6. Incomplete Service/Maintenance Records
Keeping records of your maintenance is one of the important steps in selling your car. The first thing that a wise potential buyer will ask for is the service records. If you have maintained your car correctly then you should have service records dating back to when you first bought the car. These records should consist of everything from a simple oil change to major work. Let’s say you had to have the transmission replaced. Good service records will show this.
Your service records will also be a positive selling point. Potential buyers will have a piece of mind with getting the service records. If you have purchased a car that doesn’t have well-kept service records, you should still keep your own from that day on. You can show potential buyers that you took initiative to take care of the care. If you want to get a fair price for your car, the right service records will make a difference.
