Whether it’s improving the performance or adding a nodding dog to the dashboard, we all love to put a stamp on our car. The only thing about modifying a car from its original specification is that you begin to worry about how tricky it might be to sell your car when the time comes.
If you’ve put your own stamp on your car but are now worried about how that will affect its resale, don’t worry, we’re going to help you put your mind at ease.
What is the best way to sell my modified car?
Perhaps you’re looking to upgrade your car now that you’re done modifying it but you’re worried you might not be able to find a buyer for it. We’ll be honest, by modifying your car you are just slightly reducing your buyer base. It depends on how drastic the changes are that you’ve made to your vehicle.
If it’s anything major, then you should probably assume that you’re not going to find too many dealers for it and that selling it privately might be the better option. Whatever the deal is with your car modifications, it shouldn’t be too much of a big problem trying to sell it. Not when you have people like us!
Here at Jamjar.com, we provide a quick and easy service that allows you to be able to sell any car to us. Yes, you heard right, any car. So whether you’ve modified it or not, or if you want to sell it or scrap it, we’ll take it off your hands for you. So long as you’ve listed all of your vehicle modifications, even if they aren’t visible, dealers will be able to decide whether it’s worth the risk on a car that’s a little different from the norm.
What counts as a car modification?
- installing a sunroof
- using body kits
- alloy wheels
- changes to upholstery or hardware
- paint jobs or addition of stripes and badges
You might find that some modifications you do will be only temporary but can actually be quite tricky to remove. If you think tactically about any modifications you want beforehand, then you could think about how easy it would be to revert back. You never know, by doing this might make you think twice before doing any major changes to your car.
Things to think about before modifying
It’s time to get your thinking cap on and ask yourself, what else would be affected if I modify my car? The answer is, modifying your car can affect a number of these different things:
Insurance: your car insurance is definitely up there on the things you need to think about when modifying your car. When it comes to letting your car insurance company know what car you have, 9 times out of 10 they will assume you have just the standard model.However, if you have modified your car, then now is the time to let them know. If you don’t, then you could be setting yourself up to fall.
Warranty: all cars come with a warrant and some even with a service plan these days too. With modifications, there is a risk you might void the manufacturer’s warranties and service plans. Your right, this doesn’t sound too healthy. So if the modified car is quite new and under warranty, your warranty could be useless and any value in the warranty voided. It’s scary, but true and want to make sure you’re fully informed.
Safety: the most important one of them all, don’t you reckon? If you were to sell your car, can the buyer be truly sure that your car is safe? If it has modifications on it, is it a botched job? If there are any issues with the car, then you need to maybe accept that you might not get what you want for it.
