- Service on Hyundai's schedule. Keep all records. This protects the warranty and battery life.
- Wash weekly and wax monthly. A spotless IONIQ 6 sells for $1,000 to $2,000 more.
- Park indoors to shield paint and interior from sun and weather.
- Fix dents or scratches right away. Each small repair adds $500 or more to value.
- Upgrade wisely. Add popular items like home chargers. Skip mods that turn off buyers.
- Track the market. Watch your car's value curve to pick the best time to sell.
Avoid big errors. Skip wraps or other mods. They scare buyers away. Never smoke inside. Clean-title, low-mile cars stand out.
Cold weather helps EV batteries hold up well. Charge to full before you sell. Buyers test range, and 361 miles impresses them.
