The reality is, first impressions matter. A vehicle’s worth can greatly increase if the buyer thinks its previous owner took care of it. It also gives the buyer or dealer peace of mind knowing that they won’t have to clean up someone else’s mess after purchasing your vehicle.

You may know your car, truck, or SUV is in great condition, but potential buyers could get the wrong impression if the exterior or interior of your vehicle has noticeable flaws. A few scuffs on the paint job or stains on the seat may not send the right message, and they could even make your vehicle appear to be worth less than it actually is.
