If you own a per-owned vehicles you want to do what you can to lengthen its lifespan. If you're planning on eventually reselling it you should take special care to keep the interior and exterior in good condition.
Aside from thinking about the potential for resale, it's good to keep your car in good condition for your own enjoyment. Here's some more information about keeping your car looking its best.
The first rule is to handle your car with care. Always use touchless car washes if possible. Avoid using automatic car washes with brushes. The brushes can be hard on your paint finish. Wash it yourself if you can and use clean sponges that are free from debris. Be sure to keep your car free from scratches. Scratches will ruin your paint job and make your care look shabby. Another good idea is to store your vehicle under cover. It will protect its exterior. A garage or car port is best. If you regularly park your car outdoors it will be exposed to the elements and face damage from the sun, hail and snow. Do your best to keep your car waxed. A good coat of wax will help possible contaminants to slide right off the finish. It makes it hard for bugs, reside and dirt to adhere to your finish. It will also make your car better protected against sun damage.
If you can afford it, get your car detailed periodically. Treat your car with care. Some people recommend getting a car detailed once every few months with special attention paid to leather dashboards, seats, carpeting and other special features. Whether new or used, your car is your ride and represents you. Take good care of it inside and out and you won't regret it. It will look better and last long the more attention you give it.
