How Can I sell My Car for More?
Something we would all like to know…how can I get more money when I sell my car?
Should you do those niggling little jobs, should you get the service done that is due?
The obvious answer would be yes, but this may not necessarily be true in some circumstances.
Should I get my car serviced before I sell it?
Cars will always sell for a higher price if the service history is complete, if you have full main dealer service history than your car should be worth a little but more than a car with independent service history. This is especially true if you own one of the more prestige brands such as Audi, BMW & Mercedes and a given if you are fortunate enough to own a Rolls Royce, Bentley, Ferrari or one other the true luxury car Marques.
Will servicing your car help you sell it for more?
A car without any service history or very little history is worth substantially less than a car with full service history.
But the question was, should I get my car serviced before I sell it? It truly depends on who you are selling it to. If you are trying to sell your car privately then it is probably worth the additional expense if it means you can advertise your car for sale with full service history. But when you consider a service can cost anywhere between £50 and £250 plus, depending on the make, model, type of service and whether or not you are using a main dealer to service the car. You will need to consider whether or not this means you can ask £200 more for the car or will it save you from reducing the offer by that amount when the seller sees a service is due.
If truth be told, it will probably mean you will get nearer to your asking price than you would if the service was overdue. It will also help make achieving a sale easier, making your car more desirable than others with less service history, considering everything it is money worth spending to help you get the maximum price for your car when selling privately.
Where I would argue it may not be a good investment is if you are selling to a dealer or a cash for car company. If your car has full service history and is due one before you sell it or within a couple of weeks of the sale and you are selling to a dealer then you should use this as a negotiating tool, i.e. you will service the car if they agree to increase their offer. In many instance these companies have their own service departments and a service will cost them much less then it would cost you. They may turn to you and say they can offer you £50 or £100 less for your car as it is due a service, it makes sense to accept this reduced offer if it is going to cost you £150 to service your car.

When you sell your car to Car Arena you don’t have to wait four days for your money, you don’t even have to wait 24 hours.
When we come to collect your car, you are paid in full by secure bank transfer. This normally takes around 15 to 20 minutes. Our collection drivers wait with you until you are able to confirm that the cleared funds are in your bank account. There’s no additional charge for this, it’s your money and we believe you should have it before you release the car to us.
If finance is outstanding, we clear this in full, sending the receipt and any the balance to you before you release the car.
If there is a shortfall between what you are selling your car for and how much is owed on the finance, we take the shortfall by credit or debit card and then clear your finance in full. Again we send you proof that the payment has been made to your finance company.
There’s absolutely no risk when selling your car to Car Arena.
