Car seller advice from the Quality Car Experts, getWorth
If you’re selling your car, and it’s got some scuffs, chips and dents, should you fix it before selling?
According to the car buyers at getWorth, it’s not worth it.
Most buyers will do an inspection and factor the condition into the price that they pay.
Then the dealer will bring the car up to showroom condition. But they have relationships, so can normally get the work done at a lower price.
So you might actually spend more on repairs than the difference it would make to the price; plus you have to go through the trouble and inconvenience.
Quality is also a factor – the worst of all would be if your repairer does a poor job and the dealer has to repeat the work.
If your car is out of plan, should you keep servicing it?
Absolutely yes, according to the people at getWorth. Services are there to keep your car running smoothly. If you miss them you risk reducing the mechanical reliability of your car.
For the same reason, it can also affect the price you get for your car when you sell it.
If you are driving very little mileage and you miss an annual service, make sure you still hit your mileage services (normally every 10,000 to 15,000km).
Buying or selling a car is a big deal and sellers should be rewarded for looking after their cars, as this increases the quality and safety of used cars in the market.
GetWorth has therefore created a product specifically designed to help the consumer sell smart. getMore is a first-of-its-kind product for car sellers. It pays an upfront cash amount when the seller sells their car to the company.
GetWorth then market the car at a realistic price that the seller has specified in their contract. When the vehicle sells, they pay the seller a bonus amount – which is the difference between the actual selling price, the upfront cash amount already paid to the seller with fees and all necessary reconditioning costs.
One of the biggest challenges in this industry is to determine a realistic value for a car.
GetWorth offers an innovative solution for motorists looking to sell their vehicle. Their tech uses a variety of factors, including economic indicators, repo rate and inflation, to help them accurately predict values on a retail and trade level.
All their offers are based on live market data, not generic or assumed values. This means clients are receiving fair value based on what the market has to offer.
More importantly, getWorth focuses on quality vehicles and that is integral to both the buying and selling process.
