The amount of effort you spend preparing your car to sell depends on the kind of car you have and how you want to sell it.

The following simple steps can help you sell it quickly and for more money. Use these tips to learn how to sell a car in California.
Collect Your Documentation
You should first gather all your documentation and information to have everything you need when you head to the dealership. Every state has varying requirements but selling a used car in California may take a few extra steps than in some other states. So, what documents do you need to sell your car in California? The following are the forms you wil need to sell your car DDMV transfer forms, smog certification, California certificate of title, odometer reading, and maintenance records. The good news is when you sell your vehicle to DCH Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT of Temecula, we will take care of all the paperwork for you.
Clean Your Vehicle
It is always best to present your vehicle in its best condition by thoroughly cleaning it inside and out. Run it through your local car wash for a wash, and wax and vacuuming the interior could make all the difference in how long it takes to sell it and for how much.
Get an Inspection
Depending on your car's value, you might want to consider getting an inspection by a licensed technician before putting it up for sale, even though the state doesn't require it. A certified inspection report could go a long way in establishing trust with potential buyers and ultimately increase the offer a buyer is willing to make. Also, make a budget and complete any recommended maintenance if it makes sense financially.
If You Can Fix It Up, Do It
Before bringing it to the dealership, it makes sense to make minor repairs such as fixing cheap, minor, or easy flaws, like burned-out lightbulbs, small scratches, or small oil leaks. However, if anything significant is wrong, like engine or transmission problems, it's not worth the time or money to get those fixed. Yes, these problems will lower the value of your vehicles but spending money upfront on fixing them won't add value to the car, and you'll likely spend more than you'd lose.
Save Yourself the Time and Headache
Selling a car yourself is a bit more complicated. You need to handle all the paperwork and comply with all the relevant state regulations on your own. On the other hand, selling a car at a dealership is straightforward. You can sell it for cash or use it as a trade-in towards another vehicle. But in either case, the dealership is the party that manages all the paperwork. All you need to do is sign on the dotted line.
