Together with the standard features a buyer of a new car can add options such as back-up cameras, heated or air-conditioned seats, Bluetooth, sport features and many others. All the features add cost to the new car, but not all of them increase its value for a resale.

Every customer puts options that are most desired, but the personal approach is not always beneficial for the car. For example, the northern people appreciate rear-window defogger, intermittent wipers, and engine-block heater. At the same time these features will not be valued in the south. Residents of California prefer to have Bluetooth technologies in their vehicles because the state law requires the use of hand-free devices while driving and talking on phone.

So, here are some general add-ons which improve the value of a vehicle in any part of the country:

1. The right size alloy wheels.
2. Navigation systems.
3. Good electronics such as DVD-system, satellite radio, high-quality stereo package.
4. Sunroof.
5. Leather seats and interior.
6. Intelligent keys that allow to start the vehicle from being outside or to adjust seats, mirrors and radio stations.
7. Various body kits like fog lights, legal window tinting, grilles, step-bars, etc.
