Starting Your Trade-in

Your trade-in process starts when you speak to a sales representative and let them know you have a vehicle to trade in. They'll then have a used car appraiser take a look at your ride and check it out to verify its condition. There are several things that are taken into account when determining its value, including:

• Make
• Model
• Mileage
• Year
• Condition

Once an expert examines your car inside and out, you'll receive an offer based on their findings. That value can then be applied toward whatever you choose as your next ride at the dealership.

Preparing to Trade

Before you get your trade-in process started, you'll want to take a few steps to maximize its value. The more care and work you put into your car, the better it'll reflect on your car's value. Here's what you can do before coming to the dealership.

Cleaning up your ride will give it an appealing look that drivers love, so take the time to freshen it up inside and out. Having your car detailed by a professional takes this to the next level, giving you a like-new look that will catch the eye. This level of detail will boost your trade-in car's value when you come to the dealership.

Any and all records and paperwork will give the appraiser a better idea of the car's condition. Gather your records and receipts of service and repairs for a complete look at the car's background. Having routine maintenance performed just before trading saves the dealer the need of doing it themselves, giving you another boost to your car's worth.
