Looking to sell your car in the UAE and want to get the best price for it? Did you know that you can bump up your used car’s resale value by up to 20% with a few simple tricks? Follow these cool tips and get the best price in the market for your used car in Dubai.
- Make it Shine: Never underestimate the power of a slick and shiny vehicle especially if you are looking to sell your car in the UAE. When an aspiring buyer takes a look at your used car and sees a clean vehicle inside and out, it gives them the impression that the car has been well-cared for immediately bumping up the resale value of the car.
- Say Goodbye to the Dents: Fix any small dents or car paint scratches to make it look as good as new. Scrubbing and waxing can raise the price by a few hundred dirhams. In some cases, even a new paint job on the car may fetch you more than it costs. Before you put up your used car for sale, consider investing in a complete one-time car care service package from a good servicing company like CarBox or GreenSteam.
- Maintain Records At All Times: Proper repair and maintenance records can immediately bump up the used car resale value. If your car has been in a major accident or crash, include it in the records. Prospective buyers like knowing the exact condition of the car and complete, regular maintenance and repair documentation offers them that satisfaction.
- Extras Go A Long Way: Spend a few dirhams to replace worn-out knobs, buttons, torn leather or other small cabin accessories. Otherwise, it might give the buyer the wrong impression that the car has been ill-kept. Throw in free extras – for example, those new wipers that you recently replaced but can’t fit in your new car, to make the package seem more attractive.
Warranty the Car: If your car is not under warranty, you can easily buy a 3rd-party warranty for AED 1000-2000. It doesn’t cost much and gives a lot of comfort to the buyers.
