No matter the make, model, or age, value matters when you’re car shopping. That’s one reason that so many car buyers visit Brown and Wood Buick GMC; from trade-in values for sellers to a diverse selection for buyers, we have you covered. A few fundamental rules apply for buyers and sellers alike when you’re maximizing the value of used cars in Greenville, NC.

KEEP UP WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE

You may find yourself slipping on keeping up your car maintenance as your vehicle gets older. But if you want the most value from your used car, you’ll want to keep up with the maintenance schedule as described in your owner’s manual. A well-maintained vehicle holds its worth for buyers, and helps when you’re getting a car trade-in value too.

GIVE YOUR CAR A THOROUGH CLEANING

Obviously, a used car that looks as brand-new as possible is more likely to sell. Before bringing your car in, you’ll want to clean up your car as thoroughly as possible. Things you’ll want to do include:

  • Vacuuming the inside of your car
  • Removing stains from upholstery
  • Removing odors from the interior
  • Washing the exterior

Bonus: cleaner cars actually get better fuel economy, too.

BUY AND SELL AT THE RIGHT TIME

The spring and summer months are better for car shopping and trading in. Why? More of us are out and about, visiting dealerships. Buyers love the selection, and dealerships will often give you a better trade-in value as they replenish inventory.

Whether you’re buying or selling a used car — or doing both in the same trip — you should visit Brown and Wood Buick GMC today. With a great selection, a knowledgeable staff, and generous trade-in values, you’ll be glad you made us your first stop!
