I saw this article on MSN.com about selling a used vehicle... note the section I bolded in red....

2. Don’t show a dirty car.

It may sound obvious, but a clean car is easier to sell than a dirty one. The logic is simple: People like buying new things, and few people want someone else's lived-in, worn-out garbage. We're not just talking a simple wash and wax here, either. Go for the works: paint cleaning and polishing, interior shampooing, the works. If you do it yourself, it's free — that is, pure profit — and if you pay someone, it's rarely more than $100. Either way, presenting a clean car makes it easier to convince people that your vehicle is worth what you claim it is.

No wonder we get lowballed all the time....
 
Ha. More articles written by experts I see.



If they think that will help to increase the value or sell the vehicle more quickly, I wonder what they'd think if they saw what $500+ can do for your car.
 
I think it was Yvan that said -for every detailing dollar spent, expect a 225% return on investment. Also detailing is about the only thing you can do to improve the value of the vehicle. Lose money on a new paint job, tires, windshield, engine etc.
