How Rust Effects Your Vehicles Resale Value
Selling Your Car? Rust Might Be Killing the Price
When it comes to selling your car, you might already have a price in mind, but if rust is part of the equation, be prepared for a serious hit to your resale value.
A Consumer Report survey based on vehicle purchasing behaviour highlights that over 60% of used car buyers say visible rust is a deal-breaker when purchasing. Highlighting just how much rust can impact buyer perception and trust.
So, How Much Is Rust Really Going To Cost You?
- It Reduces Buyer Confidence
Visible rust instantly lowers a buyer's confidence in the overall condition of your vehicle. Even if the engine runs perfectly, a rusty exterior or underbody suggests poor maintenance or potential future repair costs.
- It Signals Potential Structural Issues
Rust isn’t just about appearances. Once it reaches structural parts like the chassis, suspension mounts, or brake lines, it can compromise safety. This makes the car less desirable and could even result in a failed MOT or inspection.
- It Can Lead To Significant Repair Costs
Buyers factor in the cost of rust repair or part replacements when negotiating a price. If rust damage is extensive, expect significantly lower offers, or no offers at all.
