Cracking the Car Code: What to Look for When Buying or Selling Your Ride

Ever felt like you’re about to unlock a treasure chest but aren’t quite sure if it’s full of gold or…well, something less shiny? Buying or selling a car can feel like that, but we’re here to make sure you always find the gold!

When it comes to buying or selling a car, the condition and history are the secret sauce that makes all the difference. Mileage, service history, past accidents, and repairs—these are the juicy details that can make or break a deal. Here’s your guide to decoding car history and condition, making you the Sherlock Holmes of used car deals.

For Buyers: How to Snag the Perfect Ride

1. Check the Mileage: Think of mileage as your car’s CV. Lower mileage generally means less wear and tear. But remember, it’s not just about the numbers—consider the car’s age and how it was used.

Peach Tip: Always ask for service records. A well-maintained car with higher mileage can be a better bet than a low-mileage car that’s been neglected.

2. Service History: This is like peeking into the car’s diary. Regular servicing means the car’s been loved and cared for and is likely to be more reliable. Look for consistent records showing oil changes, brake checks, and other routine maintenance.

Peach Tip: Look for a pattern in the records. Gaps could indicate the car was off the road or not maintained properly.

3. Accident and Repair History: Past accidents can affect the car’s performance and value. Our comprehensive 288-point inspection service provides an in-depth analysis of the vehicle’s condition, covering everything from the engine to the electronics.

Peach Tip: Don’t shy away from asking direct questions about any past damage. If something feels off, trust your gut.

For Sellers: Getting Your Car Ready for the Spotlight

1. Spruce It Up:  First impressions matter! Clean your car inside and out, fix minor issues, and make it look as presentable as possible.

Peach Tip: A professional detailing job can boost your car’s appeal and resale value. It’s worth the investment!

2. Gather Your Documents: Having all your paperwork ready, from service records to the logbook, builds trust with potential buyers.

Peach Tip: Highlight the positive aspects in your car’s history. If it’s been serviced regularly or has new tires, make sure to mention it.

3. Be Transparent: Honesty is the best policy. Disclose any known issues upfront to avoid surprises later.

Peach Tip: Use our 288-point inspection to get a comprehensive report on your car’s condition. It’s a Peach perk that buyers love and trust!
