Keep Up with Maintenance

A well-maintained luxury vehicle will retain more of its value than a neglected one. Staying on top of oil changes, brake service, and more will go a long way in getting you the best trade-in. The good news is that maintenance is a no-brainer with INFINITI Premium Care, a prepaid maintenance package included with all new INFINITI models. You get the best service by an INFINITI dealer using only genuine INFINITI parts, all performed by factory-trained technicians.

Track Maintenance Records

To show a potential buyer that you’ve kept up with maintenance, it can help to keep detailed records of each time you service your vehicle. Whether you keep a notebook or take your vehicle to a dealership service department, keep note of each time your vehicle is serviced.

Keep It Clean

Along with maintenance, a car that retains its value is clean and well-kept. Regularly clean inside and outside, including vacuuming the carpet, wiping down the dash, and washing and waxing the outside helps things look good as new. Plus, a car that looks good sends the message to buyers that you put a lot of thought and effort into caring for the vehicle. You might consider protection products to keep things looking great between washes and to protect the interior surfaces.
