I always detail vehicles before selling, and they almost always go to the very first person who comes to see it. Of course it helps to price realistically.
Once I had a guy come to buy a $2K motorcycle. He flat out told me that he was sure I left $200 of wiggle room in the advertised price, but it was so clean he couldn't bring himself to play any games with me. We both left that transaction happy.
OTOH, my local Ford dealer didn't bother to even wash my truck before my appointment to negotiate my purchase. So I felt no remorse in doing some serious arm twisting a week later when I discovered the importance of the missing cover for the 7-pin connector. Got the whole connector replaced for free and a coupon for a free car wash.
