What Determines My Car’s Value?
Determining how much a used car is worth relies on many different factors. Of all these aspects, there are three that play a major role:
- Make/Model
- Model Year
- Mileage
These “3 M’s” determine the bulk of a vehicle’s appraisal worth. They tell the story of your car in a broad sense.
First, the make and model of your car describes who made it and which type of vehicle it is. Models that are rare or sought after by enthusiasts are especially in demand and will fetch a higher sale price.
Second, the model year tells potential buyers the age of your vehicle. More recent cars will have lots of life in them that’s waiting to be unleashed. These younger models will draw the attention of more buyers.
Finally, the mileage lets others know how much distance the car has covered. Just like a younger car is sought after, models with low mileage are always in demand as it shows the car is ready for many more adventures.
How to Boost My Car’s Value
Alongside the 3 M’s, there are other parts of your car that determine its sale value. These are just some ways you can add to the appraisal of your vehicle.
First, keep a detailed record of any service performed on your vehicle. It tells other drivers the history of the car, so they get a better idea of its past. You can also have routine maintenance performed right before sale, which saves the dealership the time and effort, thus increasing your offer.
Second, you can take your ride to a car detailer. Detailers perform an intense and deep clean of your car inside and out. It will give your ride that like-new sheen to it that draws the eye of potential buyers.
