Your car is your baby, but have you really been treating it as well as you should? If you’re in the market for a new vehicle or just looking to make your automobile look its best, then you’ve come to the right place! Peoples Bank & Trust Co. offers wonderful ways to boost your car’s value on the inside and out.

Shine Bright

Dull headlights seem to be a recurring problem with cars. Luckily, there are many cheap products you can purchase to make those lights shine bright again. By giving your car a little love, it’ll look years newer. This means you can ask more for your fresh vehicle if you’re looking to sell.

Fancy Floors

Buying new floor mats or paying to have them cleaned can make all the difference in the world. You can also invest in the heavy duty rubber mats, so stains will be a thing of the past. Freshening up your interior will make your ride feel new and improved.

Quick Fixes

Any little issues that can be improved will help heighten your car’s value. Replace a burned out taillight, change the oil, make sure no warning lights are flashing and so on. If you’re looking to sell, this will be a big attraction to the next guy who will feel like no work will have to be done after buying. People are willing to spend more in order to start fresh with no troubles ahead.

New Shoes

Replace your car’s tires to give it the update it needs. Buyers will be willing to pay more if they know they won’t have to be buying new tires right off the bat. The buyer will often expect a significant discount ($300-$700), depending on the model, if the tires are old and worn.

Scratches and Dents

Don’t think fixing a dent or scratch won’t do you any good. Paying a little now to buff out that scratch and pop out the dent will make your car much more valuable. Just one or two dents/scratches can mean the difference of a fair payout or big bucks. A paintless dent repair specialist can usually buff out the issue for a small price, leaving your potential buyer willing to pay more since you’re saving them the headache of going to a body shop.

If you’re looking to make your current car last longer or sell it for top-dollar, use these simple strategies. Giving your baby the attention and love it deserves will help stretch its value higher. If you’re looking to buy, give us a call – we offer great auto loans to help you buy the vehicle you want!
