How To Get the Most from Your Trade-In

We know that you want to get the most from your trade-in. So here are some tips to help you trade in your vehicle and get top dollar:

• Clean the inside of your vehicle thoroughly. This includes emptying all the trash and personal items from the cabin as well as wiping down surfaces.
• Vacuum and clean the carpet. You can use the vacuum at your local car wash if you don’t want to use your own, and many places rent carpet-cleaning machines for reasonable rates.
• Wash and wax the exterior of your vehicle. The more curb appeal you can add to your vehicle, the easier it is for us to sell, which results in a higher trade-in amount for you.
• Fix any damage. If your vehicle has visible damage either inside or out, it’s advisable to get it fixed or repair it yourself if it’s mainly cosmetic and you’re confident in your ability.
• Have all your maintenance records when you bring your vehicle in. Keeping your vehicle in top shape will help you get the most from it when you’re ready to trade it in, so if you’re behind on any scheduled maintenance, get it taken care of before trading it in.

Following these tips should help you get the best possible price for your ride when you’re ready to upgrade.

Benefits of Trading in Your Vehicle

While you can often sell your vehicle yourself to a private party for a higher price, there are many benefits associated with trading it in at a dealership. When selling a vehicle to a private party, you have to do the legwork of creating an appealing advertisement. Then, you’ll have to answer inquiries about your vehicle for interested parties. If someone is truly interested in purchasing your vehicle, you’ll need to show it to them in person. Most people choose to do this at a public location so that they don’t have strangers coming to their house.

This can be inconvenient, especially if you don’t end up selling your vehicle to the first person who shows interest. In fact, it can take months to sell your vehicle yourself. Trading your vehicle in for a new one eliminates you having to deal with any of the aforementioned inconveniences, as we’ll take it off your hands the same day we make you an offer. And you can drive home in your new vehicle that day.
