Boosting Vehicle Value

---

Prior to coming into our dealership to make a trade-in, you’ll want to prepare your old car a bit. This will help to maximize the amount you receive for it, if you’re searching the internet for how to boost trade-in value.

Fortunately, there are a few easy ways to prepare your vehicle for a trade-in and restore its condition, including:

• Providing your ride with cleaning and detailing inside and out
• Catching the vehicle up on service and maintenance
• Fixing body issues like scratches and dents

After you prepare your car a bit, you may also want to look into its worth. For that, we offer a trade-in calculator where you can input some information about your car, receiving an estimate of its worth in return.

Find a New Vehicle

When making a trade, you of course will need to find a new ride that you want to take home. This is exactly why we offer a diverse selection of vehicles. We’re confident we have an option on our lot that fits your wants and needs.

Having identified a new vehicle that fits your needs and prepped your car for a trade-in, you will be ready to move forward with the process by visiting us in person.

• Confirm Vehicle Choice - When you come in, you will likely want to test drive a model or a few, confirming the new car you want to move forward with.
• Vehicle Inspection and Research - Then, we’ll need to take a look at your old vehicle, inspecting and making sure everything is in working order. At this time, we’ll also conduct some research regarding your ride, looking into its value and desirability on the open market.
• Offer and Acceptance - Having learned more about your vehicle, we’ll arrive at an appraisal figure and present you with an offer. If you’d like to accept that offer at any point, we’ll just need your license as well as the title and registration for the vehicle.
• Details and Documents - From there, you’ll just need to sort through some paperwork with our finance department, going over key details like down payment and other deal points.

Then, you can make a few signatures and head home with your new ride!
