details of any car. That includes things like knobs and buttons for your radio, heater, etc. If they are missing or broken, that can turn buyers off. You should also make sure that you replace your hubcaps if they are missing. You may not think that all those things are really that important or that people are going to really notice them, but missing or broken pieces are noticeable, at least subconsciously, when someone looks at your car. The eye expects for something to look a certain way, and a cracked hubcap or missing cigarette lighter will make a person wonder what else is missing or broken. 

If you want to make sure that your car can get sold as quickly as possible and for the amount of money you want, you need to make sure that you do whatever you can to draw a buyer's eye. You want them to look at your car first and fall in love with it.
