...maximizing the selling price of my ? I am planning to sell my Toyota Corolla; somebody can give me some tips on maximizing the selling price of my used car?
 
Hi first of all, you need to start from the inside. Make sure all the plastics such as the dashboard or the steering wheel are clean and polished.

Then hoover the whole car and make sure there are no crums etc on the floor or the seats. Also make sure the windows are clean from the inside before washing them from the outside.

Wash your car from the outside not more than 2 days before the buyer will see it, that way it will not get too dirty.

Make sure you invest in a polishing wax, you have more chance in selling the car when it's fresh, clean and sparkly.

Also make sure your alloys are clean. If they are the plastic type and have a lot of dents in them buy new ones, it will pay off.

Open the hood and clean out the excessive dirt and oil from the engine area.

I hope this helps.
Good Luck
 
First step of maximising the selling price of your used car you need knowing how much it's worth.

Look at other adverts in the publications at online car trading website you're advertising in so you don't stick out like a sore thumb with a particularly high or low asking price.

If your car is in a extraordinary good condition, furthermore, has covered fewer miles than average,your car is worth more. Use mileage-adjustment tables to work out how much you should be adding on to its price.

Whereas, a more-than-average mileage means you have to deduct some price from the asking price if you want to get people interested in your used car.Be honest with yourself about the condition of your car.

If you car has some flaws, you'll have to adjust the price accordingly if you don't want buyers to walk away as soon as they see it.

If you're lucky enough to have a highly desirable auto model that other prospects are clamouring to buy, you are able to sell it to them for more than the list price so they can jump the waiting list. A quick search of the internet should pull up some sample prices, while the classified section in Autocar trading website also carries adverts for these kinds of cars every week.
