Detail your car
Wipe, clean and vacuum every nook and cranny. If your car looks and feels like new inside it could add $1,000 to the resale value!
Use old-fashioned ads!
Classifieds are an old standby, but they work! Place an ad in your local paper, and try free ads at websites.
Find a company that buys used cars
Companies that buy used cars as opposed to accepting "trade-ins" typically pay $1,000 or more than a dealer's trade-in offer.
Have your paperwork handy!
Collect your service and maintenance records. "Even if you can't find all the paperwork, having some of it available shows the buyer you made an effort to maintain the vehicle."
Put it up for auction!
eBay's auto auction site has recently seen a 24% increase in listings. "If you can get two people in a bidding war on your car, you can just sit back and watch the price go up!"
