A bed liner for your pickup truck is a great idea and you have come to the right place at LINE-X of South Central Pennsylvania. Our bed liners offer the best protection and are designed to hold up over a lifetime of work. But what if you are planning to sell your truck in a few years to upgrade to a newer model? The amount of damage done shouldn’t affect the resale value over that short of a period of time will it? Yes it can and one of the best modifications to a truck to positively affect its resale value is to have a bed liner installed.

Get a bed liner regardless of whether you plan to sell the vehicle

You have a lot of different options when it comes to a bed liner but the strongest and most durable is a spray-on bed liner and at LINE-X of South Central Pennsylvania we believe that our product is second to none. You are reading this so at least you are curious about it so that is a start.

What the bed liner does for resale value

Think about your truck if you were a prospective buyer. Would you want to buy a pickup with a rusted or damaged bed. That is going to lead to all kinds of problems for the new owner at some point. Maybe not now but at some point and it will be an issue if they try to sell the truck. Would you want to buy a truck with a damaged bed? If you said no, why would you expect someone to buy it from you, especially at your asking price? By properly protecting your bed it shows that you have taken care of at least that part of the vehicle.

Bed liners are designed to protect the bed of the truck by keeping dirt, grime and moisture off of the bed of the truck. Even slight usage can lead to damage like scratches and dents and even this slight damage is something that a good bed liner will protect the body from. The paint job will also be protected, which makes the vehicle much more aesthetically pleasing and attractive.When push comes to shove buyers value a non-damaged and protected bed, no matter how they plan to utilize the truck.

How much does it affect the resale value?

So the big question is how much can a bed liner increase the resale value? There is no set figure on that, after all you will only be able to sell the vehicle for as much as someone is willing to pay but it is possible that a bed liner can add at least $50-$100 to the value and it could be more. Much more. Up to $400 according to NADA Guides on some models. Taking into account the protection offered which makes your truck much more attractive the actual resale value can be much more.

There is no reason to protect your truck’s bed with a spray-on bed liner. It is well worth the investment both in the protection that it offers as well as the bump in appeal and value that comes should you need to sell your truck and if you do get a get liner go with the best, go with LINE-X!
