Replacing worn shocks, struts, wheels, wipers blades, and windshields may help you get a better price for your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shocks and Struts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspension system serves a main purpose: making rides more comfortable. The system absorbs the shocks and energy of driving over bumps using various components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way you can increase your vehicle&rsquo;s ride quality and value is to replace worn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/shock-absorber-and-strut-assembly\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"shocks\">shocks<\/a>. The shocks stop your car from bouncing to keep the tires in contact with the road. Similarly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/shocks-struts-and-components\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"struts\">struts<\/a> support the car&rsquo;s suspension by supporting the spring and aligning the tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing worn or damaged suspension parts will do wonders for your vehicle&rsquo;s resale value. After all, anyone in the market for a second-hand car is likely looking for a comfortable one to ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wheels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Damaged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/wheel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"wheels\">wheels<\/a> significantly affect your car&rsquo;s value and could even turn potential buyers off. For one, it may signify the vehicle isn&rsquo;t properly maintained, regardless of how much you took care of other components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, damaged wheels can lead to tire damage, wheel misalignment, and other issues that can negatively affect safety and performance. Similarly, it can decrease fuel efficiency, which could be a big turn-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Windshield<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Driving with a cracked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/windshield\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"windshield\">windshield<\/a> is illegal in states like California. Visible cracks on the glass surface may diminish your car&rsquo;s value. Consider replacing the damaged windshield to get a better price on your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/headlights-and-lighting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Lights\">Lights<\/a> play a crucial role in safety. Aside from giving you a clear view of the road, they&rsquo;re also used to communicate with other drivers when making turns, stops, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dim or inoperative bulbs lead to poor visibility at night and in harsh weather conditions. As such, it&rsquo;s best to replace inoperative automotive lights before selling your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wiper Blades<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Replacing a worn or old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/wiper-blade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"wiper blade\">wiper blade<\/a> shows you took care of your car and didn&rsquo;t let anything go by during checkups and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Maximizing Your Vehicle&rsquo;s Resale Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, replacing worn components is crucial to increase your car&rsquo;s value. However, there are other ways you could do so. Some include knowing your vehicle&rsquo;s initial value, fixing mechanical issues, and cleaning your car, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know Your Vehicle&rsquo;s Value<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s hard to increase the value if you don&rsquo;t know how much it&rsquo;s valued. Knowing your car&rsquo;s value should be a top priority if you plan to resell. To do so, use trusted sources like Kelley Blue Book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be honest about your car&rsquo;s condition to get an accurate computation. Also, note that trading in your vehicle will net you less money than selling it on your own since dealers need to make a profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Think Carefully About Customizations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some customizations will make the vehicle harder to sell than if you were to keep the vehicle in really good shape. Wheels, for example, if chosen poorly, can cause a person who might have bought the vehicle to decide not to. Turning the vehicle into a low rider or having the suspension modded so that the front of the vehicle is a lot higher than the rear won&rsquo;t increase your chances of selling it and won&rsquo;t increase the value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine yourself looking at two Camaros, for example. One has been heavily modified in very visible ways inside and out and another that is OEM throughout. Both are the same price with the same number of miles on the odometer. Which one would you choose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fix Mechanical Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important factors determining a vehicle&rsquo;s value is its condition. A car with mechanical problems won&rsquo;t sell more than one that&rsquo;s properly maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Repairing mechanical trouble goes a long way in increasing the resale value of your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fixing minor issues should prove cost-effective once you resell. Research the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database for any vehicle recalls affecting your car, as some can be fixed for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"pro-tip-widget\">\n\n    <div class=\"pro-tip-item\">\n        <figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/f_auto,dpr_auto,q_auto,c_pad\/carparts\/blog\/widgets\/protip\/services-icon\" alt=\", P0442 Code: Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Small Leak)\" class=\"kb-img\"><\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"protip-desc\">\n        <div class=\"help-tip\">\n        <p><strong>Pro Tips<\/strong> are nuggets of information direct from ASE-certified automobile technicians working with CarParts.com, which may include unique, personal insights based on their years of experience working in the automotive industry.

You can put a $1,000 engine in a $500 car and then you&rsquo;ll have a $600 car. You won&rsquo;t always recover the cost of repairs you do that way.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clean Your Vehicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your vehicle clean is also part of maintaining its value. <a href=\"https:\/\/carparts.com\/blog\/how-to-clean-disinfect-your-car-interior\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Cleaning it inside\">Cleaning it inside<\/a> and out shows you care for your car, significantly increasing its value. It will also give them the impression that you&rsquo;re an owner who has taken good care of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get a Paint Job<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, getting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/changing-car-colors-things-to-consider-methods-and-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"paint job\">paint job<\/a> should increase value because your vehicle will look pristine and brand new (but again, this might make the car sell better but you may not recover the money you spent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, it&rsquo;s not advisable to change car colors since you&rsquo;ll have to jump through hoops to have it approved, and it can add to the overall cost. Generally, a re-touch to fix blemishes should do the job.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 4<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>Did you know your car may have lost its value by up to 50% over the first three years?
