 <\/p>\n

<\/span>Are you thinking of part exchanging your car? Before you do, it\u2019s a good idea to <\/span>do your research and look at ways to ensure you get the best price. <\/span><\/p>\n

Car dealers are often blamed for trying to lowball sellers so they can make a lot more profit. However, did you know that a lot of the time, these sellers could have done things to increase the price offered? Here, we\u2019ll look at the top 3 ways to really increase the value of your part exchange vehicle before you take it to the dealership.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. <\/span>Pimp it Up<\/span><\/h2>\n

A great way to add value to a used car is to make a few modifications. Research the different trims and specs of your cars make and model and see which ones are known to add value. For example, if you\u2019ve got a red Ford complete with red wing mirrors, but after researching you discover red Fords with black wing mirrors sell for more money, it\u2019s worth i<\/span>nvesting in black wing mirrors or wrapping them in vinyl to increase its value.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other <\/span>extras known to add value<\/span><\/a> include Sat <\/span>Navs<\/span>, Bluetooth and rear parking sensors. <\/span>On the other hand, extras you\u2019ll want to avoid which can actually damage a cars part exchange value include luxury leather trims, alloy wheels and intricate climate control systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. <\/span>Ensure the MOT and Service is Taken Care Of<\/span><\/h2>\n

A lot of the time, the value offered <\/span>on a used car is significantly reduced purely because the <\/span>seller doesn\u2019t have up-to-date MOT and service information<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s important to make sure you have the correct documents and don\u2019t attempt to part exchange the car right before an MOT is due. <\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of dealers actually insist that the car has had an MOT at least three months prior to selling it.<\/span> The service history documentation is equally as important as it shows the car has been well looked after. Make sure the garage which carried out any repairs and previous services has stamped the logbook too. It\u2019s surprising how much a dealer can take off the price if full documentation isn\u2019t available.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. <\/span>Choose a Reliable Dealer<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you\u2019re thinking of ways to increase a cars part exchange value, it\u2019s not just cosmetic changes and documentation you need to focus on. The dealership you choose will also make a massive difference to the amount you are offered. There\u2019s sadly a lot of dealers who do purposely lowball sellers, so make sure you\u2019re choosing a well-respected company renowned for their reasonable rates on <\/span>part exchange cars<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the above are the top 3 ways to boost the value of your part exchange vehicle. <\/span>Taking the time to research the best specs for your car will really help you to see which extras you can install that will significantly boost value. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
