How to Boost Your Car’s Trade-in Value

Boosting Car Value

Prior to bringing your car into our dealership to move forward with the trade-in process, there are some steps you can take to potentially boost the offer you’ll receive. For instance, catching up with any routine maintenance you might have missed, so the vehicle is up to date on repairs.

Similarly, providing service documentation can help assure the dealership that you have taken care of your vehicle over the years. You can also explore having your vehicle cleaned and detailed, so that it looks great when you bring it in for inspection.

This enhanced appearance could make the vehicle look like new and potentially increase the value as the vehicle’s condition plays an important role in determining the value of a used vehicle.

How to Trade in a Car

After you’ve prepped your vehicle, you’ll be ready to bring it in. How can you trade in your car at our dealership? First, you’ll want to bring it in for inspection. Here, we’ll take a look at the vehicle and make sure it’s in proper working order. We’ll also evaluate its condition, mileage, and more as we look to arrive at an appraisal based on the vehicle’s overall desirability.

Then, we’ll present you with an offer. If you decide to accept, you’ll just need to present our team with the title and registration for the vehicle as well as your license. This will allow us to confirm your ownership of the vehicle and you’ll be ready to head home with a new ride.

Additional Research

If you’re looking to make a trade, you may need to do some more research before moving forward with this process. For example, you may want to find a vehicle on our lot to make the trade. Fortunately, we’ve got plenty of options across the car, truck, and SUV categories. We’re well-positioned to help you find a new ride that suits your specific wants and needs as a local driver.

Additionally, we offer a payment calculator that can serve as a trade-in calculator, allowing you to input different kinds of information. This includes the trade in value you’ll receive, desired monthly payment, and more as you look to get an estimated payment plan for a specific ride you’re interested in.
