First impressions sell cars
A tidy, scratch-free car reads as 'well looked after' — and people pay more for cars that look cared for. Visible damage, on the other hand, invites hagglers to knock hundreds off 'to sort it out'.
What's worth doing
Kerbed bumpers, obvious door scuffs and scratches through the paint are the ones that cost you at sale time. Fixing them is usually cheap relative to the value they protect.
What isn't
A tiny stone chip on the bonnet edge probably won't move the needle. We'll tell you which repairs actually pay for themselves and which to leave.
A quick once-over
Bring the car in before you list it and we'll give you an honest steer. A small bill now can mean a quicker sale at a better price.
