Sure, you say you've had your car maintained regularly and the battery is practically brand new, but can you prove it? This is why you should keep a folder of maintenance and repair records on your car.

Besides providing evidence, an orderly folder packed with repair and maintenance records shows you really cared about your car and that's what a potential owner wants to know.

Also, get a vehicle history report from CarFax or Experian and present it with the car. Among other things, these records will show the vehicle's ownership history.
