I currently own a 2001 Jetta GL, and I'm trading it in for a brand new 2007 GTI. I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on what I can do to the car so that the resale value can be higher? Get it detailed? Simple wash? Have the oil changed?

new tires, detailed, vaccumed inside, new brake pads, etc. in the end you have to spend money to make money.

i would never sell my car to the dealership. sell it privately you will get more back. i had a 2000 gmc jimmy very clean well kept/garage kept the dealer would have given me $2,000 as a trade-in. i sold it for $6,000 in less than a week just parking it at the end of my driveway with the origional sticker in the window. that's more money in your pocket. the only way i would trade -in would be if the car has serious problems.
