Planning to sell your current Ford vehicle?

You better read Consumer Reports' advice first on how you can make your vehicle an attractive sell before you slap that “For Sale” sign on your car window.

Whether you trade in your current vehicle or sell it yourself, making it look as good as possible can pay big dividends by improving both its value and sales appeal.

According to Consumer Reports, depending on the vehicle's condition, you can do a lot or all of the work yourself. Alternatively, you can take your vehicle to a professional detailer, where prices can start around $100 but can go rapidly up, depending on the region, type of vehicle, and the amount of work to be done. As with other do-it-yourself projects, the more elbow grease you invest, the less you'll need to pay someone else to do it. Here the things you should pay serious attention to before you sell:

1. Outside appearance
2. Dent removal
3. Fixing window glass
4. The inside dirt
5. Under the hood
6. Minor and major repairs

Fixing and replacing broken or missing items is an important step you must make to ensure that you get a good deal for your vehicle. A missing hub cap or a broken mirror will suggest to the buyer that your Ford vehicle has not been well maintained and that other repairs will probably be needed.
