5 Tips to Get the Most Money When Selling Your Car in Palestine, TX

Thinking about selling your car in Palestine, TX? At Rutledge Auto Group, we make it fast and easy — but before you sell, here are 5 pro tips to help you maximize your car’s value.

1. Gather Your Paperwork

Have your title, service records, and loan info (if applicable) ready. Buyers pay more when they see proof of proper maintenance.

2. Clean & Detail Your Vehicle

First impressions matter. A washed and vacuumed car can boost your offer. Small fixes like replacing wiper blades or light bulbs also help.

3. Know Your Vehicle’s Market Value

Do some quick research on Kelley Blue Book or NADA Guides. At Rutledge Auto Group, we’ll give you a free, no-obligation appraisal based on fair market value.

4. Fix the Simple Stuff

Minor repairs (like a cracked windshield wiper or low tire pressure) can make a difference. Save the big repairs — we’ll still buy your car as-is.

5. Sell to a Trusted Local Dealer

Skip the hassle of online listings, strangers, and endless messages. At Rutledge Auto Group, we buy cars the same day — and you’ll leave with cash in hand.
