A lot of factors have to be taken into consideration before we decide on which car to buy. From budget to brand to fuel efficiency, every factor plays a vital role. One such factor that a lot of people look at is the resale value of the car that they are buying. A majority of us often end up changing our car after a couple of years, and that is when the resale value factor comes to the foreground.
Though it's hard to say goodbye to something that you have cherished over the years, this is an inevitable step where you have to let go of your existing car and make space for a new one. While trying to sell your car, you would notice that there are a number of factors that determine the resale value of your car. Depending upon the kind of work you have done on the interiors and exterior, the resale value of the car would be determined. Hence, it is important for you to avoid things that would reduce the resale value.In this post, we would be discussing one of the factor
s that can decrease your car’s resale value with a huge margin. Stickers! Yes, since stickers or labels come under the visibility aspect, it can easily make or break the deal.
Most of the buyers pay extra attention to how a car looks from the exterior. While dents and scratches are expected, stickers are something that not everybody lo
ves as interests might differ. So, a sticker of your favourite political party can lead to a decrease in the value of your car.
Similarly, your company sticker, baby on board signs, license plate frames, bumper stickers, name stickers; all of these might look great, but at the time of reselling your car, they would just be a point of contention. Since finding a buyer who has the same interests like you is next to impossible, you would have to look at other options.
As mentioned earlier, stickers are just one factor that can negatively impact the resale value of your car. There are a number of other factors such as interior condition, technology, brand, maintenance, etc., which would help in deciding the car’s resale value. Just remember that any changes/modifications that would enhance your car’s look and performance would result in a higher resale value while anything that diminishes would give you a lower resale value.
