To learn more about trading in your car and valuing your trade-in, read on below!
FINDING YOUR CAR’S TRADE-IN VALUE
Any trade-in should start with a comprehensive research process. Mainly, you’ll need to do a bit of digging to find out how much your current car is worth.
Luckily, there are countless online resources that’ll help you find the current market value of your ride, and how your specific car compares. This will give you a better idea of how much your trade-in is worth, as well as how much you should expect in return from the dealership.
Most of these tools will only require some basic information, such as your vehicle’s:
- Year
- Make
- Model
- Trim Level
- Mileage Count
For a more accurate return, you’ll also want to include your car’s vehicle identification number (VIN). Additionally, you may need to add some brief notes about the condition of your trade-in.
INCREASING YOUR CAR’S TRADE-IN VALUE
Although that market value is a good benchmark for your trade-in, there are some ways to alter and improve your vehicle’s value.
When you trade in with a dealership, they’ll essentially want your vehicle to be “showroom ready”. After all, they are planning on selling it from their lot once the trade-in is complete.
So, some simple ways to increase your vehicle’s trade-in value include:
- Remove all personal belongings.
- Make simple at-home scratch repairs.
- Clean upholstery stains.
- Have your vehicle inspected ahead of time.
- Gather all necessary paperwork.
You’ll want to pay attention to how much you spend on pre-trade-in repairs and that it doesn’t exceed your vehicle’s trade-in value.
