Auto expert named a way to sell a car more expensive

Nikita Rodionov, Technical director of the FIT SERVICE car service network, spoke about ways to sell a car at a high price.

In conversation with Lenta.Ru On Thursday, August 14, the expert noted that summer is traditionally considered a time of increased demand for used cars.

He advised that when selling a car, look at it through the eyes of the buyer and prepare a service history. Replacing large parts and repairing key systems on cars older than 10 years will be a plus, Rodionov added.

Before the transaction, he recommends that the car be diagnosed: minor malfunctions can be left to the new owner, and serious ones can be eliminated. This will help you find out the real condition of the car and negotiate confidently.

According to the expert, mileage is not so important for older cars, and its underestimation is easily detected by the operation reports that buyers are increasingly requesting.

Rodionov urged not to wash the under-hood space before the sale, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion. The body, on the contrary, should be put in order, and the interior and trunk should be cleaned. It is better to tell about serious accidents and show which parts have been replaced or painted.
