driving impression and ought to be done anyway. Don’t Overlook A noisy muffler or a missing engine, things you may have been planning to take care of, can make the big difference between sale and no sale. Especially if your prospect has been shopping good cars in your price range. Maybfe you have become accustomer to compensating for slightly loose steering or slightly grabbing brakes.

One service found successful by reputable used car dealers is a lube job and oil change. A clean, new sticker on the door jamb gives the buyer increased confidence in the car and the person selling it. The cost is peanuts. This is not to say you should go overboard in fixing up to sell.

You can take care of this yourself with special upholstery cleaners available at your auto supply store. And a professional vacuuming at your service station will help matters considerably. With everything up to snuff, you ought to be able to sell the car much more quickly than if you had not invested a little money and some of your own time in it. In fact, you might decide to keep it. SIGNAL LANE CHANGES Motorists usually signal their intention to turn. But many forget they should also signal their intentions to change lanes. Every turn should be advertised in advance. And when changing lanes, first make sure no car is cruising along in your blind spot.
