What is a Trade In?
Before you choose a trade-in, you should have an understanding about what it entails. Choosing a trade-in is all about getting fair value for your vehicle when you bring it to a dealership and prepare to get something new. It's important to know what a fair value is and how you can get it.
First, you should do research about your vehicle to get an understanding of how much it's potentially worth. You should start to gather any materials you need for the process and have them ready. Maintaining your vehicle's paperwork is especially important in this process, and you should have proof of ownership, state registration, insurance cards, and any outstanding loan information and service records ready.
By gathering these items ahead of time, you can make the trade-in process easier and allow our team to place the right value on your vehicle.
How Can I Value My Trade?
Once you have the materials you need, you'll want to know the value of your vehicle is fair. You've done the research and have an idea of how much you could get, but will the dealership provide the same value?
You can boost the value of your trade by taking some steps to make your vehicle look and operate at its best. Caring for your vehicle regularly can keep it in the condition that returns the best value. You can also make sure your vehicle is free of any noticeable damage or blemishes.
You can also explore the Value Your Trade tool on our website. Simply enter specific information about your vehicle to get an estimate of how much your vehicle may be worth. You can seek a second opinion from an outside source to get a better sense of what to expect at a dealership.
You'll also want to make sure you have a vehicle history report, both for your usage of the vehicle and any previous ownership. These resources can go a long way in making sure you get the value you deserve. You can also trade in a vehicle even if you're still paying on it. You can consolidate the amount you owe into the price of a new vehicle.
