To help you, we have compiled a list of the top five things you should pay attention to after you decide to sell your car.

 Fix mechanical problems and get historical reports

Before you sell your car, make sure you get rid of any mechanical/technical issues. An easy way is to repair your vehicle. If your service manager recommends replacing certain parts and parts, please feel free to spend money. You should look at this exercise from an investment perspective, not a cost perspective. 

Remember that potential buyers are obligated to notice any inconsistencies in your car (and even more so if the problem is a mechanical problem), so it is important for you to resolve all problems before selling. Now we consider the second case, that is, the cost of repair is high, and you think it is impossible to spend money on repairs.

In this case, you should estimate the cost and then evaluate the repair cost of the potential buyer during the transaction negotiation. In addition, we also recommend that you keep the maintenance report/historical record of the vehicle at hand because this document will strengthen your qualifications as a car-loving person. In turn, this will help you buy a used car at a favorable price.

Car Mania

Perfect appearance of scratch repair and dent removal

If you sell a used car, the phrase “the first impression is the last impression” certainly applies. The appearance of your car makes the first impression, and you can’t destroy it. In order to get a positive response from buyers, please make sure that your car does not have any obvious scratches or dents. It won’t cost you too much to fix these external damages. We believe that you can repair all these dents and dents within a budget of Rs 5,700. Again, look at this cost from an investment perspective, because the amount you spend on the body can easily be redeemed at a higher vehicle resale value.

 Even in some cases involving minor scratches and abrasions on the body, you don’t need to go to a body care shop because they can be removed at home by applying toothpaste on the surface. Just clean the surface of the dent and scrape, then gently scrub with a small amount of toothpaste-you’re done. However, to repair deeper scratches, the car must be sent to a repair station.

Interior, spare tire, and instrument panel

Like the exterior design, it should also make you feel fresh and elegant in the car. Ensure that the interior decoration is not dirty, and pay special attention to cleaning the floor mats. The plastic of the dashboard is also easy to lose its luster, so it is worth investing in professional car service to inject new vitality into the interior. Remember that potential buyers will value your car as much as possible, so investing in refurbished interiors will definitely help you sell your car at a high price.

Another key area that most of us don’t pay attention to is the condition of the spare tire and the dashboard. Both of these are crucial, and knowledgeable buyers will always check the condition of the spare tire and the dashboard to assess how the car owner maintains the vehicle. Regular maintenance of the spare tire and having a complete tool kit will increase the overall value of your vehicle, so you should pay equal attention to these components.

Obtain complete documentation

Before selling the car, all documents must be prepared. Some important documents required for sales include a registration certificate, valid insurance, pollution control certificate, form 29, form 30, and proof of address. If you sell vehicles between states, you also need a non-objection certificate (NOC) from the RTO. Also clearly state your vehicle details, such as registration number, model year, engine number, chassis number, color, etc. In the sales agreement. The payment details, total amount payable and payment method must also be mentioned in the sales contract.

 Buyer’s certificate and RC transfer

Before proceeding with the transaction, it is recommended to check the credentials of the potential buyer. This step is very important to avoid selling the car to the wrong person. This step may have an impact on future safety. Make sure you deal directly with this person and not negotiate with your agent. After the transaction is completed, the next important step is the transfer of ownership, which should be completed as soon as possible. It only happens when the vehicle registration certificate receives the name of the new owner; you should consider the entire transaction and relax.
